Topic: Holistic Therapy industry: Role of Management structure in
achievement of company’s growth
A) Introduction
Management structure defined as how an organisation manages its hierarchy. In other
words, it defines the arrangement of duties, rights, communications and lines of authority that an
enterprise follows to implement its commercials activities. Further, it explains the assignment of
roles, power and responsibilities at workplace (Murnieks, Klotz and Shepherd, 2020). Structure
followed by an organisation largely affect its success and growth so it is very important for an
organisation to follow appropriate management structure as this will ensure effective
implementation of all operations and at the same time will reduce the grounds of rising conflicts
among workers. London clinic, which is a healthcare organisation, is consider in this research.
More than 700 individuals work in clinic and organisation offer variety of health services to its
patients.
London clinic concentrate to offer best and possible care services to all its patients in order
to bring a difference in their lifestyle (de Araújo Lima, Crema and Verbano, 2020). Mission of
clinic is to offer exceptional care to its patients and also inspire all its workers to offer better
treatment. It is essential for London clinic to follow an effective management structure as with
this they can carry out all their operations in a better manner with the aim of offering quality
services to all its patients. Further, with effective management structure, clinic can build and
maintain a proper work environment which will encourage employees to work well and will
results in better care of patients.
B) Theoretical Background and research focus
Review key publications and themes
Organizational structure in a firm provides guidance to its employees through arranging the
official reporting relationship, which govern positive and systematic flow of work. A formal
outline of particular structure of a firm makes it easier for mangers to add more new positions in
workplace (Tayan, 2019). This would provide the flexible as well as ready means to achieve
successful growth. Therefore, without a formal company’s organizational structure, it may arise
difficulty for employees to whom they need to officially report of their works, especially in
1

particular situations. Along with this, it may also become unclear for staff members to
understand their roles and way to perform it. In this regard, implementation of effective
organizational structure helps a firm in improving efficiency of entire work, which further
support managers to provide clarity about roles and responsibilities to each worker, at all levels
(Oliveira and et. al., 2019). Through paying attention to development of organizational structure,
managements can work transfer information to each department on time systematically which
further lead to improve and increase productivity of business also, through which high growth
can be achieved. A thoroughly type of outlined structure also provide managers a roadmap for its
internal promotions, that allows them to create better employee appraisal plans to get their
retention for longer period of time (Edinger-Schons and et. al., 2019).
Management structure followed by an organisation contribute a lot in its success and
growth. So it is very important for an enterprise to follow right kind of structure to attain its set
goals. Structure follow by company offer guidance to all workers by define their workflow and
relationship with other elements exist at workplace (Datta, Sahaym and Brooks, 2019). Formal
structure makes it easy for organisation, to add new vacancy in the entity and also provide a
flexible structure, that help company in adopting the changes in an effective manner. One of the
main benefit of having a formal organisation structure is that it makes it easy for employees to
know to whom they need to report in various situation and this also clear the responsibility of
every worker (Cameron and Green, 2019). Further, management structure is the one that enhance
operational efficiency by offer clarity to all workers that work at various level. Another benefit
of having an effective management structure is that also provide a path for promotions which
create a positive environment at workplace and also encourage employees to perform well at
workplace. So, it is very important for London clinic to adopt an effective management structure
so that it can offer better care services to its patients and can attain its set results (Bagdadli and
Gianecchini, 2019).
There is no doubt that management structure that an organisation follows play big role in
its growth and success. It defines the flow of carry out all business activities and at the same time
clear all the roles and responsibilities of every worker. This would bring more clarify at
workplace and ensure timely completion of all business operations (Armstrong and Taylor,
2020). With effective management structure London clinic can clear all roles and responsibilities
of all workers through which it can offer better services to its patients. Further, with effective
2

