Sportscools organisational structure is a centrilised structure.
It has one department so nothing else branches of it, there is only one person incharge and they are incharge of everyone else. In Sportscools case there is Carl at the top who is the boss and under that will be me and the other coaches.
There are advantages and drawbacks of a centrilised organisational structure which is that there is only one boss so if there is a problem anywhere in the company then yoou know who to go to get it sorted out,this could also be a disadvantage as the boss might be so busy with everything else then his time could be restricted to what he can do,
Truetobusiness suggests that other advantages of a centrilised structure are:
- There is a strong centralised leadership which will help the business through difficult times.
- The views of the business can be very clearly emphasised as every part of the business will be working towards the same goals.
- Centralisation enables the efficient use of resources, lower overheads and tight financial control.
- As the layout of different branches would be very similar, customers may prefer it as they will know what to expect.
- Policies can be consistent for each department within the business. This allows a greater control and standardisation of procedures.
- Decisions within the business can be made quickly because there is no need to consult or negotiate with individual stores, branches or departments.
