PART 1
Introduction
Unilever is one of the leading as well as recognised organisation which operates and
transacts their business in the consumer goods industry. The headquarter of UK is established in
London,United Kingdom. Major revenue for the organisation is earned from the food and
beverage section that increases profits for the firm in short intervals. Moreover, they also
produce cleaning agents, personal care and beauty products that increases market share for the
products. In the last, Unilever is one of the oldest multi-national organisation that operates their
business in more than 190 countries (Corbacioglu and Kapucu, 2006). Along with this they own
and offer more than 400 brands to the customer’s. In the present scenario, Unilever operates their
business among four different division which are personal care, home care, food and
refreshment.
Organisation structure
Organisation structure refer to all those activities that are involved in the organisation for
achieving goals and objectives of the organisation. The main aim to develop an effective
organisational structure is to perform the functions and operations of Unilever in effective
manner. An organisational structure is categorise into various factors that includes matrix, line,

divisional and many more. In the context of organisation structure Unilever implements line and
staff organisation structure for enhancing the overall productivity of the organisation. This
results it is easy for management of Unilever to sustain for longer period in the market. Some of
the organisation structure are mention as below:
Matrix structure- This kind of the organisation structure leads the management to
perform their role in effective manner. As the reporting relationship in matrix organisational
structure are rigid in nature. This works as the management of organisational management in
which employee's related with same skill are grouped together in order to complete their work in
effective manner (Eriksson and Kadefors, 2017). Moreover, a manager to monitor the functions
of organisation is selected by top authority of Unilever, to whom all employee's report their day
to day operations.
Divisional structure- In the divisional structure of the organisation, there are various
functions are performed by management that relates with a particular division on product as well
as geographic basis. M-form is the another name of organisation of divisional structure because
it is related with various multi-divisional structure. One of the major advantage to implement
respective organisation structure is to make changes in one company. So this results the failure or
success of one company is related with one department only as it negative effects does not
impact on other departments of a similar organisation. In context of Unilever, this works as one
of major advantage for the company.
Flat structure- Most of the organisation which operates their business at small or initial
level follows flat organisational structure as they has low number of projects. Along with this
under flat structure, employee's of all levels are able to easily communicate with the managers
and top authorities of organisation (Lord and et. al., 2015). But Unilever is operating their
business at global level so it is complex for the management to implement and follow flat
organisational structure, because top authorities need to make more crucial decisions rather than
solving employee's queries and small issues.
Line structure- It is one of the most simplest form of organisational structure. The line
structure follows in a vertical flow. This governs that all the instruction are make by authorities
and it flows form the top position to the below position. Moreover, in the line structure superior
make order for subordinates. It results that chain of command is developed in the Unilever, this
results it is easy for management to make discipline in the organisation at a large level.
