what are the formal organizations and what role do they play throughout the society
Formal organization. Formal organization is a fixed set of rules of intra-organization procedures and structures. As such, it is usually set out in writing, with a language of rules that ostensibly leave little discretion for interpretation.
In some societies and in some organizations, such rules may be strictly followed; in others, they may be little more than an empty formalism. 1  To facilitate the accomplishment of the goals of the organization: In a formal organization, the work is delegated to each individual of the organization. He/She works towards the attainment of definite goals, which are in compliance with the goals of the organization.
