For example, corporationoffering services like accommodation, foo-ding, etc. to their clients. However, hotels of severalstars categories including from one to five stars targeted users of different spending abilities. Every sector faces certain issues in the sector that leads to hampering in the functionality.There are certain issues which are identified by research and they are as follows:Economic issues (Rising fuel cost)Political issues (visa and passport requirement)Disease outbreaks (Foot and Mouth disease)Terrorist attacksDemographic changesIncreasing urbanisationGrowth in population level.These issues has to be dealt with very cautionary approach so that there are less loss andmore profits. The industry have many opportunity and hence its scope its large. It means thereare range of different business within industry that are providing services, products and facilitiesto the consumers (CG Davidson, McPhail, and Barry, 2011).

and noon tangible elements. Also these products are so dynamic that they are easy to change andpresented in a changed environment. 1.2 Organisational structure of different hospitality organisationThe main motive of organisational structure is to provide the ways that assists inachieving aims and objectives of corporation and co-operating the activities of different teammembers. It also describes working duties, relationship, obligations and channels ofcommunication. There are three main types of organisational structure that is tall, matrix and flat.Each of them is described below:Tall organisational structure: The organisation is following autocratic leadership styleif it is tall where most of the tasks are performed by managers or its management. It hasmany levels of hierarchy. In such type of structure, there are commonly many managersbut each of them has small span of control over them as they are in charge of a mediumgroup of person. These structures tend to be more complicating and tangled. This cannotbe easily understand by their clients and working members also. These give response in avery slow manner to the marketing changes in comparison to managers where they havelarger span of control. In this structure, there are different layers of middle managementbetween the top managements and workers. Here all the layers of management, often create their own norms and processes thatmeans that workers who are working several layers down in the corporation might have vastrules and procedures to precede. This slows the working and made it bureaucratic. This also addscost because some of the functionalities are done by more than of employee. In tall structures,small number of workers are present , this makes the work of supervision more closely and alsomore period of time is giving in training of them. However, satisfaction level among employeesare very less because different layers of bureaucracy and have most rigid norms, so workers aregetting less chances to take on responsibilities (Bill Xu and Chan, 2010). Here decision makingis done very slow as it have to be approved through a large group of people, so managers facedifficulties in accessing executives without through a long line management. The communicationis done in a systematic manner from upward through management chain, managers and thenemployees, due to this all of them face difficulties as they cannot communicate directly.3
