The organisation is a social arrangement and it has some collective goals and it can control its own performance and it has a boundary which separate from the environment.The researches from social sciences had studied the organisation and had a several disciplines and most common are sociology,economics,political science,psychology,management,and organisation communication.The commonly referred broad area are organisation studies, organisation behavior or analyzing the organisation.In organisation there are different theories to perspective exist ,which are compatible, and some other are competing.
My view on organization is each and every country has its own organization For example if we take organization of India is different from Other countries. If we take an organization like BANKING Sector the banks in india and the banks in uk they have different organization rules.For example the banks provide a seperate room for cash machines with a security guard out side the door and he guards us and he provide a security to machine and help the people when there is a problem with machine.And one bank debit card is used in other bank cash machine they charge for the transaction.And when compared to Uk cash machine they are inside the wall .And there is no transaction fee while drawing the money from any cash machine with named link. This are two different organisation among the banking sector.

STRATEGY
The strategy is nothing but it is a long term planned derived to achieve some particular goals.The strategy planning is different for different companies and one cannot follow the strategy of others.There are different types of strategy like,business strategy,economic strategy,military strategy,political strategy,and genral strategy.
Example: china took a strategic plan to attack on us during first world war on pentagon.It is not easy to attack on us as it is big and developed country. But after attack on pentagon the us government took a long strategic plan and attacked on china with nuclear attack on hiroshima and Nagasaki on[6 and 9th Aug 1945] after attack on pentagon it took us a long strategy plan to attack on china.So each countries took long strategy plan to attack on each other.

COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE(COP):
The concept of a community of practice (often abbreviated as CoP) refers to the process of social learning that occurs and shared sociocultural practices that emerge and evolve when people who have common goals interact as they strive towards those goals.
The term was founded on the work of a few cognitive anthropologists, namely Barbara Rogoff(1985) and Jean Lave,who attempted to explain and describe learning that occurs in apprenticeship situations. Later, Lave, in collaboration with Etiene Wenger (1991) originated the construct participation in their studies of five apprenticeship situations: midwives in the Yucatan, Vai and Gola tailors, naval quartermasters, meat cutters, and a group of alcoholics anonymous. From their development of legitimate peripheral participation, they created the term community of practice to refer to communities of practitioners into which newcomers would enter and attempt to acquire the sociocultural practices of the community.
