REVIEW:

Three Main Types of Business Organizations

Sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person, hence the word sole,
meaning one and only.
One advantage of a sole proprietorship is that the owner makes all
the decisions. The owner is not obligated to confer with anyone when it
comes to deciding the location of the business, who to hire, what to sell,
etc. Another advantage to an owner of a sole proprietorship is that he or
she is the recipient of all profits generated by the business. The owner is not
legally bound to share the profits with anyone else.
While there are benefits to being a sole proprietorship, there are also
drawbacks. One huge drawback is if the owner is sued, the owner is held
personally liable. Personal liability means if the person or entity wins the
lawsuit, the court can make the owner sell business and personal assets to
satisfy the debt. Another disadvantage of this type of business organization
is that when the owner dies, the business will become defunct or terminate.
Now, let us see if a partnership can remedy some of these disadvantages.

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

Partnership is a business owned by two or more people. One major

advantage of a partnership is funding. Each owner can help with financing,
start-up costs, or ongoing business expenses. Another advantage is shared
knowledge and experience.
However, one main disadvantage is that it would need to share any
profit with the partner. The percentage split would be agreed upon by each
partner or may equal a percentage of what they put in to start the business.
This same percentage would be applied if the business were sued; each
partner would be liable to the percentage of ownership. Starting a
corporation solves the personal liability issue of a sole proprietor and
partnership.
Corporation, chartered by the state in which it is headquartered, is
considered by law to be a unique entity, separate and apart from those
who own it. A Corporation can be taxed; it can be sued; it can enter into
contractual agreements. The owners of a corporation are its
shareholders. The shareholders elect a board of directors to oversee the
major policies and decisions. The corporation has a life of its own and does
not dissolve when ownership changes.

PRE-TEST:

Below are three examples of businesses. For each, determine the

optimal type of business organization by applying the knowledge from your
previous lesson. Be sure to support your answer by integrating case facts with
the lesson material.

1. Lebron and Davis are long-time friends who plan to open a consulting
service in Chicago next year. Lebron specializes in personal finance, whereas
Davis specializes credit management, making them a great team. Both wish
to keep their tax filing requirements as simple as possible.

2. Kuzma is a 52-year old teacher who has no children and is not married. He
plans to start a business this summer to mow people’s lawns in the
neighborhood to earn some extra income while school is on summer break. His
clients sign a legal waiver claiming that Kuzma has no liability for any mishaps
on the lawn.

3. Ronda and Green are a married couple who wish to begin operating a
chemical plant since they are both chemists. The couple would be working
with highly toxic substances, but they are comfortable with this given their
experience and the profit opportunity is great. Ronda and Green also own an
8-floor apartment building in Manhattan.

II. What You Need to Know

DISCUSSION:

Nature of Organizations

Definition of an Organization
An organization is a collection of people who work together and
coordinate their actions to achieve a wide variety of goals.

Nature of Organizations
An organization is a social arrangement which pursues collective
goals, which controls its own performance, and which has a boundary
separating it from its environment.

To illustrate:
Let us assume now that Mr. Tiongco’s grocery business has grown by
leaps and bounds. He is planning to open a branch in more strategic place
near busy Cubao. This will be handled by his son whom he has already
trained in running his grocery business.

Mr. Tiongco has reached the crossroad of his business. Like any
entrepreneur who started small but suddenly saw the growth of his business,
he began to wonder how he should get organized to face the challenges
of the future. Shall he remain as a single proprietor-owner or dilute his
ownership by asking some of his trusted relatives and friends to be part
owners and contribute more money for his expansion plans?

To put up a branch, Mr. Tiongco needs more capital to buy a

commercial lot and to construct a building for his second grocery. He must
improve his credit standing by buying grocery goods payable in 60 days or
more. To get a loan from a bank, his present assets are not enough to serve
as guaranty. So, he needs associates in his expanding business. What is the
best approach in organizing and what are the advantages? He consulted
a lawyer-friend and he was given three options.

Downloaded by aubrey provendido (aubreyprovendido@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

First option: Single Proprietor. In this form, Mr. Tiongco as a single person
holds the entire operations as his personal property, managing it on a day-
to-day basis. Most businesses are of this type.

Sole proprietorships are attractive to small investors because they are

relatively easy to start up. Also, the owner entitled to all the profits that the
sole proprietorship collects. On the other hand, sole proprietorships.

