Organisational Structures - Business Studies

A very useful lesson resource for your students studying organisational structures for GCSE and A Level Business, covering all specifications. The worksheets and activities will really help students to develop and apply their understanding about what organisational structures are, their key features and their implications for businesses.

This resource has certainly helped my classes and is thoroughly recommended for all centres. It comes complete with PowerPoint Presentations, key terms (e.g. levels of hierarchy/span of control), activities and worksheets, which should take students approximately two lessons to complete if covered in detail.
