- business unit 2
- organisational structure
- businesses are organised into hierachies
- there are centralised and de-centralised businesses
- centralised is where all major decisions are made by one person or a few managers at the top of the hierarchy
- it is good as it means that policies will be uniform throughout the business.
- on the other hand It can also slow down decision making and decisions can take a long time to filter through to employees.

- de-centralised means the decision making is spread out for example power might be delegated to regional managers or junior employees
- its good as decision can be made more quickly and more targeted to the local area and market
- on the other hand inconsistencies may develop between departments and the decision makers might not know the aims of the business

- training
- induction training- for new members of staff,
- on the job training this is where the person learns to do their job by being shown how to do it- it is cost effective
- off the job training- is when the person learns away from the work place, it is more expensive than on the job training but also more expensive
- appraisal helps identify training needs
