In the below-mentioned assignment, four tasks have been described in a well-organizedmanner. Various types and purposes of the organisations like public sector, the privatesector and the voluntary sectors having their legal, organisational structures are being discussed.The scope and range of different types of organisations are outlined. Moreover, the relationshipbetween different organisations’ functions along with the PRIMARK’ functions are established.P1. Explain different types and purposes of organisations; public, private and voluntarysectors and legal structures.Task 1: Various types and objectives of organisations; public, private, legal structures andvoluntary sectorsThe objective, purpose and need of various organisations are stated below:3
Public Sector OrganisationsSpecifically, for the common people, these public-sector organisations are regulated andcontrolled by the government. The people are liable to pay taxes to the government, and this isfurther invested in the public sector. The only aim of these public-sector organisations is toconvey the essential public sector services and to the advantage of the public to take theseresources into account[ CITATION Cum14 \l 1033 ]. Additionally, the public sector has three widestandpoints as a buyer, a provider and a producer. As a producer, the public sector works in an extensive range of services that are availableto its people. Also, the public sector produces some health care and education related servicesand some goods[ CITATION Dan15 \l 1033 ]. Furthermore, the public sector purchases the productitems to support the industry for providing excellent services such as park equipment and roadbuilding services, etc. Like in case of UK, Tesco is the public limited organization whose fundsare granted by the government. Besides this, they work for the interest of the people. It is thegiant supermarket which is established to fulfil the needs and requirements of the individual.Regarding the growth of international business environment, it has expanded its operations manyother countries. The types of organisational structures in the public sector are stated below:Divisional structuresIn these kinds of structures, they segregate the tasks and available responsibilities whichare dependent on market territories such as force or geography. The courts follow this effectivesystem and structure allowing for the public sector. These structures formulate set objectives.Horizontal structuresIn these types of structures, there are a few positions at the top and other bottom nextlevels. The supervisors are very limited, but there is an excess of colleagues. This structure is avery common and effective structure pursued in most of the organisations like law firms,architecture and medical firms also. The available personnel or employees in these structureswork in collaboration (Doherty et al., 2014).4
Vertical structuresIn the vertical kinds of structures, there are some people at the top level and some aregrowing in the middle, and some are at the lower level status. It clearly indicates that there aresomepeople who have authorities for making the decisions and policies[ CITATION Fow13 \l 1033 ].However, there are so many people who execute those decisions. Typically, the governments’move in the direction of these arrangements since the job started. The scope is very well defined,organised and managed. Every person has the right to the position and power. For illustration;the military follows this effective structure.Private sector organisationsThese well-reputed business firms are controlled and managed by private people likepartnerships, sole traders and franchises. The basic objective of these organisations is to increasethe profit along with the sales. This market share will be raised, and growth will be high. Theyare concerned in meeting the expectations of the customers but with the motive of earning profit.There is no intervention of government in the activities and operations of the firm. All decisionsare taken by the owners or the stakeholders of the company. For e.g. – virgin Atlantic is privateorganization which aims at earning revenue. It has expanded its business in other countries and itserving cities like Tokyo, Mumbai etc. Non profit organization As the name suggests it does not work for profit of the organization. The organization ismade for the betterment of the society. It is basically dedicated to the social cause or the issuewhich is prevailing in the society. The sources of finance come from the donations, and furtherthe government also grants them finance to carry out the activities. Cancer research in UK is oneof the non- profitable organizations and it has expanded its research areas in other countries. Voluntary GroupsVoluntary groups are never made or managed by the individuals or the governments.However, there are some people who are responsible for making it sure all of the targets and thebudgets of the business are set accordingly in a proper manner. These types of organisations takethe initiative to assist and guide the blinds or the animals[ CITATION KUM14 \l 1033 ]. Theseorganisations run by the donations and grants by the Govt.
