1MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS CONTEXT
Introduction
Businesses primarily need to constantly focus on change and improvement to sustain in
dynamic environments. The competence of an organization to position suitable business
procedures necessitate that a fit connecting business developments and systems that sustain the
supervision of these processes tend to maintain the supervision of these processes is constantly
maintained and developed (Wirtz et al., 2016). Moreover, achievement and use of knowledge
regarding the context whereby business processes are distinct, outlined and executed can assist in
maintaining such a fit. The following paper will analyse five articles which have focused on
varied contexts in business management and highlight the strengths and weaknesses of five
articles.

Organizational Structure and Governance

Hybrid organizations which aims to mix elements, value systems in addition to action
logics of various sectors of society which are public, private and voluntary sectors. Mair, Mayer
and Lutz (2015) of this article have claimed the way majority of hybrid organizations involve
range of stakeholders and follow various conflicting goals by engaging them in highly unsteady
activities. The primary aim of Mair, Mayer and Lutz (2015) relied on focusing on the changeable

organizations tend to merge with several logics by focusing specifically on organizational
governance. To understand varying understanding of role of hybrid organization in focusing on
organizational structure and governance, the authors have conducted a survey based on 70 social
enterprises. However, in the initial step the authors have drawn comparisons of use of
governance practices across organizations. The paper can be sited as a comprehensive one, as it
offered inclusive insights of the way social organizations which fail to distinguish commercial as
well as social welfare logic are likely to merge elements offered by those logics or modernize by
approving new governance practices by the commercial or social welfare logic. Mair, Mayer and
Lutz (2015) through their findings have mentioned that conforming hybrids tend to shed light on
structure and activities associated with either social wellbeing or commercial logic. One of the
major strengths of the articles lies on the way, evaluation of three organizational cases have
claimed that nonconforming hybrids challenge governance practices which have been
implemented by analysis of logic in relation to board structures.

Amis et al. (2018) have noted that modern organizations which function in regular market
are significantly influenced in the elevating levels of global inequality. Drawing relevance to
such a factor, Amis in their paper have focused on strategies of social structures for the free
