TASK 1
P1. Explain different types and purposes of organisations; public, private and voluntary sectors
and legal structures.
Meaning of a Business Organisation:
A business organisation for the term business organisation is defines the structure and
objectives of a company. Basically the term business organisation describes the structure and the
pathway of a company which helps it to meet all the predetermined objectives and goals. In
general businesses are designed and created with a focus on two particular aspects that is of
earning profits and moving towards growth or improving the society and spreading awareness in
people and making the world a better place. Therefore, numerous types and categories of
business organisations are present in the market according to their structure and the objectives.
Various types of business organisations are defined below with appropriate examples.
Types of Business Organisation:

 Sole Traders are also known as sole proprietors which are a legal setup where the
business is owned and controlled by a single person and the individual is not separate
from the business. That means the individual running a sole proprietorship holds
personally liable for all aspects of the business including finances and other risks. Any
profit that is earned by different business activities belongs to the business owner along
with it all the debts and risks are also bear by the owner as well (Alotaibi, 2016).
 Partnerships are a business arrangement and Enterprises owned by two or more people.
The relationship between the partners is governed and regulated by partnership
agreement which specifically defines the scope and structure of the partnership along
with specifying the respective responsibilities for each partner. In the partnership
agreement the terms are involved in relation with the profit sharing ratio and distribution
system, investment obligations of each partner and also the loss sharing ratio. For
establishing a partnership at least two parties are necessary.
 Private Sector organisation are often small privately held businesses who are limitedly
liable by shares as the business is small and privately-owned therefore only small number
of shareholders around 50 in the united kingdoms are associated with the entity. Along
with a private entity is not allowed to trade their shared publicly and cannot list their
shares on any stock exchange. For example, TESCO
 Public Sector Organisation are limited liability companies who are allowed to sell and
trade their shares freely in the stock market with the help of any appropriate stock
exchange available and they are also subject to minimum capital requirements £50,000 in
the United Kingdom. a publicly owned organisation is responsible for filing their
financial returns and financial records every 12 months and in United Kingdom it is very
important that the businesses have their trading certificate from Companies House before
trading the shares and “PLC” has to be included in their name. For example British
Airways Plc (Springer and Cham.Hillary, 2017).
 Not for Profit Organisation are those companies which are set up with the purpose that
is not related with financial gain and earning profit as the name suggest. The not for
profit organisations are differentiated from profit organisations on the basis of their
primary agenda of bringing change in public by benefiting the society and not generating
private profits from the business. For example, Transparent Hands

 Non Governmental Organisation are most commonly known as NGO that operate
independently from the state or government. The NGOs or non governmental
organisation still receive money from the state but they operate without representation
from the government. The World Bank has identified non-governmental organisations
into two to separate groups known as operational NGO and advocacy NGO. For example,
NCVO.

TASK 2
P3. Explain the relationship between different organisational functions and how they link to
organisational objectives and structure.
Meaning of Organisational Structure:
An organisational structure refers to a system that highlights the ways certain activities are
directed and conducted in a business setup for achieving the goals and objectives and moving
towards growth. It also determines the flow of information in the business between different
levels present within the company (Virglerova, Dobes and Vojtovic, 2016).
Types of Organisational Structures:
 Functional Structure is organisational structure which is useful in organising and
controlling workers as they are grouped according to their specific knowledge and skills.
It is designed vertically that each department with specific roles are assigned for one
product or service.

 Divisional Structure is a type of structure that groups each function into a division and
each division contains all the necessary resources and functions within it to support the
specific product line or the operation that is geographical separated.
 Matrix Structure is a combination of functional structure and divisional structure
uniting these structures to provide a balance to the company. In matrix organisational
structure there are two change of command and the teams needs to report to two
managers or bosses (Guo-rong, 2018).

Types of International Organisational Structures:
 Global Company Structure all primary design to organise the global operations based
on separate functions product orientation is considered secondary buy the form using
global function division structure. The complexity arises is to manage the multiple
product lines as a production and marketing are not integrated.
 Multinational Company Structure portraits structure of a single company which is
established by a treaty and governed by international aspects of compliance.
 Transactional Company Structure is divided according to the allocation of resources
as the goal and motive of the entity is to comply with the strategic elements of globally.
Management structure of Tesco:

Functions of Tesco and their interrelationships with other functional units and company’s
objectives:
Tesco is a multinational organisation holding several functional units specific objectives
that contributes to the ultimate objective of the company and make it a success along with
helping it in moving towards growth and expansion. There are numerous functions in Tesco
which are interrelated with each other and to the company’s objective (Hamilton and Webster,
2018).

