Aufbau vs Organisation

organization

Organisation and Aufbau can both describe the internal structure of an authority. Aufbau focuses mainly on the arrangement of the parts and their hierarchy, while Organisation also includes how they function together. When the focus is on departments and levels, Aufbau works; when the focus is on their cooperation, Organisation is the better choice.
