TASK 11.1IntroductionIn today's modernised business era, a precise development of organisational structure andculture is referred to be an utmost consideration of all the businesses. It is mainly with referenceto their defined objectives with a general target of making timely distribution of goods andservices to the clients and users. An organisational structure with its own influential power isadditively impacted by varied other factors in terms of their designed goal, size and quality ofwork that they are referring to provide their customers (Ashkenas and et.al., 2015). Theretogether exists certain extrinsic factors along with the cultural dimensions of their respectivemarkets with reference to which, the organisational structure can in turn take varied accessibleforms. However, the chosen structure of the enterprise will eventually govern the entireorganisation with a significant orientation of their culture. An organisational culture showcasesthe integral attributes of work along with a meticulous depiction of their workplace environment.In addition to which, they together determines the associated factors of an establishment whereboth its structure and culture envisions their forthcoming abilities. Background of the studyA coherent aim of this study is to determine the impact of organisational structure andculture on business performance of ASDA, UK where it has also framed some relevant numberof objectives to carry out the research in a substantial manner. This is where employees arealways considered to be a principle association of ASDA where they are treated with enormousesteem and are well preserved in an honourable position (Englmaier and Leider, 2012). With ananalogous reference to it, the personnel resources are directly affected by an adopted set oforganisational structure and culture that in turn impact on their relative work performances. Thissubsequently impacts upon the productivity of the entities like ASDA with a simultaneous effecton their sales and profitability rates. It is thus important for the administrative parties of ASDAto make a clear referral of their intrinsic stakeholders like employees, shareholders and investors,etc., in adapting a peculiar structure of their firm. This will ultimately regulate theirorganisational culture and some relatively undertaken projects of the enterprise.Research aims and objectives1
The main aim of this study is “To determine the impact of organisational structure andculture on business performance: a study on ASDA, UK”. On whose basis, below defined aresome framed objectives that are required for a meticulous orientation of the research-To ascertain the concept of organisational structure and culture in ASDA.To discover the factual relationship among the structure and culture of ASDA.To identify the influential means of these associated factors that directly impacts upon thebusiness performance of ASDA. To recommend considerable ways of enhancing the business performance by inculcatingsome contemporary formats of organisational structure and culture at the workplace ofASDA. Research questionsWhat is the concept of organisational structure and culture in ASDA?What depicts a factual relationship among the structure and culture of ASDA?What are the influential means of both these factors that directly impacts upon thebusiness performance of ASDA?1.2This section is to depict the rationalised context of the study with reference to ASDA thathas given a prior sense of electing this particular topic to the investigator. Organizationalstructure and culture are two interconnected concepts of an establishment that directly definesthe behaviour of the appointed set of workforce. This is for instance to describe about aconsiderable structure of the organisation that in turn reflects a strong organisational culture(Fellows and Liu, 2015). Employee engagement is also a definite part of these concepts wherethe personnels of ASDA can refer to interact within an open format of communication. This willin turn assists the workforce to make an open discussion with their employers where they canalso tend to share their work related concerns with them. A leading beneficial tact of such workenvironment will also lead to combat any conflicted situation at the workplace with lessernumber of dispute among the workers. 1.3This section is to critically analyse the defined measures of this survey with respect toattain its outlined aims and objectives. It has therefore represented three of its major intents asstated below-2
Concept of organisational structure and cultureForrow and et.al. (2012) have stated organisational structure and culture to be the twoleading terms in an establishment that envisions a long term probability of success. It is wherethe structure defines the hierarchical structuring of the venture with relation to depict theirconsiderable size and other quantifiable terms. Culture is however stated to address the workingsurrounds of a workplace in terms of canvassing a relative interest of the workforce as mentionedby Harper (2015). He has also stated some major forms of an organisational structure where mostof the establishments mainly works in either a functional or divisional set of work. Martin andet.al. (2012) with a contradictory sense have stated that an adopted organisational structure inturn designs the culture of the workplace and thereby acts as a guiding approach at theworkplace. Their exists some affiliated organisational culture such as a role, task, power orperson culture, etc., and out of which, most of the companies refers to work within two leadingapproaches of role, task and power culture. Factual relationship between organisational structure and culturePetkova (2016) have addressed a factual relationship between these terms where both areinterdependent on one another. It is mainly with reference to the dependable nature of oneanother where an organisational structure tends to decide the culture of the workplace.Psacharopoulos (2014) with a contrary perspective have stated that the adopted set of culture is adependent clause where it is entirely relied upon the organisational structure. This is however arealistic scenario that has ultimately proved them to be two interlinked clauses where both ofthem are conditional on one other.Influential means of this factor that directly impacts upon the business performanceAn adopted set of organisational structure and culture is considered to make a directimpact on the business performances of the ventures as explicated by Skaggs and Galli-Debicella(2012). It is mainly due to their leading influential means where both of them will firstly make asignificant impact on the behavioural consent of the workforces. Tracy (2012) with anotherreflective sense have declared that an optimistic culture along with a collaborative structure ofwork will definitely result into some substantial outcomes. It is where the solicitous entities willhereby acquire certain positive measures of enhanced productivity with an augmented marketshares, sales and revenues in the market which will consequently benefit all their affiliatedstakeholders with an increased ratio of profitability.3
1.4This is to fundamentally define the adopted methodology of investigating the electedsubject matter with some below mentioned tools that will in turn aid the researcher tosystemically conduct the survey. Research design- The current investigation hereby depicts a descriptive study which is basedupon a general subject matter of organisational structure and cultural (Venkatesh, Brown andBala, 2013). These are the two premise compositions of each and every corporation that in turnreflect their entire work prospectives. Research approach- The present study have defined an inductive approach of carrying out thestudy by the investigator where it will be easy to apply the specific context of the elected topicon a generalised context of other correspondent companies (Taylor, Bogdan and DeVault, 2015).Data collection- The recent survey have opted for both the measures of primary and secondaryaggregation of data. In which, the primary method is usually done with a direct approach ofinterviewing the responders via a designed set of questionnaire (Shoghi, Ghobadi and Habibi,2013). The secondary data however opts for another approach of gathering the subsistinginformation via online sites, books and journals.Sampling- The present research have opted for a selective zone of 5 managers from ASDAenterprise that has depicted a purposive sample distribution (Tuckman and Harper, 2012).Data analysis- The present report have opted for a qualitative analysis of data with well-definedformation of themes. Ethical issues- A researcher at the time of making an investigation faces various type of issueswhere a primary concern is to maintain the private consent of the amassed information. This ismainly with reference to use some tactful measures by which any third party cannot assess thecollected set of data without any prior permission of its major involved parties (Petty, Thomsonand Stew, 2012). Another ethical concern is to conduct a moralised and philosophical surveywith authentic sources of data. A primary data collection however depicts a genuine formatwhere a direct approach is usually being used by the researcher. Whereas, the investigator is alsoaccountable for referring to some trustworthy sources of internet while attempting a secondarydata collection.1.5Key ActivitiesWeekWeekWeekWeekWeekWeekWeekWeek 10Week 114
