A government is the body within an organization that has the authority to make and enforce rules, laws and regulations, control and direct the actions or behavior of the individuals within the organization and deal with everyday administrative issues. Typically, the government refers to a civil government or sovereign state which can be either local, national, or international. These types of governments self-legitimize their authority using a monopoly on violence. However, commercial, academic, religious, or other formal organizations are also governed by internal bodies which gain their authority voluntarily. Such bodies may be called boards of directors, managers, or governors or they may be known as the administration (as in schools) or councils of elders (as in churches). Growth of an organization increases the complexity of its government, therefore small towns or small-to-medium privately-operated enterprises will have few officials compared to larger organizations such as multinational corporations which will have multiple interlocking, hierarchical layers of administration and governance. As complexity increases and the nature of governance becomes more complicated,so does the need for formal policies and procedures. Public sector governance is studied as Public Administration while that in the private sector is studied as Business Administration. The concept of government has been around since humanity itself where hunter-gatherers would commonly establish tribes high authority and have unique ideals. However, government is not limited to the human species itself as many animals establish groups such as ants, lions, and bees. From Wikipedia under the