management structure there will be more clarity among the employees relate with their job roles
and responsibilities which will not only ensure proper implementation of business activities but
at the same time will remove the grounds of rising conflicts at workplace among all the workers
(Al-Abrrow, Alnoor and Abbas, 2019). All this will develop a positive work environment which
will provide job satisfaction to customers and help company to retain them for long time period.
Number of management structure are there that can be adopt by London clinic in order to
carry out all its operations and to offer better care services to its customers (Murnieks, Klotz and
Shepherd, 2020). Various organisation structure can be understood by following points:
Flat organisational structure: In this organisation structure, there are only few layers of
management in which front line workers remain responsible to take decision. Under this,
information flows from top to down and from bottom to up (de Araújo Lima, Crema and
Verbano, 2020). First manager communicates with employees and then back from workers to top
management.
Tall organisational structure: This is another type of management structure in which
managers take all operational decisions and everyone require to get authority from top
management before take any action or decision (Tayan, 2019). Generally, information flows
from top to down.
Functional organisation structure: This is structure under which every portion of
enterprise is grouped as per its purpose. In these type of organisation structure various type of
department is found such as production department, marketing department, finance department
and many more (Oliveira and et. al., 2019). This type of structure is effective for small
organisation where company depend on its workers. Disadvantage associated with this
organisation structure is that there is not effective communication and coordination among the
different department due to boundaries of organisation.
Divisional organisation structure: This type of structure is mainly adopting by
organisations that operate at large level that offer variety of products and services to its
customers and work in various divisions (Edinger-Schons and et. al., 2019). One of the major
benefit of this type of organisation structure is that every division can work independently but
this type of structure is very costly and does not ensure proper cooperation among all the
employees that work in different division.
3

Matrix organisation structure: Another main type of organisation structure is matrix one
which is mainly used by multinational organisations (Datta, Sahaym and Brooks, 2019).
Drawback of this kind of structure is that sometime duplication of work takes place which
increase cost of business activities.
All these are the major type of management structures that can be adopt by organisation to
carry out their activities in timely manner and in an appropriate manner. With adoption of right
type of organisation structure, London clinic can ensure proper communication among all the
workers through which it employees can perform their job roles in an effective manner (Cameron
and Green, 2019). Further, with proper organisation structure, company can ensure optimum
utilisation all its available business resources and can offer better care services to its customers.
Therefore, before adopting any management structure, it is essential for management of
London Clinic to analyse benefits and challenges of the same, which is crucial for organisational
success. For this purpose, a research is going to conduct in present report to analyse role and
importance of management structure, for attainment of company’s growth.

C) Justification and contextualisation
Rationale of research
The main reason behind making an investigation on given topic i.e. “To determine the
impact of management structure on success and growth of an organisation”, is to analyse how
management structure differentiate a firm from other organisation, as well as help in attainment
of successful growth (Armstrong and Taylor, 2020). This would aid researchers, to increase their
knowledge regarding with management concept, so that they can engage more in studies for
making career more bright. Through this research, they can understand importance of learning
the management concept, which is essential for a learner, to professionally develop their skills
and abilities.
Reason for investigation
In order to analyse role of organisational structure, it is important to find a number of
aspect such as different type of management structure; it impact on performance at individual
and business level, including its contribution in attainment of corporate goal (Al-Abrrow, Alnoor
and Abbas, 2019). If these major concepts will not evaluate through number of research methods
such as primary and secondary resources, then it will impact directly on result in negative
manner. Therefore, these key finding points, will help in addressing the mentioned questions of
research, as well as in obtaining desired outcomes also.
Significance of research
Conducting the research on present topic which is based on organisational structure role on
increasing performance of business, contributes in building knowledge and facilitating learning
skills of research. This would prove beneficial in getting deep insight of research topic and
understanding, why it is beneficial to learn importance of management skills and associated key
knowledge for managing the business operations. Through this research, different types of
organisational structural with their benefits and challenges for a firm can easily be analysed.
Along with this, as present research will be conducted on hospitality organisation especially in
health and social care field, therefore, it also helps in analysing why it is important for such firms
to adopt appropriate management structure, for providing best services for well-being of people.

Structure of research
In order to gather findings in present research, a systematic structure has been formed,
which includes introduction first (Al-Abrrow, Alnoor and Abbas, 2019). This part introduces
area of research with a brief summary of main points. Then another part, gives theoretical
description of background and focus area, which entails aims and key themes to evaluate what
needs to be addressed to obtain key result. Further, research methodology describes techniques
and sources, including approaches, ethics and access. After completion of this, literature review
will be conducted by taking a number of articles and journals from authenticate sources only. In
addition to this, data analysis will be done under next part then entire data will be critically
analysed in final discussion part, through which conclusion and recommendation will be done.
Time Scale
In order to obtain higher outcomes of present research within set period of time, it is
essential to divide major activities into smaller one then frame the same, in fix duration
(Armstrong and Taylor, 2020). For this purpose, two main techniques can be used that are Work
Breakdown Structure and Gantt Chart. WBS structure will help in dividing the main tasks of
research into smaller sections, while another technique i.e. Gantt Chart is used to allocate time
period of each activity. In context with present research, investigation will be done in following

