Dear Year 12
Today we start P3 & P4 for the final unit.
P3 requires you to discuss the organisational structures of the TWO chosen businesses that you talked about in P1 & P2.
You also need to comment on the PURPOSE of the structure.
Discuss if the structure is a FUNCTIONAL one, GEOGRAPHIC,
You need to have a drawn structure of each in your report and a comment on the SPAN of CONTROL that it shows.
You will need to describe the functional areas for both businesses e.g. Finance, Production, Marketing, Production, Customer Service sales and HR to PASS P3

P4 Describe the different stakeholders who influence the purpose of two contrasting businesses
Now you need to give an explanation of how
the style of organisation of the two contrasting organisations helps them
fulfil their purposes. You must include:
1. Strategic
planning for both businesses:
- describe the strategic planning process
- include mission and values
- write strategic aims and objectives – explain cascading of objectives throughout the organisation (from top to bottom):
Remember that they all vary,
depending on the type of ownership:
= private sector aims (breakeven, survival,
profit maximisation, growth);
= public sector aims
(service provision, cost limitation, value for money, meeting government
standards, growth of range of provision)
2. Describe the three major factors which influence their strategic
planning:
- stakeholders
- business environment (government actions, changes in law, competitors, state of the economy)
- business type and ownership
Once you have presented the strategic planning process in both organisations, you need to explain for both businesses how the above described organisational structures and functional areas help the businesses achieve their purpose and aims.
For example, the Human Resources department in our School helps the
school to achieve its mission for providing excellent education by employing
the best staff/teachers, who are experts in the field/subject area. By having a
relatively flat structure communication is quicker; tasks are shared with all
staff to achieve ultimate results – the success of the students.
