TASK 1: IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS PROCESSES.
1.1 Organization chart and culture
Organization Chart for the Current Structure of Triples:
The Functional organizational chart merges the straight line department and then the
command of the line organization in a vertical view representing functional authority.
Further it is been divided into the sub heads. For example: The Human Resource department
contains the HR offices and the team leader (Danis, De Clercq and Petricevic, 2011). They
have the authority to hire and fire workers. Therefore, they cannot give directives on
production or marketing matters.
Company’s Culture is linked To Its Functional Structure:
TripleS have a functional company structure. This construction has two characteristic:
hierarchy and function-based explanation. The hierarchy attribute refer to the vertical lines of
departments, command and authority throughout the organizational structure. For example,
except for the general head, every worker has a superior and they are divided into different
departments (Bohle and Quinlan, 2007). Leading and authorization comes from the top levels

organizational structure pertain departments of employees accomplishing their certain
functions. For example, TripleS has a department for the function of human resource
management (HRM). The company also has a department for the function of finance and
accounts, and another department for the function of marketing (Robertson. and Robertson,
2006). These are just some of the many functional departments in TripleS organizational
structure.

corporate managers to easily influence the full organization.

business practices because of the extended communications.

involved in the company:
The interrelationship between the different function and the processes involved in the
company is that the employee can end up with departments which make it easy to handle
workers. An employee of TripleS may work in their department to department that relate to
one particular function.

designing to strategy execution. Moreover, it Increases worker's morale and modify retention.

engaged employees and rise in retention rates.

goal setting process, and employees are the proprietor of the process. In TripleS, Managers
and the entire executive team becomes a part of the system to help each worker to work for
that objective. This in turn helps the company in full engagement of the manpower and
promoting every employee across the organization in centering and successfully attaining
