Business organisation refers to an entity settled for the intention of carrying out an
mercantile organisation. Such an organisation is foreseen on systems of law governing contract
and other associated exchanges, organisational business and property rights and their efficient
incorporation (Alves and Feitosa, 2020). Business organisation mainly describes the and depicts
the structure of the organisation. The structure of the organisation aids the employees and other
associated organisational leaders such as manager to lead a systematic ad structured
organisational objectives efficiently (Bala and Verma, 2018). Withal, organisation are framed
and efficiently operates with the the maximum emphasis on the generation of maximum
fecundity within the marketplace. In addition, they gain fecundity with utmost growth of the
organisation. This aids in gaining good reputation within the society with renown value (Boon
and et. al., 2019). These organisation tends to alter and renovate the innovative ideologies with

business goals. This report mainly entails the merits and the demerits of a business along with
their contrast and comparison among flat and tall framework of the business. Further, this

and the people. Additionally, the report discusses the positive influences and the culture of the

MAIN BODY
Sole trader mainly depicts the sole proprietors which refers to a well-organised business
which is well brought off by an individual. For example- Mogford Hotel, the owner of this
organisation is majorly responsible for all the fecundities and the losses accompanied with
reduction and deduction of tax. Advantages of sole traders is that the bourgeois or entrepreneur
do not bound by any individual and are free to alter their legal structure according to the
situations and their wishes according to their business growth (Bruwer, 2019). It requires a low
investment cost and organisational owner to bear all the organisational losses and fecundity.
Likewise the demerit of the sole traders entails the challenges to search and retain the high
1

skilled employees within the organisation which is the main asset for growth and success of the
organisation. It gets difficult for the organisation to to render additional money to incline the
business by themselves. Moreover, all losses and associated debts are bear by the owner of the
organisation solely.
Partnership is the business type of arrangement that is associated with two parties or
associated organisations who mutually takes decisions and other sign agreements to efficiently
operate the business with mutual efforts by effectively sharing the losses and the fecundity
according to the percentage of shares being decided. For example D Fusion. In business,
partnership relation majorly allows two individual to share their ownership, they become mutual
partners and divides their fecundity and the liability on the basis of shares. Both parties mutually
manages the organisation and work together with the intention to generate maximum potential
revenues and make appropriate and known reputation in the market. Merits of mutual
relationship entails; equal distribution of responsibilities and roles, associated fecundity, work,
risk management and extra capital investment became easy (Deepak and Jeyakumar, 2019).
Disadvantages of partnership involves possibilities of fraud in work, conflict between partners of
the organisation, autonomy loss, distribution of control and shares with others. Additionally,
limited liability and additional lack of stability within the organisational business.
Limited company majorly entails organisation type that all the profits and the losses
which are limited to the stakeholders. For example- Park Holiday, this is a legal structure which
ensures the liability of business subscribers is constricted to their investment adding to allegiance
in organisation. Some advantages of limited organisation is opportunities to maximise the
fecundity, their investment, and minimise the personal liability and separate their legal entity.
Demerits of limited organisation is that specific organisation have very limited rights to add
more revenue to business (Garg and et. al., 2021). Additionally, there is no differentiated legal
status and other possibilities of differences, losses and associated inclined disputes.
Tall and flat structure is the organisational structure which entails both merits and
demerits that is based on their nature. Tall structures are generally perpendicular form and flat
structures exist in inclined form. Organisation such as Mogford Hotel are small scale and prefer
more flat structure as they exist in horizontal form because there lies small number of employees
and lack management. Apart from this factor, organisation who intends large scale capacity such
as hospital like Park Holiday, they tend to prefer using tall structure where there is multi
2

management level with a CEO, other associated board members and the directors who are
presented to handle more big chain of command due to complexity involved in the business
operation and it requires huge workforce for effective wok environment (Glebovskiy, 2019). In
addition, the start up hospitalities and other trading organisations generally promotes flat
structure with short chain command, this entails very less number of employees and one manager
and constricted management.
Flat structure is comparatively less complex than the tall structure. This entails limited
employees which is required to report one manager, on the contrary, the tall structure entails
many employees who have to report to the manager about the dedicated department. In flat
structure, employees can efficiently work autonomously as they only have one manager and are
generally very skilled in their efficiencies and are educated. When a single manager tries to
control the employees, this may create conflicts and this may worsen the case due to lack of
accountability and appropriate guidances. On the contrary, the tall structure majorly entails less
skilled and unskilled employees who work according to the demands provides by the supervisor
(Lee, 2022). In addition, this enhances the fecundity and growth of the hospitality due to the
appropriate guidance and control of the business.
Marketing mainly refers to the most critical events which associates to the
advertisements and related promotions of the goods and the services. These events are conducted
and organised with an intention of promoting and trading their services with goods to large
number of consumers. For example, Park Holiday marketing techniques encouraged by the
manager of the organisation majorly puts a great emphasis on the influences to the organisation.
This in addition, assists the employees to gain knowledge about the new advanced technologies
and associated contemporary trends within the market of the business to prove to be beneficial
for their workings and in inclining the hospitality services which supplies good fecundity, incline
market share, consumer base is enhanced and bring forth organisational hospitality.
Human resource management is the important approach which is efficacious and
efficient in management of Park Holiday. This aids in gaining more profit and opportunities to
enjoy the competitive benefits (Metallo and et. al., 2018). Managerial events of HR impacts the
performances and fecundity of the employees positively do that they bring forth organisational
value. HR management is a crucial role in organisation as it aids in building up strong relation
with other hiring associations and efficiently recruits employees ho would bring forth required
3

workforce within the organisation in right direction. It also controls the performances of the
employees which aids in deducting cost and time which is responsible to enhance the quality
services (Turner, 2022).
Customer services entails an organisational department which directly interact to the
consumers with the main intention of solving issuances and respond to their services. For
example Park Holiday, the management impacts the events of the consumer services as ths
informs the employees about the very failure with accomplishment of services supplied by the
them. This in addition, serves as a feedback that is important for evolving the employees
performances. This also guides and assists the organisation to make effective decisions about the
investment area and the divestment to accomplish the known and markable growth within the
business market (Rana and et. al., 2022).
Organisational culture entails the investigation of codes of ethics, associated
assumptions, organisational expectations, and other associated moral values, cultures and beliefs
which efficiently guides the employee's behaviour by serving for the organisation. With this the
management have opportunities to foster their talented employees for fulfilling the goals and
objectives of the organisation in same direction. Organisational culture is very significant in the
business workforce as this bring forth feeling of unity and harmony among the employees so that
they perform their tasks effectively within the organisation. This also builds strong kinship with
the other team members and inclines business fecundity. Management staff of Park Holiday
encourages to manage their event and associated activities from room services to reception area
and from HR management to consumer services (Rye, 2020). Good performances enhances the
organisation to boost up their major role of working with other employees efficiently. This
makes them feel confident, encouraged and motivated and aid them to attain heights of desired
objectives and goals (Stone and et. al., 2020). This enhances the better interaction with other
employees so that they acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of their subordinates. The
capability and skills of the employees aids the manager to assigns task on the basis of their
calibre and efficient skills to ease the difficulties in accomplishing the task on given time. Good
culture in an organisation aids in boosting up management fecundity, their performances and
attain their longevity of business within the business market and their desired goals (Saint-Ges,
2021).
