P1 Differences between profit, not for profit and non-governmental organisations

In a business environment, there are various organisations used to operate their activities. Every firm have their distinct function and purpose which need to evaluate properly so that better and signified outcome used to get drawn. It is really essential for an organisation managers to understand various kinds of enterprises working in a keen competitive environment so that beneficial gains could be opt. Thus, various working firms with signified purpose and supply of goods and services will going to evaluated as follow. This need to understand by an organisation manager for managing their work in better and signified frame (Hamilton and Webster, 2015).

Various kinds of business which working and evaluated in dynamic environment of business are stated as follow:

• Profit organisation: These are such kind of business whom major motive is just to earn profit. These organisations have a clear cut objective which is to ascertain more and more profit in consideration so that they could sustain at market world in more definite manner. Profit business satisfy their customers in a signified manner through better quality products and services by utilising each and every resource in better manner. One of a major profit organisation which determine as emerging company in UK business world is ALDI. This is one of a famous and good quality products deliver company of UK whom have command over on market as well as have better market share. This define that management concentrate on their working better so that effective and suitable gain get accomplish better. The major purpose of ALDI is to deliver quality products and services with signified variety so that their users get satisfied. This result in better growth at market world which further enable in accomplishing good profit rate as well. This facilitate in drawing beneficial gain so that efficiency could be maintain and manage in operations.
• Nor for profit organisation: These are such kind of business organisation whom working with support of government. They used to work in welfare of society so that effective services could be deliver. These government organisations not want profit in frame but they just deliver their services so that an appropriate consideration or balance at society take place. They work under some higher authority of government where political interference is more in tenure (Klapper, Lewin and Delgado, 2011). Like electricity board of UK define and consider as one of a major association of not for profit which work to deliver electricity and not want to earn more and more profit. Another better example of such aspect and attribute is Crown Prosecution services whom work under the head of parliament of UK and enable in resolve cases and issues arise due to criminal offense. They work for society not for generating profit so that criminal offense could be reduce in a better manner.
• Non government organisation: Some number of business running and operate properly and does not have any link with government regulations and interventions. These corporations work for the welfare of society and not want any kind of profit for sustaining at market world in a definite manner. Non government organisations are those whom have simple frame work to do things for society and upraise their standard only. They could gain fund from government and some other private institutes in terms of charity so that they could provide services to such groups whom are under developed and not used to gain better services (Osterwalder and Pigneur, 2010). One of a major NGO of UK is Oxfam whom operate for such groups of society which need some little care and development. Their services work as ultimate products and goods so that better significance used to maintain.

These are certain kind of business units and entities which are operating in business environment of UK. All of them have their own and signified purpose and consideration for which they used to work in a beneficial frame. This result in evaluating and gaining better outcome so that effectiveness in their operations could be maintain. Like profit generating companies have a single and clear aim and objective to generate more and more profit so that their keen position of sustainability at market world could be maintain. On the other hand, not for profit firms are those which used to earn profit but lack concentrate of customer satisfaction due to high government interference. Thus, they work simply to render services but nothing else. NGO also work in society for upraise the standard of society so that a beneficial and effective attribute could be drawn in order to maintain and maximise effectiveness and efficiency in working operations.

P2 Relationship between different organisational function

Business entities belong to different size and scope which need to evaluate by an organisation manager properly. A business environment is dynamic in nature which get changed at each and every course of time (Scheer, 2012). Thus, for management of a company it needs to better understand various firms whom belong to differ size and scope of working. Like there are certain firms which used to operate in an environment are signify as follow in terms of micro enterprise, small and medium enterprise and large enterprise. All these have differ market share as well as working abilities. This need to properly understand for analysing the market world so that various units become understandable in order to operate freely as well as for gaining and sustainability. Thus, growth and sustainability are major aspects on which such kind of entities majorly focus upon in order to gain efficacy:

• Micro business: These are such kind of business which operate at lower level and do not refer to much market world. These business work only to a limited area or a network where small groups used to live. Thus, their market share is low with less growth and profit margin. But the chances of sustainability is high due to having good and one to one relationship with ultimate customers (Shigang, 2010). Thus, micro business is easy to operate with lower investment rate so that beneficial attribute could be assess. Thus, micro business have a small interference which required to understand properly.
• Small enterprise: Sometimes, few business have a small working options rather than micro level operations. Small business are quite higher than the micro level business so that they used to operate in an appropriate manner. Like retail stores whom have interference for a limited area network but not able to gain suitable market world. They have maximum number of employees is 50 with limited turnover which need to understand by managers of a company. They are more able to sustain at market world because decision making authority are in hands of owner only where lack of interference of others used to determine. Market share of small business enterprises are around half of the total economy because in every street small firms get evaluated which support an economy to grow by providing appropriate job opportunities.
• Medium enterprise: These business organisations mainly held and operated with some individuals of family (Aterido, Hallward-Driemeier and Pagés, 2011). Although, owners and some number of professional already included into such kind of business with a clear motive to provide tough competition to each and every individual. Like Taj group of Hotels of India which used to operate by family members of a company and have intervention limited to certain parts of India only. The number of employees are little high in standard which up-to 200 so that better and design services get deliver. Thus, decision making process get done by CEO or senior leaders of an association so that effectiveness could be facilitate to become sustainable in nature frame.
• Large enterprise: These are such kind of business organisations whom have interference at vast market world. Such firms required more and more investment in nature where shareholders and stakeholders are a core part of business. One of a best example of such kind of enterprises are ALDI which operate at global level and have good command over on market. Such firm have market share in context with global level so that effectiveness could be based on delivery of products and services rather than other aspects. Thus, management need to be more concentrative towards working options.

Thus, such aspects define in an appropriate and suitable manner of interference where each and every working entity belong to distinct with each other in context with size and scope as well (Bryman and Bell, 2015). Thus, in such consideration, market share of a company also get vary from each other. Market share define the size and scope better so that an appropriate understanding get reflected. Like Oxfam is a small company where as ALDI is one of a large corporations in the world. This result in signify that such associations have limited and definite working operations area which need to better understand for managing effective operations at business environment.
