TASK 1
P1) Compare different organisational example where there has been an impact of change on an
organisation strategy and operations
The structure of an organisation is the most vital aspect for the growth and development
of the business. An organisational structure defines the working standards of a company that has
been followed in order to accomplish certain level of goals and objectives (Allen, 2018). There is
a lot of businesses that has performed its functions and operation in order to achieve more
success. In this all the companies has faces different issues while operating its functions as in this

balanced level of modifications and advancement is induced by which better action plan is
developed as in terms of initiation of tools and techniques. It assist the business to resolve all the
complexity with more suitability as it also make easier to achieve standardised objectives.
In order to attain long term sustainability it is essential to manage and operate functions
with support of business environment in which both positive and negative aspects is considerate
in effective mode (Benton, 2018). In relation to NATS it has control air traffic and handles 2.2
million flights with 220 million passenger and an average of 6000 flights over a year. The
company has provide services to 14 airports along with more then 30 countries as by covering
Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America. They have faces challenges as by managing the
air traffic as there is an unprecedented change from few years. The increased competition
reduces the national dependency as it is bounded with the prospect of Air navigation Service
Provider. On the other hand National rail is moved 3 million people to its destinations and also
transfer thousand tonnes of goods all around Britain. The rail network also faces more challenges
as its responsibilities has been increases on other lack of investment turn into higher cost by
which public confidence has been reduces. The comparison in between the two is as explained

processed while improving the
infrastructure as its rail is covering
the distance from Edinburgh
