1.1 compare and contrast different organisational structures and culture
Organisation structure defines the responsibilities of the every individual directed towards the achievement of the organisation objectives and goals. Every organisation has its own organisational structure based on its objectives and goals. The basic objective of every organisation is to achieve its goals with best utilization of available resources keeping in mind the dynamic and competitive environment where they operates.

This organisation structure have one manger and many subordinates under them which increases the responsibilities of the one manager who need to order and look after the work of every subordinate under him i.e. every subordinate is fully dependent upon the manager's direction, help and support.

Senior authorities in vertical form are responsible to frame the strategies and delegate the responsibilities to its subordinates.
