Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason for the concept of an organization being compared to an ice burg is important.
Introduction:
An ice burg that floats in the sea seems very big, when looked at from the surface. It is of course so, however, the portion of it that could not be seen from the surface is even bigger. Organizations are also similar to ice burgs. They consist of two areas, the area that is clearly identifiable when looked at from the outside and the deep area which many do not even know exists. It is important to understand both these areas in better managing an organization.
