Edexcel Business - Organisational Design

A new series of resources aimed at assisting teachers with the delivery of the Edexcel A Level Business specification. This resource specifically looks at topic 1.4.3. Organisational Design. It considers basic fundamental structures of a business including hierarchy, chain of command, span of control, centralised and decentralised control. It also looks at different types of structures such as tall, flat and matrix, before concluding with an assessment of the impact of different structures upon a business in terms of efficiency and motivation. The clear and well-presented nature of the slides are aimed at helping students to understand the topics with each topic analysed to provide a balanced assessment of the theory.
