• Small businesses (particularly sole traders)
have an informal organisational structure
• As a business gets bigger then it starts to form
some kind of organisation
• An organisation structure is required as soon as
there are several people working in the
business
• The structure determines:
– Who is responsible for what job and
– Who is responsible to whom.
