TASK 1
P1. Organisational design theory and its importance in the context of organisational structure and
fulfilling organisational strategy.
Organisational design theory can be explained as the framework that highlights how an
enterprise structures itself for accomplishing normal activities. For the business organisations,
there are different forms of organisational designs are acquirable, with each one indulging
definite merits and demerits. There are different types organisational structure which can be used
by the larger business entities in order to establish a flow of communication and to report their
work. These structures can be functional, matrix, divisional, networking or team which supports
organisational manager to determine their departmental groupings. These structure are adopted
as per the needs of business companies (Banfield, Kay and Royles, 2018). In a research, it is
found that Tesco is using hierarchal organisational structure in their business. With this structure,
the obligations, responsibilities and positions are divided into various sections to make sure the
job will be accomplished smoothly and efficiently. Individuals at the top of the pyramid of

business have the most obligations and authorities as well. It is also observed that this kind of
organisational structure is most commonly used by many firms. For example, with the help of
this organisational structure, as executives assigned roles and responsibilities to their employees
and divide their work into groups would help in attaining the goals and objectives in the most
efficient manner (Zaid, Jaaron and Bon, 2018). As in the large organisations, there many are
departments and sections such as HRM, marketing, research, or finance every department has
their own work and specialisation due to which better results can be attained for the organisation.
In context to Tesco, the regional manager assign the work to their store manager and then he or
she assigned further responsibilities and obligations to other three executives such as personnel
manager, food trading manager and non-food trading manager, then, further, food trading
manager divide work into two more executives that are fresh food section manager and ambient
food manager, whereas, non-food trading manager divide work into their two more executives
such as electrical section manager and clothing section manager and so on. In this way, Tesco's
store section divided their work into small parts so that better results and objectives can be
realised for the businesses.
Importance of organizational design theory:
 The hierarchal organisational structure used by the Tesco organisation work very well in
organisation that merchandise products and services in the B2B industry. It helps in
making sure that employees perform their assigned roles and responsibilities in the very
