LITERATURE REVIEW
Importance of globalisation on corporate structures of Lewis & Partners
According to the viewpoint of Sutcliffe, and Glyn, (2019), globalisation has changed the

structure, functional structure and global matrix structure. Functional structure groups
individuals into functional departments such as marketing, operations, R&D, finance, etc.
divisional structure is defined as dividing into sub types such as global product division structure
and global geographic division structure. The product division within the Lewis & Partners is
responsible for global operations in particular product area in global product structure. The
division manager of this company is responsible for various organisational functions like
organising, planning and controlling different functions for producing and distributing products
for any market in the world. Global product structure is grateful for managing different activities

of the company. The changing managerial role within global organisation is present. While
working at global level, the different roles that organisation has to play include allowing people

Ways for overcoming issues of globalisation over business activities of an organisation
associated with the structure
From the views of Cinquanta (2019), Globalisation is a term which describe how various
countries, people and businesses across the global are connected to each other in various ways
such as technology, transportation, good and services in the atmosphere. Their are different
structure format in the organisation which have some difficulty in conducting the activities at all
the levels of the organisation. Their are various problem in the architecture of the organisation
structure which needs to be taken care in the companies like solving the communication across
