TASK 2: Organisational structure of new company AB
An organisation structure is a term which clearly established a
framework from top manger to the lower manger. This structure is form
so that employee could know to whom to report and how many
departments are there in an organisation. Here activities are being
directed towards achieving the goals.
In the above structure it is been noted that after the merger of company
A and B, the new structure will be three level of manger, the top level,
middle level and the lower level.
Top Level: Top level managers are those who will responsible for
making plans, policies and procedure for the working of the
organisation.
Middle level: The middle level is those departments which are
responsible for whole working. They act as a linkage between top level
and lower level.
Lower level: They are those people who actually watches the
performance and make sure that production is been done.
This theory explains the organisational
structure of the company. A proper
hierarchy is being designed to tell
employee who is their supervisor and
who are the subordinate. In this theory
more importance is given to Authority.
