In the following essay, I will be discussing several types of organisations and as well
as this, I will be portraying the structured hierarchy and how it is established in the
business plan. The company I will be discussing is Coca cola.
The pyramid-shaped organizational chart we alluded to prior is known as a
progressive org chart. It is the foremost common sort of organizational structure––
the chain of command goes from the best (e.g., the CEO or director) down (e.g.,
entry-level and low-level employees) and each representative includes an
administrator.

Pros
 Better defines levels of authority and responsibility
 Shows who each person reports to or who to talk to about specific projects
 Motivates employees with clear career paths and chances for promotion
 Gives each employee a specialty
 Creates camaraderie between employees within the same department

Cons

 Can slow down innovation or important changes due to increased


bureaucracy
 Can cause employees to act in interest of the department instead of the
company as a whole
 Can make lower-level employees feel like they have less ownership and can’t
express their ideas for the company

Comparable to a various levelled organizational structure, a utilitarian org structure


begins with positions with the most noteworthy levels of duty at the beat and goes
down from there. Essentially, in spite of the fact that, workers are organized agreeing
to their particular aptitudes and their comparing work within the company. Each
isolated office is overseen freely.
Pros

 Allows employees to focus on their role


 Encourages specialization
 Help teams and departments feel self-determined
 Is easily scalable in any sized company

Cons

 Can create silos within an organization


 Hampers interdepartmental communication
 Obscures processes and strategies for different markets or products in a
company

Organisational structures:
An organisation in a public sector is DVLA, they are the sole organisation in licensing
and ensuring the legal procedure for new drivers in the UK. The DVLA is under the
agency board, the board is responsible for all decisions based on feedback from the
second in command whom is the executive team. The portfolio branch then consists
of the change board, the transform board, and surface rein finance.

An organisation under the private sector is Coca Cola, they are founded on the
board whom is responsible of the executive team and the different departments such
as health and safety and manufacturing and other departments such as fulfilment
services.

Organisations come in all different types of shapes and sizes, the contrast between
small organisations whom consists of the owner, the different percentage
stakeholders compared to the global organisation whom requires different
departments for basic function due to the level of scaling required.
Organisations naturally based on size require certain amount of employees for basic
functioning. Ryanair whom is a global airline service is an organisation whom require
many employees due to the size; Micro-enterprises have up to 10 employees. Small
enterprises have up to 50 employees. Medium-sized enterprises have up to 250
employees. Global organisations such as Ryanair would require thousands of
employees for basic functioning.

Organisations can be structured in several different ways, sometimes depending on


the objective of the organisation and deciding which party in the organisations makes
the final authoritative decisions can be based on several factors, factors such as
stake interest in the company, whether there is a concise implementation from the
board of directors or whether these decisions have been subjected to various
members of positions. If we take a look at the generic company style hierarchy, we
find at the top of the pyramid lies the CEO, within the flat line structure, it presents to
us the management layers, each position of the manger hierarchy has delegated
power span to an extent until the superior officer, this ensures targets are
fundamental for each foundation of the company as it pressures each level to meet
the expectations of the superior and so forth leading back to the CEO linked back
from the new employee as each individual is responsible to another member of of
the hierarchy whether that may be the team leader to one specific area or in contrast
to the general manager responsible to the director.

An organizational structure is a visual diagram of a company that describes what


employee’s do, whom they report to, and how decisions are made across the
business. Organizational structures can use functions, markets, products,
geographies, or processes as their guide, and cater to businesses of specific sizes
and industries.

In the above diagram, we find the lieutenant position within the hierarchy features a
various range of expertise all blended for the finishing objective, each role is
subjective to ensuring their field of expertise is being fulfilled observed and
overmatched by the CEO who answers to the board of directors hypothetically, even
though he remains majority interest of the company. The team leaders tend to be in
control of specific roles in a department fulfilling specific roles for a bigger objective
however if it does not function it can drastically alter the overall production of
alternative departments. This is the reason it is without question a role that must be
fulfilled, as employees must be over watched to ensure they are fulfilling individual
roles and any production alteration can affect other areas of the company.

