2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Types, size and scope of organizations
The size type and scope of organizations can be identified as one of the major aspect
having strong profound impact upon companies functional structure and operational innovation
widely. Size and scope also fundamentally develop new profound impact on financial goals
within revenue parameters and also to avail larger efficacy among vision oriented paradigms.
Profit and not for profit are the main types of organization within structure aspects which bring
on keen efficacy at scope, also new developed domains imperatively.
As per the views of Vo, Nguyen aand Vu(2020), profit organizations have the main goal
for making profit within professional targets in revenue goals and also to be optimistically
expanding its reach into varied domains imperatively. The profit organizations are wider with

competitive working aspects for bringing on up scaled networks within global industry and also
for framing new profound functional standards within larger arenas profoundly. Profit
organization bring on innovative products and services among public expanded on varied
scenarios, where example: Tesco is one of the largest profit making organization whose goals
are also correlated with new profound scope based on longer scale.
Author further brings forward research based on contrast aspects where non profit
companies have been also identified as another structural organization whose goal are related to
bringing change within society. The non profit business companies have less profit and capital
expansion focus, where main imperative ideal goal is toward developing keen position
networked on larger new keen services for bringing change among people living aspects. The
non profit companies have less expansion among commercial aspects,as vision is based on
developing creative functional goals broadly and also for formation of new range of fundamental
quest goals.
2.2 Size-number of employees
As per the views of RAO (2020), size and number of employees are the most important
aspect where company size structure aspect bring on new profound diverse aspects and also
potentially bring on expansion among keen horizons of work goal targets. The author analyses
first micro businesses as start ups who employ only small number of people usually fewer than
10 people and also capital is limited which impacts on wider expansion vision which is also
limited. The small number of employees is micro where operations are also variably limited,
which is also widely focused on factor that business goals have no growth scope due to limited
capital structural diversity. Author has also identified in research that small companies are
organization where around 20 employees work in management which makes structure wider
than micro companies. Small companies have been widely increasing in global industry
parameters where the number of employees are focused on small scale business operations,
with panned capital structure and informative development scope horizons.
As noted by Belás, Belás and Rózsa (2019), size, number and scope of companies
enables to identify varied business goals targets at frame for encompassing identified functional
goals variably and also primitively develop new technical fundamental focus among corporate
identified structure. The author also has explained varied aspects of differences within size,
structure and number of employees for greater enhanced functional strengths. Size of public

companies have varied scope horizons on which, new creative efficacy has been identified
fundamentally and also there is leverage goals for which functional scope is wide. The size and
scope of companies profound stable growth is variedly large for technical expansion, primitive
growth goals and larger scope horizons also enhance functional growth variably.
2.3 Ownership
As per the views of Aggarwal, Mittal and Rasheed (2019), ownership within companies
have strong role within functional paradigms on which larger scale domains have been
analysed, to yield on corporate expansion, capital development and also up scale functional
targets. Sole traders can be understood as individual businesses where they are run and operated
by single people having legal distinction and functional scope horizons. Sole traders are the sole
risk bearers of all resources, management aspects and also for developing informative goals
widely for functional scope horizons. Partnership can be analysed as formal arrangements
between parties to functionally expand within new domains and also up scale performance
horizons widely.
As noted byBelás, Belás and Rózsa (2019), private limited company can be analysed as
companies whose size are wide in capital structure range, shares have only fundamental reach
among shareholders who hold priorities within revenue targets among sales aspects, and also
enhanced business innovation. The author has identified that private companies have varied
scope of diversity and enhanced working goals widely, then they can be compared with public
companies whose shares have varied scope, and they are open for public to invest in which
makes its scope widely expanded. The private companies have been identified as majorly
focusing on new horizons for up scaled targets and new domains of efficacy goals imperatively.
The public companies on other hand have been identified as varied new scope domains on
which innovation and capital revenue targets goodwill enable business horizons to be expanded
on wider levels for consumers goodwill.
