Literature review of people in the organisation

An organisation is instituted based on the negotiated association between people, who in turn work together as a tea for the characteristic of the firm.  In this case, people are our group members who will be in of selling the T-shirts. Research shows that in an organisation, particularly start-ups they need people including employees, suppliers, clients to sell the products to, and manufacturers (Lee and Jones, 2008).

For the organisation to realize these, it needs people to work with as such individuals cannot work unless they interact and communicate. In any given organisation, communication is evident (Tourish & Hargie 2004). For instance, communicating with clients, among employees and manager. Furthermore, experts demonstrate that there are various structures people use for the company to interact.
To start with, social structures where people individuals meet and interact not only formally but also informally. There is also controlled performance, which has structures for rules and policies for people to adhere to. Another structure is corporate objective for people to strive for achieving. For that reason, organisations are created in different structures.
Previous studies show that communication and interaction in organisations are fun as well as dynamic.

In addition, it comprised of components like involvement, collaboration and associated with the close-knit and familial setting (Saini & Plowman, 2007). On the other hand, other studies show that communication evolves as the organisation expands (Muller et al., 2012). In the start-ups, people communicate using unstructured communication platforms. This is the time a firm has few workers, as such there is a hierarchy (Saini & Plowman, 2007). Organisations also use dialogue to engage with stakeholders to formulate decisions and understanding. Increasing proof in entrepreneurship literature demonstrates that communication is of great importance for the sustainability of startup organisations.

This viewpoint emerges from past individual studies, alleging that during the initial phases a start-up organisation greatly depend on the external environment (Ulvenblad, 2008). For that reason, organisations should be strategic when it comes to communication.
Furthermore, people communicate unexpectedly and informally. Start-ups also interact with the organisational culture whereby discussions among people are not only practice but also different ideas are considered. Therefore, workers are involved in decision making while ensuring the ideas flow freely across the company (Saini & Plowman, 2007).

Past finding demonstrates that teamwork is an essential element for interaction in the organisation because it helps the people to accomplish missions and stimulates a sense of identity to the firm. Experts allege that with no defined communication structures when the start-ups start to expand, centralised structures begin to develop. In this case, information flow is significantly hindered while valuable ideas are lost in the processes (Saini & Plowman 2007).
