Introduction
In understanding the various type of organisation, it has been found out that the organisations
are different from each other by their purpose. This purpose of this organisation is also
developing different operations and functions for the organisation. However, there are three
types of organisations in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. These organisations
are interrelated to each other because after all together these organisations contribute to the
country directly or indirectly. Depending on the purpose of these organisations the
organisational structure, legal structure and corporate policies are being constructed.
However, in this discussion, a different type of organisations their structure their function and
the influence of external and internal factor on this organisations will be analysed.
LO1 the different types, size and scope of organisations
P1 The different types of organisations and the growth of the international business
environment
Depending on the purpose of the organisation there is three types of organisations which has
identified in the United Kingdom. Among them, the contribution of this type of organisations
is directly or indirectly related to the country's development and growth process (Drucker,
2017).
Public Organisation
The government of the country develops public organisations for improving the state and
provide service to the general population. However, the civic organisations are wholly
controlled by the government. In addition to that welfare of the society and different public
services is the primary functions in which these organisations are associated. However, the
public organisation can be run by the local government, the national government, the
provincial government, etc. However different public services like police service, educational
services, health services, transport services are part of the operations maintained by the civic
organisations (Hillary, 2017). In the country United Kingdom, some of the public services are
free for the citizens, and the facilities are run by the taxes given by the public of United
Kingdom.

The public organisations are usually medium or large size and run by the government or
government-sponsored funding. Not all the public organisations internationally spread but if
any public organisation spread globally, then the main reason for this expansion is
contributing to the economy of the country. However, the process of spending any public
organisation into international boundaries is one of the most complicated methods of business
history. Because if a general organisation of United Kingdom wants to expand their business
in another country, then they have taken legal permission from the Government of those
countries or need to collaborate with those countries’ government (Botha et al. 2014).
However, this process is usually more time to consume and also long process in nature. Some
of the business, which used to expand in international boundaries and also public
organisations, are the banks, the public railways, etc.
Private organization
The word private can easily show that the General public owns the private organisation.
However, it is ever done that private organisations can be built up by a private owner or
multiple private owners. The primary purpose of the private organisations is to develop a
business for gaining profit by selling services and products (Hair Jr et al. 2015). In addition to
that, the private organisations have an essential part of their organisational practice which is
their shareholders. Most of the private organisations have their share in a market which has
been sold and purchased by their shareholders. However, this shareholder is counted on the
part of the organisation and stakeholders, and their view and decisions are counted as
necessary as the decision of the owner. In addition to that, a private organisation can be built
by a person, Association, a corporation or a partnership. The private organisation did not
contribute directly to the country, but the contribution of private organisations in the
country's GDP is remarkable. In addition to that in the state of United Kingdom, the private
organisations are majority in number then public or voluntary organisations. A private
organisation can be both not for profit, and in identifying the examples for the private
organisation, the credit unions retail stores a different type of local business can be counted
(Goleman, 2017).
There is a huge possibility that a private organisation will expand internationally. Most of the
private organisation, who is successful in their country, wants to grow their business out of
the national boundaries. This is considered as a development process of private organisations.
The best part of their expansion is they can very flexible develop their business in other
