structure and fulfilling organisational strategy.
The organisational design theory provide clear structure that is formulated with the better
support of rules and procedure that is followed by each and every individual so that productive
working is attained in timely basis. There are some different theory of organisational design that
is needed and used to analyse and ensure that organisation must have use the different structure
to work within the company (De Mauro, 2018). These design has been followed up to manage
the organisational strategy under which appropriate strategies get managed and implement in
systematic format and some of theories in context to design are as defined below as:
Traditional organisational theory: It is a theory that is based on the bureaucratic style
and in this leader of Tesco provide appropriate guidance and direction to its subordinates by
which they have perform their function in better and efficient manner under which perfect work

is processed. As per the context of this theory the matrix structure get followed by Tesco and
according to this lower and middle level employees have performed their duties as per the
guidelines of higher level management. It is a structure that is usually used within the large
organisation such as Tesco, Marks and Spencer Aston Martin, Tesla etc. and it is due to the fact
that employee performed certain function as per the uniform flow of information and with this
suitable decision making get managed and controlled (García Lillo, 2018).
It has vital importance over the working of Tesco as in support of traditional organisation
theory higher management provides appropriate guidance to its subordinates by which work is
completed with not only perfection but within the stipulated period of time as well. A selective
information is transmitted with the support of adequate channel thus in this employee
encouragement and involvement is increases by which goals and standardised objectives is
achieved in timely basis. The organisation design is much important for the business and in this
communication level within the employee is increases so that innovatory outcomes is conceived
within timely basis.
Tesco follows matrix structure as in support of this management of business must have
ensure to provide clear and better level transparency so that all the goals are achieved with
flawlessness. In this Tesco has gain long term success and development as its goals are
accomplished in timely basis. Traditional theory assist each individual under which clear
information and statistics is transferred in between all the employee's. In support of this
organisational structure is getting stronger and outcome is conceived in timely frames. In
addition strategy development of Tesco also increases as in this management knows the
loopholes and working to emphasis the productivity. Thus in this effective strategy is developed
that is easily accepted and understand by the workforce by which rate of achievement of target
also increases.
Open system theory: It is a theory that is known as contemporary theory as it is based
on the concept that business environment has strong influence on the working of organisation. In
this the manager have been followed the democratic style of leadership and with this try to
influenced the working behaviour and nature of employees. In this the workers get motivated
under which the productivity and profitability of Tesco get ameliorate (Ciobanu, 2018).
It is important for Tesco as in this management uses different style of leadership and in
support of it manager provide solution of each task and activity. It improvises the working
