Organisational Structure and Employees
This topic explores how businesses are structured and how this affects the roles, responsibilities, and performance of employees. You'll begin by looking at organisational charts, including different types such as hierarchical and flat, and understand the difference between centralised and decentralised decision-making.
Next, you'll study how responsibilities are assigned within a business, focusing on key terms like span of control, chain of command, and delegation, and how these influence accountability and compliance.
Finally, you'll examine the main functional areas within a business—human resources, finance, marketing, and production—and explore the specific responsibilities each area carries out to help a business run effectively. Understanding these concepts will give you a clearer picture of how businesses operate on a day-to-day basis.
