diverse kinds of associations and their motivations are talked about beneath:
Sole proprietorships: These are those associations which are possessed and worked by a private
individual with no sharing of benefit and assets of the organization. This sort of structure is

proprietors is confined to the face estimation of offers held and they can't be compelled to
offer their own advantages if there should arise an occurrence of default of the
organization to pay its contribution. Tesco goes under this kind of association. A
restricted organization has the degree to develop huge as it can deal with an extensive
number of assets. There is a separation amongst proprietors and administration and Board

viable and in addition proficient way. The primary motivation behind this sort of
association is to develop business and increment the general productivity of the
organization in the meantime guaranteeing that consumer loyalty is accomplished and an
esteem creation to the general public has been done adequately. It is overseen and
claimed by various people and in this manner, the goal of the organization is very wide
and limited like different associations, for example, organizations and sole exchanging
(Grover and Kohli, 2012).
