...Unit 1 – Business Environment P4 - Explain how their style of organisation helps them to fulfil their purposes In this task I will be explaining the McDonalds business, covering how their organisational structures and strategic planning process has helped them to fulfil their purposes and aims. How the structure of McDonalds have helped them to achieve their aims and purpose: McDonald’s organisational structure is hierarchical. This structure consists of multiple levels which means that McDonalds business structure would have a chain of command in the diagrammatic representation of a pyramid, with a large base of workers, who are then supervised by the smaller level above them, who are then supervised by the level above them, until it goes all the way to the top of the pyramid. Basically, anything that can be broken down into layers of levels which range from broad to specific can be considered hierarchical. This organisational structure is best for McDonalds because they are a worldwide fast food restaurant and they need a secure control over the whole business and the hierarchical structure lets that happen. This has helped McDonalds to fulfil their purposes and aims because without a secure control, McDonalds would not be able to function properly. The hierarchy also shows the clear division of work and the lines of control and communication. McDonalds have different functional areas like: finance, marketing, production, customer service, sales and human resources. In these...

...Unit 1: The business environment Help sheet 1.1.1 P1 Describe the type of business, purpose and ownership of two contrasting businesses To achieve P1, you must complete Task sheet 1.1.1, a case study, as well as Worksheets 1.1.1 to 1.1.4. You must also write a detailed presentation about two organisations. • You must ensure that the two organisations chosen are very different. For example, a large plc, such as Tesco, and a charity, such as Save the Children. This will make it easier to compare the environments. • It is a good idea to choose organisations that you are interested in, but that also have a large amount of information available. Therefore, spend some time researching a few organisations that might be of interest to see which one will make this task the easiest. • The same organisations will be used for tasks other than P1 so look ahead in the assignment to make sure the information you will need is available. • Once you have chosen your organisations, you need to research them in order to be able to identify the type of businesses they are. You must identify which scale they operate at and what sector they operate in. Make sure you give evidence and reasoning to back up your decisions. • The purpose and ownership of a business can often be seen on its website. However, you may find a phone interview very useful for collecting all the information you need. This can then be used as evidence. Remember to reference your work when necessary. ...
