M1: You need to explain how the structure, scope and size reflects on objectives of a firm
The micro enterprises will only be doing their business in a limited area and many of them are also
not having any intention to grow further their only main aim is survive in this market. They are many
different types of firms that are there in the market micro enterprise market.
Small and medium size enterprise will only be doing their business in a particular city or in a
particular region. Their main objective is to grow more and more by earning their profit and through this
they will be able to develop themselves to the large enterprise. Another one of their objective is that they
can make sure that they fully utilizing their resources.

complicated structure (Bhandari and et. al, 2021). This is showing that the main objective of the large
industry is that they want to capture the market share and expand themselves more and more
D1: You need to explain the complexities of different structures and in different sectors and their
impact on objectives
The complexity is based on the number of task or the number of the resources that they are having.
In the micro size industry the number of complexity that they will be having is very less due to the fact that
their organisational structure will be very simple and they also don't have that much resources with them.
Their complexity also reduces due to the fact that they are not having any paperwork.
The small and medium enterprises are having a little complexity as they have got much m,ore resources
than the micro enterprise and they are also having a little complex structure. They also need to do some
paperwork regarding their working.
The large enterprise are having complex structure and they are also having abundance in their resources
and for their working they require high paperwork (Benoot and et. al., 2020). Their complexity is having a
huge impact on their objectives as they have to set the objectives likewise so that they can achieve it.
