Formal Organizations
• Formal organizations fall into the secondary group category because they are formed with a purpose or goal in mind instead of around the relationships of the people involved. They are generally bureaucratic, where there is a hierarchy of power, and hold an identity separate from the individuals that make up the group. The organization can stay the same because of its mission, even if the group members change. Examples of formal organizations include the Catholic Church, governments and corporations.

Formal Organizations
A formal organization is a structured group that is developed to achieve specific goals efficiently. A formal organization is characterized by activities (salaries, for example), an internal system of communication (who reports to whom), and activities directed toward the achievement of certain goals. Organizations have an internal environment that depends on the relations among groups and members in the organization. In addition, organizations operate in an external environment that includes such diverse forces as government regulations and competing organizations; an environment that affects the achievement of organizational goals. In formal organizations the environment is formal and impersonal.
