Tucked away in a dark corner of the BUSS3 specification is a topic titled ‘Competitive Organisational Structures’. At first you might think this is simply a rehash of the content you studied for BUSS2. However, an awareness of how organisational structure facilitates the delivery of strategic objectives is essential if you want to capture the top marks.
The focus at AS is very much on the type of any given organisational structure and the notion that the structure in place is a direct product of the management’s choice or preference.

The concept of competitive organisational structures is much more concerned with the alignment and the need for an organisation’s internal structure to effectively reflect the external environment.