The innovative business can be affected negatively when it is implemented in a flat


line business model, this is due to the fact that is a quite robotic model, it does not
allow room for progression due to the direct objective style of typical flat line
business, the innovative model requires a scheme in which room is abundant for
manoeuvring of positions due to the intuition of the department requiring innovative
techniques for the progression of the overall company and to meet the original
business model which is opposite to the Syngenta model which is a fixed robotic
model. Within seasonal based business, especially in the food industry we find that
during the high business active months of the year such as towards the end of the
year going on new year’s such as Christmas time, business are required to inflate
the number of employees very quickly to meet the demands of the supplier for the
business active months, these are a typical subjective temporary job, it allows no
room for progression and is no more than a temporary position, this is due to the fact
the business is seasonal it is not affordable to employ such number of staff for long
term contracts due to the fact the demand is solely not 12 months a year.

This is an example of how the committee works in ordinance to finalise decisions in


which the board of directors fulfil these decisions. The committee is composed of
different sectors; these include the chair, the audit who overlooks the company
books. This is a model used to fulfil an effective organisational structure.
Organisational structures are deemed effective based on the effectiveness of the
model to fulfil sole demands and targets of the company, should the simplest formula
be the solution to the targets of a company, and then this is considered a very
effective organisation based on the simple yet effective model. Each company is
different and due to different fields of business and marketing interests being
different with such various range of logistics each company requires a structural
model based on the fundamental objective of the company in order to fulfil tasks.

Completing the most effective logistics for each company is not the easiest task; this
is because it requires extensive research into the objective market in order to
understand the role of each element of the logistics in order for efficient
manufacturing and fulfilment. Research is therefore crucial in preparation to
completing a business structure, date collection is a task that requires its own
department and this date can be implemented in creating market and brand
strategies.

The initial task is the date collection, which is broken down into two aspects, primary,
and secondary data, Primary data is a type of data that is collected by researchers
directly from main sources through interviews, surveys, experiments, etc. Primary
data are usually collected from the source—where the data originally originates from
and are regarded as the best kind of data in research. This type of data is crucial to a
business to understanding the market and the fundamentals of the logistics;
Secondary data refers to data that is collected by someone other than the user.
Common sources of secondary data for social science include censuses. The
secondary data is distinguished between the primary and itself and is established
into reliable and so forth to determine effective results from the date, data can be in
two broken elements, qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative research
involves collecting and analysing non-numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to
understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. It can be used to gather in-depth
insights into a problem or generate new ideas for research. Quantitative research is
the process of collecting and analysing numerical data. It can be used to find
patterns and averages, make predictions, test causal relationships, and generalize
results to wider populations. Organisations prefer researching competitors outside
logistics from a quantitative formula due to the numerical outlook.

Data collection plays a very crucial role in the statistical analysis. In research, there
are different methods used to gather information, all of which fall into two categories,
i.e. primary data, and secondary data. As the name suggests, primary data is one,
which is collected for the first time by the researcher while secondary data is the data
already collected or produced by others.
Group work case studies-

Question 1-
Within the case studies that have been discussed, regarding the first question in
major government legislations had been mentioned. The concepts include the
reformation of an economy based on reduced tariff fees as a proposal from
nationwide legislations, as well as this simplified export introduced a greater interest
shown within the market based on tariff and export legislations as greater profits
available seemed appealing. B) One impact of the concept is it allows a bigger
market for competitors to enter due to appealing profits, another impact it could have
on the Indian industry is an increase of consumers within the subjective market as it
targets a mass consumer doe the deflation of the price due to more competitors, a
third impact it could have is due to the over populating of individual markets due to
the benefits of the concepts it could cause a average price reduce and cause
reduced turnovers by business on a nationwide scale.

Question 2-
Several factors could be direct or indirect hindrance to Naman and Govinds
business, factors such as ethical environmental factors, the railways the duo may be
using may be non-echo friendly which could cause ethical, polluting issues, other
factors such as rival competitors who are thoroughly excelling could already be
completely populating the market leaving no space for new innovative competitors to
be able to fulfil great marketing awareness of publicity due to the over shadowing of
the competitors who consume are great section of the market. Other factors such as
production costs and therefore margins of the business could be affected due to the
costs of occupying the seats within railways as they are a rather expensive as well
as competitive market. Political factors could affect their business such as political
decisions such as nationwide lockdowns or tier lockdowns or legislations such as
returning UK citizens to quarantine which could reduce the number of passengers
and therefore could cause losses that are harsh to the business.
