Business Organisation Structures Report - October 2020

This report provides a comprehensive overview of business organisation structures across various sectors, including private, public, and voluntary. It begins by defining and differentiating these sectors, providing examples like Tesco, Syngenta, and the NHS. The report then analyzes the purpose and functional areas of two specific businesses: Tesco and Syngenta, focusing on key areas like finance, human resources, sales and marketing, and research and development. Furthermore, it examines the organizational structures of Syngenta and Capco, comparing their hierarchical (tall) and flat structures, delegation, and spans of control. The advantages and disadvantages of a functional structure, as adopted by Syngenta, are also discussed. The report concludes with a reference page containing sources used in the research.
