Purpose of this assignment
To develop knowledge and understanding of business, the functions of an organisation and the wider business environments in which organisations operate.
This assignment will help them to examine the different types of organisations (including for profit and not for profit), their size and scope (Micro, SME, transnational and global). They will explore and examine the relationships that organisations have with their various stakeholders and how the wider external environments influence and shape decision-making.
TASK 1: (Covering Assessment criteria LO 1 & 2)
You have been employed as a Business Analyst by a large multinational organisation (an organisation of your choice) to investigate different types and sizes of business they will have to compete with.
1. You are required to investigate and explain three different types of organisations, their size and classification to highlight differences between them. This should include their legal structure, size and scope, as well as their key stakeholders.
2. For one of the organisations you must then explain the various functions within the business and create an organisational chart to explain the interrelationships between different functions. You must also explain how this would be different in the other two organisations.
This will be presented as a report to the CEO and should include the following:
• Introduction to provide an overview of different types of organisations and the growth of the international business environment.
• An explanation of each of the chosen organisations, including: background details of the organisation; the products and services they supply; the size and scope of the organisation; their vision, mission and business objectives; the organisational and legal structure; and information about their stakeholders.
• In detail, explain the functions for one of the chosen organisations, using an organisation chart to show how the functions interrelate and an explanation of how they relate to structure.
