Write a Précis of the following passage and suggest a title:
Objectives pursued by organizations should be directed to the satisfaction of demands resulting from the wants of mankind. Therefore, the determination of appropriate objectives for organized activity must be preceded by an effort to determine precisely what their wants are. Industrial organizations conduct market studies to learn what consumer goods should be produced. City Commissions make surveys to ascertain what civic projects would be of most benefit. Highway Commissions conduct traffic counts to learn what constructive programmes should be undertaken. Organizations come into being as a means for creating and exchanging utility. Their success is dependent upon the appropriateness of the series of acts contributed to the system. The majority of these acts is purposeful, that is, they are directed to the accomplishment of some objective. These acts are physical in nature and find purposeful employment in the alteration of the physical environment. As a result, utility is created, which, through the process of distribution, makes it possible for the cooperative system to endure. Before the Industrial Revolution most cooperative activity was accomplished in small owner-managed enterprises, usually with a single decision maker and simple organizational objectives. Increased technology and the growth of industrial organizations made necessary the establishment of a hierarchy of objectives. This, in turn, required a division of the management, function until today a hierarchy of decision maker exists in most organizations.
The effective pursuit of appropriate objectives contributes directly the organizational efficiency. As used here, efficiency is a measure of the want satisfying power of the cooperative system as a whole. Thus, efficiency is the summation of utilities received from the organization divided by the utilities given to the organization, as subjectively evaluated by each contributor.
The functions of the management process is the delineation of organizational objectives and the coordination of activity towards the accomplishment of these objectives. The system of coordinated activities must be maintained so that each contributor, including the manager, gains more than he contributes.

Precis:
Organizations should perform those actions that satisfy the needs of humankind. The demands must guide the objectives of an organization. Feasibility of demand should be conducted by the market surveys. The success and endurance of any organisation are measured by the achievement of its objectives and their future utility. Organizational effectiveness is determined by their efficiency – the ability to meet the objectives. Furthermore, the advancement in technology has transformed the simple organisational structure into a hierarchical and more complex one. This division of work exists today in most modern organizations. Objectives should be coordinated and delimited within modern structures so that each worker gets more benefit than his respective input.
