Businesses such as Sole Traders, Public Limited Companies and charities etc… I will write about what features there are and give examples as well. Sole Traders Sole trader is a business which is controlled and owned by one individual person. It is the smallest type of business there is. The owner is responsible for all decisions, debt and profit. The owner receives all profit in the company. Many of the decisions can be made quickly and easily making it simple to manage and organise. There are also many disadvantages; it is unlimited liability therefor if the company becomes bankrupt, the owner loses everything: his/her house, car and any other possessions that seems to pay off the debt. The business will also have low assets seeing as it is a lone trader. He/she will have no investments which other companies have, less backing from the government meaning fewer funds. These types of businesses are very small. Many multi-millionaire businesses have been started from sole trading, the most well-known traders who have become massive business tycoons are Lord Alan Sugar and Duncan Bannatyne.

...P4 - Explain how their style of organisation helps them to fulfil their purposes By Daniyel Hircock Above shows Apple’s organisational chart. Though not a clear cut hierarchy, it is certain that Steve Jobs used to be top of the company. Having him on top of everything else was one of the major factors that Apple did so well as a company. Steve Jobs was the inventor who was always praised for how well he handled his employers. After his passing, however, Timothy Cook has taken over. Cook knows he has a hard position to uphold and is not attempting to come up with new things to keep Apple ahead of its monopolies and ensure they continue to have a good reputation as well as making a huge profit. Because the chain of command would be far too much responsibility and varied for one person, the power is distributed out amongst different directors and heads of different sectors. Steve Jobs would employ people in different sectors to make serious decisions depending on what they’re strengths are. He delegated people to different positions so that Apple would have experts in every subdivision. Apple would be nothing without their loyal customers who worship the company. Because the company is exclusive, things such as a new store opening attracts fans from all around the world. Apple ensure that whatever they do is done at the biggest and best it can be but insist to give away as little as possible information about new projects. This secrecy manages to keep the exclusivity that...

...P3- How businesses are organised. and P4- How the style of organisation helps to fulfil their purposes. My two organisations are H&M (profit-making) and MAA (non-for-profit), as researched in Task 1. The purpose of having an organisational Structure: Division of work: * Division of work is essential in any type of organisation, big or small, everything has to be organised and carried out with care. H&M is a very large international business, therefore a lot needs to be completed and managed, as any ‘slip-up’ could cost the business a lot of money. Dividing up the work between the departments will mean that all the tasks that need to be completed, are done so with great detail and to a good standard in required time to keep the business at the peak of its success. An example in H&M would be, that every department has a deadline by which they have to have done their part of year report for the Annual Report, so all the departments are doing different tasks and writing about their year, but in the end it’s put into one big annual report to be used as progress check and presented to some of the stakeholders such as the shareholders and the head office. MAA is described as a medium sized business; yet the work is still divided between the departments so that all tasks are completed on time and up to a good standard, the difference is that there is much less staff in each department and some staff have more than one type of responsibility within the business...
