Unitary Frame- refers to the way of thinking, attitude, views that are associated with the
membership and management of organisation. The business unit consists of members that have
different views and beliefs based on their education and learning. The employees working in
business unit have same goals and objective to achieve but difference lies in the way they
achieve the aim for industry. This expression can be analysed by implementing mission
statement as it measures the success on the basis of actual result. Unitary supporting structure in
other companies begins with beliefs and assumption. This structure states that conflict between
two people in organisation arises due to occurrence of complex situation and all above that
difference of opinion that have influence on other employees.
Pluralistic frame-In this type of structure the business unit is divided into powerful and other
sub groups. These unions and groups have different objectives and goals. Pluralistic structure of
TESCO seems to be most perfect and suitable frame. It is considered to be perfect and suitable as
this construction assists firm in building good working environment for employees and helping
them to develop understanding with their subordinates (Chadzingwa, 2010)
