Based on Profit



Organizations may be classified on the base of relevance and focus on ‘Profit’. These organizations can be:
Profit based organizations - The primary goal of these organizations is to increase their profit margin. These organizations try to increase the price of the company stock by maximizing their shareholder value.

Non-profit based organizations - These organizations do not have profit as their primary goal. They are usually involved with socially relevant issues. Some examples of non-profit organizations include social groups, universities, human rights commissions, and worker unions.
