Organisational structure and design is very important for business growth and development

smoothly. This is only possible when organisation have proper design and structure. There are
various determinants that affect structuring and design of Apple. All of these factors are listed
and elaborated below:-
 Size of organisation:- Size of the organisation is very important factor that affect design
of organisation. Need of structured and organised working environment of organisation is
directly proportional to the size of organisation (Kotni and Karumuri, 2018). Which
means that if the size of organisation is large scale then organisation need to maintain
more structured working environment because there are high chances of errors and
conflict. Apple is a big organisation thus need of proper design of working culture is very
important.
 Complexity of organisation:- Complexity of organisation refers to the nature of internal
working of organisation and this inversely proportional to productivity of organisation.
More complex the organisation will be less productivity their employees will have. Apple
is technology based business and pretty complex organisation structure yet they manage
to maintain level of productivity of employees.
