reorganization
The process of restructuring or redesigning a system, an organization, or an area.
Die Neuordnung der Abteilungen im Unternehmen soll die Arbeitsabläufe verbessern.
The reorganization of the departments in the company is intended to improve workflows.
The word is made up of 'neu' (new) and 'Ordnung' (order). So it literally describes the creation of a new order. The prefix 'Neu-' is very productive and can be placed before many nouns.
Die Firma plant eine Neuordnung ihrer internen Prozesse.
The company is planning a reorganization of its internal processes.
'Neuordnung' (reorganization) belongs to the word family of 'ordnen' (to organize / to arrange) and 'die Ordnung' (order). Like most nouns derived from a verb and ending in '-ung', it is feminine.
Die Regierung beschloss eine Neuordnung des Steuersystems.
The government decided on a reorganization of the tax system.
'Neuordnung' (reorganization) is often used in the context of large, complex systems. Common combinations are 'politische Neuordnung' (political reordering), 'wirtschaftliche Neuordnung' (economic reorganization), or 'die Neuordnung eines Bereichs' (the reorganization of an area).
Nach der Krise war eine wirtschaftliche Neuordnung notwendig.
After the crisis, an economic reorganization was necessary.
Whether the process or the result is meant can often be recognized from the verb. Verbs like 'fordern' (to demand), 'planen' (to plan), or 'durchführen' (to carry out) point to the process, while 'führen zu' (to lead to) or 'darstellen' (to represent) refer to the result.
Die Opposition fordert eine Neuordnung der Bildungspolitik.
The opposition is demanding a reorganization of education policy.
order
'die Ordnung' and 'die Neuordnung' both have to do with structure. 'Ordnung' describes an existing structure, a rule-based arrangement, or a sequence. 'Neuordnung', on the other hand, emphasizes that this structure is being changed and redesigned. This can refer to the process or to the result afterward. The words can be confused because both can refer to an ordered system. The important point is: 'Ordnung' is more about 'How is it ordered?', while 'Neuordnung' is more about 'How is it being reorganized?' or 'What is new after the change?'
