Because organizations are made up of people, there is also an informal organization, the network of relationships, communication and ideas that link people.
This is loosely structured, flexible and spontaneous forms of organization, which alters according to it’s membership at any given time.
The informal organization is made up of:
People who form social group or cliques, or temporary networks, communication or alliance (grouping), colleagues who get together over coffee, or email each other at work
Informal customs and ways of getting things done which become unwritten rules or “the way we do things around here”
Informal channels of communications (sometimes called the grapevine) which by-pass official channels. This is often faster than official communication, though less accurate
