Various organizations formed through different legal structure as differing goals andobjectives in the industry, which have different consequences in thebusiness operations andperformances(Begg,2013). Publicfirm or organizationsare ownedand controlled by the government, which has generalpurpose of supplying desired goods and services to the general people. The management and control of thefirm is done by the government or governmental agencies, which does not have the purpose of profitmaximization but the greater benefitandvaluecreationforthecommunity’speople. Public limited companystructure is commonly followed for this type of organizations where required finances are delivered by thegovernments along with the owners or stockholders (Daniels et al, 2012). Besides, public organizations canalso be formed through governmental act or regulations. For example, BBC is the public organization, whichis controlled by the British government.Private organization has the general purpose of profit and wealth maximization where the firms are controlledby the stockholders. A set of stockholders delivers finances to the firms who are the owners and takefundamental decisions of the company. The owners get the dividend along with other benefits periodically.The company structureis followed for this type of organizations where company act 2006 is strictly followed(Palmer and Hartley, 2011).
