Why Have a Structure?

All businesses have to organise what they do A clear structure makes it easier to see which part of the business does what Having a structure allows you to divide the workload

Be able to define the following Flat or tall structure Span of control Chain of command Hierarchy Delegation Empowerment

Ways to Structure a Business 1. What are the advantages/disadvantages of different types of business structure?

Pros and Cons of Different Structures This depends on the business type, size and structure used Let’s look at a functional structure: Chief Executive Board of Directors Production Marketing Accounts Personnel IT

Make sure that you know how many layers each structure has

Functional Structure Advantages Disadvantages Specialisation – each department focuses on its own work Accountability – someone is responsible for the section Clarity – know your and others’ roles Disadvantages Closed communication could lead to lack of focus Departments can become resistant to change Coordination may take too long Gap between top and bottom

An Example of Organisation by Product/Activity Hewlett Packard Imaging and Printing Group Personal Systems Group Enterprise Systems Group HP Services HP Financial Services

Organisation by Product/Activity Advantages Clear focus on market segment helps meet customers’ needs Positive competition between divisions Better control as each division can act as separate profit centre Disadvantages Duplication of functions (e.g. different sales force for each division) Negative effects of competition Lack of central control over each separate division