 Marketing Function is a team that is present in Tesco focusing towards spreading
awareness in market about the offerings of Tesco as a supermarket and as a retailer. The
objective of marketing department of Tesco is to enhance the brand awareness and image
in the minds of targeted audience and attracts the largest amount of customers. These
objectives of the marketing department contribute towards the sales targets of Tesco and
therefore interrelate with the sales department.
 Human Resource Function of Tesco is responsible for bringing the best and the most
expert talent in the company for conducting different activities according to the skill sets
and according to the requirements of the organisation. the Human resource Department is
interrelated with all different operational units of Tesco as the people are the one who
execute all the plans and takes Organisation towards its objectives (Hillary, 2017).

objectives of Tesco is interrelated as the company make appropriate use of the financial
resources with the help of the team as the finance department is responsible for allocating
appropriate budgets to other departmental units and also for developing annual records
according to the accounting guidelines.
TASK 3
P4. Identify the positive and negative impacts the macro environment has upon business
operations, supported by specific examples.
The Macro environment of an organisation refers to the external factors and influential
elements that are existing in the business surrounding which has a large influence over the
company’s operations and decision making. The PESTLE analysis framework is considered as
the best tool for identifying the positive and its negative impacts macro environment has over the
business operations. The external environment analysis of Tesco if conducted with the help of
PESTLE as well as these factors are considered the key drivers of change leading to describe the
opportunities and threats in context of the business (Hilton and Platt, 2018).
 Political- The Company is operating in more than 12 to 15 countries of large market that
leaves it exposing too many political factors that can affect the operations and objectives.

The European Union referendum is becoming a risk factor for investors in Tesco which is
imposing a negative impact on the business. Along with it the unstable government in the
United Kingdom is also improving a threat for the company political issues that are rising
due to it.
 Economic- The current economy of the world is suffering due to the outbreak of
coronavirus and as Tesco is a UK based organisation the company also have to face the
negative economic implications of BREXIT that recently took place. Therefore it is
implied that economic factors are also not in favour of Tesco as the domestic market that
is the United Kingdom is facing to economic crisis in the current scenario which is
affecting the business and profit margins of Tesco.
 Social- The consumer shopping trends are constantly changing and becoming dynamic
over the period. it is becoming very difficult for Tesco to identify and determine the
buying behaviour of people. These fluctuating shopping trends and the rapidly changing
demands for goods and services by the customers is making Tesco to face several
problems.
 Technological- The digitalisation and technological advancement brought several new
opportunities for Tesco in relation with improving their customer services and enhancing
the trust of consumers in the brand. The technological factor imposes positive impact on
the business of Tesco as in current scenario as well where almost the whole world is
under lock down due to coronavirus it is easy for Tesco to be connected with the
customers and conduct their business activities of retailing easy. The technological and
digital devices provided Tesco and opportunity to take safety initiatives and to be close to
customers by providing them everything on their doors steps in humans by just few clicks
(Johnson, 2015).
 Legal- In a business legal environment and factor focuses over the areas where changes
law and which can affect the business performance and its objectives. Currently the legal
structure and system of United Kingdom is not stable as the political parties and
government is not stable due to the result of BREXIT. The laws are regularly changing
and the new laws are becoming very difficult for companies like Tesco to impose because
of the complexities and uncertainty of results. So, the legal factor also does not impose
any positive impact on the business of Tesco.

 Environmental- The new external factor that is recently identified and imposing huge
influence over businesses is of environmental elements. This is a positive factor for the
company because Tesco is committed two renewable resources and working towards
generating hundred percent of its electricity for running the business. Along with it Tesco
also promised to reduce their carbon footprint by 50% at the end of 2020. Tesco is also
increasing its consumers to shop with digital means for saving huge cost and time and the
Van drivers who are delivering the goods to people are motivated and strictly instructed
to only use fuel saving routes for making deliveries. As well as these drivers are also
instructed for collecting any unwanted plastic bags from customers for recycling it.

and weaknesses.

influential weakness of Tesco. In recent
years Tesco expanded its business
operations to US and Japan but now
these stores are shut down as a
company was not able to export their
operations and execute their plants
effectively in international waters..
 In 2018 Tesco suddenly changed its
club card without any information to
its customers which make them very
furious and unhappy from the
organisation. As the company is
dealing in Retail industry it is not a
good sign that the customers are not
happy and it's easy for them to switch

for shopping.
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
 By looking at the current situation of
the world economy and more
importantly of the United kingdom the
largest opportunity that is available in
front of Tesco is of alliance with other
brands. The company has been
partnering with other brands which

businesses and as well as on Tesco. The
main threat arises because in European
