Functions

Definition

self-contained subsets of an organization intended to accomplish specific tasks.

Term
Contrast between Functions and Processes
Definition

functions usually take the form of a team or group of people and the tools they use. Whereas processes help organizations accomplish specific objectives--often across multiple functional groups--functions add

structure and stability to organizations.

Functions generally map fairly directly to the organizational chart of an organization and are supported by budgets and reporting structures. Processes, by contrast, typically do not have budgets and reporting structures. Both functions and processes involve roles.