D) Methodology
Research Methodology
It is one of the most important part of a research that entail which sources can be used to
gather key findings, so that higher outcomes can be obtained (Bagdadli and Gianecchini, 2019).
It includes approaches, techniques, targeted populations, way of gathering and analysing data etc.
In this regard, it is essential to choose the research design which provides framework and entire
methods taken for conducting the study. It also explains research types such as experimental,
correlational, survey, semi-experimental and more, to address main problems. Three main types
of design usually taken in any dissertation viz. data collection, data measurement and analysis of
same, in the form of descriptive, experimental, correlational and diagnostic. Under present
research, experimental research design is chosen, to establish the relationship between cause of a
situation with its impact. This design helps in monitoring the influence of independent variable
on dependent one, through manipulating the perception of respondents.
Research approach helps mainly in organising plan as well as setting procedures for
conducting an investigation. It consists the broad assumptions that helps in gathering in-sight
detailed information, relevant to chosen topic. In this regard, to conduct present dissertation, both
qualitative and quantitative approaches will be implemented (Cameron and Green, 2019) . Using
qualitative approach, secondary data will be collected through summarising the peer reviewed
articles and journals. While quantitative approach helps in gathering information numerical
information, through primary sources.
For conducting primary research, investigator will use questionnaire method, where
targeted population will include entire stakeholders of London Clinic firm. But as it may create
difficulties to conduct investigation on such a large population, therefore, 50 respondents will be
chosen as sample size, by giving equal and independent chance to each for being selected in
research (Datta, Sahaym and Brooks, 2019). The main advantage of using this method is that it
helps in understanding perception of each respondent behind importance of fundamental
structure, at both individual and organisational level. But complex may arise to represent each
perception effectively, therefore, under present report, in primary data will be represented in
graphical form that helps in interpreting information more accurately (Edinger-Schons and et. al.,
8

2019). Furthermore, secondary data will be collected by taking thematic analysis technique
which would help in writing thesis on each specific objective, through books, articles, company’s
report and more. After gathering information from both sources, data will be critically reviewed
under discussion part through various researchers’ point of view (Oliveira and et. al., 2019). This
would help in drawing conclusion and making recommendation for chosen company to adopt
such organisational structure, which helps in managing such a large workplace more easily.
Suggestions will also be given to this firm about strategies through it can achieve established
mission.
Research Philosophy is another crucial part of a report, which entails that how phenomenon
of dissertation will be gathered, as well as way of analysing it, to obtain the given result (Tayan,
2019). This part provides two main techniques that are Interpretivism and positivism, for
performing each task and activity of research, in a systematic manner. Through positivism
philosophy of research, an objective viewpoint can be used for observing reality, therefore, any
type of manipulation is not allowed under this approach (de Araújo Lima, Crema and Verbano,
2020). Other than this, interpretivists approach provides subjective viewpoint to interpret the
gathered information, where researchers are allowed to manipulate the same for obtaining
outcomes, in desired way. In this regard, reference to present report, as researcher are going to
apply both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, therefore, third main technique i.e.
pragmatism will be used.
Ethical consideration
Ethical consideration is another most important of a research, which forces investigators to
conduct each and every activity in systematic and ethical manner, so that quality of result can be
maintained (Murnieks, Klotz and Shepherd, 2020). Under present report, investigators will pay
more attention on maintaining ethics in research, by collecting data from authenticate and
reliable sources only. Along with this, while conducting primary research, consent form will be
taken from respondents, to ensure them their privacy will be kept by unclosing any detail of them
during research and after publication of the same as well. Therefore, applying ethics in present
research will aid researchers in maintaining efficiency of outcomes, with achievement of
objectives in set period of time.
9

Limitation of research
Taking survey on London Clinic company’s stakeholders only, arise limitation of the
research, because applying result of this on entire sector create inefficiency on desired result.
Along with this, limited time and resources will also create issues in conducting each and every
activity in desired manner. These limitations have greatest potential to effect quality of findings,
as well as on ability to address research problems.
