Die Begriffe Ablauforganisation und Aufbauorganisation, werden ebenso wie der Begriff des
Managements, mit dem Bereich der Betriebswirtschaft und damit der Profitwelt verbunden.
Gegen das Profitdenken der Profitwelt wird sich in der Sozialen Arbeit gewehrt und damit das
„Managementdenken“ (Badelt 1997, S. 123) in Frage gestellt. In Nonprofit Organisationen
steht jedoch die Erreichung eines gesetzten Ziel im Vordergrund und auch dort müssen
Menschen motiviert und angeleitet werden. Da dies notwendigerweise mit Planung und
Kontrolle verbunden ist, ist an dieser Stelle festzuhalten: „NPOs sind ohne Management nicht
denkbar.“ (ebd.)
Entscheidend für die Funktionsfähigkeit einer Organisation, sind die Regelung und Verteilung
der Aufgaben und Kompetenzen und die Regelung und Optimierung der Arbeitsabläufe,
innerhalb der Organisation. Diese Gestaltung der Arbeitsteilung und Arbeitsabwicklung sind
Aufgabe der Aufbau- bzw. Ablauforganisation und die Kenntnis über deren Funktionen und
Ziele, damit basal für das Verständnis, wie eine Organisation funktioniert.
Im Folgenden wird zunächst das Arbeitsthema der Hausarbeit näher erläutert, um dann in
einem folgenden Schritt, die zentralen Begriffe des Arbeitsthemas näher zu bestimmen.

It emphasizes the significance of understanding these organizational aspects to comprehend the functioning of NPOs.
II. Structural Organization: This chapter delves into the functions of structural organization within NPOs. It explores various models of structural organization, including line organizations, group organizations, and matrix organizations. The analysis likely examines the strengths and weaknesses of each model, considering their applicability and effectiveness within the unique context of nonprofit settings. The chapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how different structural arrangements can influence an NPO's internal operations and its ability to achieve its goals.
III. Process Organization: This chapter focuses on the procedures and methods involved in designing and implementing effective workflow processes within NPOs. It likely discusses the steps necessary for optimizing workflows, taking into account the specific characteristics and constraints of the nonprofit environment.
