an organisation’s strategy and operations
The primary goal of an organisation is to achieve the different range of goals and
objectives for a particular a m that is to improve sustainability in the market and also to
enhance market share. it has been observed that reading with changes is the only way to do so
for an organisation like Marks and Spencer and the reason that came in front is continuous
improvement and competitiveness in the market. In order to identify the impact of change on
an organisation’s strategy and operations there is a comparison that has been undertaken in
two major competitors (Marks and Spencer and John Lewis Partnership) of the market is
performed underneath:
Basis Marks & Spencer John Lewis Partnership
Structure Circle organisational structure
is specifically being taken into
consideration by Marks and
Spencer in order to conduct
different functions and
activities linking with the
operations (Groen, 2017 ).
John Lewis basically uses
hieratical structure while
operating business among
different areas. With the help
of this, John Lewis partnership
management become able to
successfully communicate all

The particular structure carries
a range of stages and divided
based on the work and
objectives which are
formulated by the organisation
there tasks are performed
accordingly in order to achieve
that particular goal. The
categories are divided in three
different segments and these
are top, lower and middle
level, which helps the
management of Marks and
Spencer to take right decisions
in correct time which can be
implemented by the
organisation in much effective
and efficient manner. This also
helps in taking quick decisions
because departments are
divided among three different
levels which helps

Strategies It is much needed for Marks
and Spencer to bring changes
within the structure, because it
is may be possible that this
organisation may not get
effective results for a longer
period of time if they do not
bring modifications in the
existing structure. It has been
observed that, bringing
modifications within the
existing structure that has been
considered by Marks and
Spencer, organisation may
effectively reduction among
different problems like
conflicts among individuals
John Lewis, which is a
competitor of Marks and
Spencer it can be said that
there will be no requirement of
making any sort of alterations
among the existing structure
that has been undertaken by
company because it was
already delivering appropriate
results to the management
(Shoval and Sharir, 2019 ).
However, there will be a need
of delivering training sessions
to staff members for their own
betterment and for improving
bi existing productivity and
profitability level.
