There is actually a Bluemix documentation page on Organization and Spaces.

An organization is the highest concept. When you create an account you get your own "organization". You can invite others to your organization, can get invited to join other organizations or create organizations.

Spaces are used to group related apps and services together. There can be multiple spaces within an organization. When an app or service is created, you have to assign a space.
