An institute is a permanent organizational body created for a certain purpose. Often it is a research organization (research institution) created to perform investigations in a certain area or it is a professional body. In some countries, it can also be part of a university or other institution of higher education, as a group of departments, or an autonomous educational institution without a classic full university status, like a University Institute. In the United Kingdom, the title 'Institute' is a protected word and companies may only use that word if they are "organizations which are carrying out research at the highest level or to professional bodies of the highest standing". Furthermore, if a company is carrying on a business under a different name to the company name, that business name must comply with the Business Names Act. Use of the title 'Institute' requires approval from the Secretary of State. Failure to obtain approval is a criminal offence.

The broad area commonly referred to as an organizational studies, organizational behavior or organization analysis. Browse: Links | Articles | Images | Videos |