Advantages:
1. Formation: Less complicated in preparation of documents and
cheaper compared to starting a formal corporation. The
proprietorship can be named after the owner, or a fictitious name
can be used to enhance the business.
2. Tax benefits: no requirement to file a separate business report. One
will list the business information and figures within his/her individual
tax return. The business will be taxed at the rates applied to personal
income, not corporate taxes.
3. Decision making: Business decision remains the responsibility of the
owner. The owner can also fully transfer the sole proprietorship at any
time as he/she deems necessary.

Disadvantages:
1. Liability: The business owner will be held directly responsible for any
losses, debts, or violations coming from the business. For example, if
the business must pay any debts, these will be satisfied from the
owner’s own personal funds. The owner could be sued for any
unlawful acts committed by him/her or the employees.
2. Taxes: While there are many tax benefits to sole proprietorships, a
main drawback is that the owner must pay self-employment taxes.
3. Lack of <continuity=: The business may discontinue if the owner
becomes deceased or incapacitated. Since the business and the
owner are treated as one and the same, upon the owner’s death,
the business maybe liquidated and becomes part of the owner’s
personal estate, to be distributed to beneficiaries. However, this can
result to heavy tax consequences on beneficiaries due to
inheritance taxes and estate taxes.
4. Difficulty in raising capital: Generating the capital or the initial funds
is usually provided by the owner. Sole proprietorships do not issue
stocks or other money-generating investments unlike corporations.

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

Second option: Partnership

A partnership is a single business with two or more people sharing its
ownership. Each partner contributes to all aspects of the business,
including money, property, labor, or skill. In return, each partner shares in
the profits and losses of the business.

Since partnership is a type of business that requires more than one

person in the decision-making process, it is important that potential
business partners discuss a wide variety of issues up front and develop a
legal partnership agreement. This agreement should document how
future business decisions will be made such as how the business partners
will divide profits, resolve differences in decision making, change of
ownership, and how to dissolve the partnership.

Advantages:
1. Easy and Inexpensive: Partnerships are generally an inexpensive
and easily formed type of business structure. Most of the time spent
starting a partnership often focuses on developing the partnership
agreement between or among few people and its shared
ownership will expresses.
2. Shared Financial Commitment: Each business partner has equally
invested in the success of the busines. Partnerships have the
advantage of pooling resources to obtain significant capital. This
could be beneficial in terms of securing credit, or by simply doubling
your initial money or capital in the business.
3. Complementary Skills: A good partnership should be able to utilize
the strengths, resources, and expertise of each partner.
4. Partnership Incentives for Employees: Partnerships have an
employment advantage over other entities if they offer employees
the opportunity to become a partner. Partnership incentives often
attract highly motivated and qualified employees.
Partnership arrangements are mostly formed in Law, auditing, and some
consultancy firms.
Disadvantages:

1. Joint and Individual Liability: Like sole proprietorships, partnerships

retain full, shared liability among the owners. Partners are not only
liable for their own actions, but also for the business debts and
decisions made by other partners. In addition, the personal assets
of all partners can be used to satisfy the partnership’s debt.

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

2. Disagreements Among Partners: With multiple partners, in the

business, there can disagreements like management styles, salary
schemes, etc. That is why it is important to consult each other on all
decision making having to compromise and resolve disputes.
3. Shared Profits: Because partnerships are jointly owned, each
partner must share the successes and profits of their business with
other partners. An unequal contribution of time, effort, or resources
can cause dispute among partners.

Third Option: Corporation

Often, business owners opt to form corporations to protect
themselves against financial and legal liabilities. A corporation is a type of
business that keeps the dealings, assets, and bank accounts separate
from his/her personal assets.

This is especially true if a business owner, like Mr. Tiongco, needs

more money to fund his business expansion. He wants to take a bank loan,
but his assets are not enough to mortgage. Besides, if qualified to get a
loan, he may not be able to pay the loan and he will lose his mortgaged
properties if they are foreclosed. In short, he wants to protect his own
personal wealth. So, he may decide to look for investors.
The investors are only shareholders of the corporation. However,
investors will elect a set of board of directors responsible for the different
policies and vision for the corporation. The board of directors will also
appoint corporate officers for a day-to-day operation of the corporation.
Usually a corporation has the following key personnel: a president, a
secretary, and a treasurer, although there can be other officers, such as
vice presidents.

Advantages:
1. Separate legal personality: A corporation, once registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is issued a certificate, has
acquired a legal personality separate and distinct from its
stockholders. It can sue and be sued. Shareholders of a corporation
are not liable to obligations the corporation’s contracts into like
debts, negligence, or wrongful acts of the corporation. The
maximum lost of money a shareholder can incur is just the amount
of his/her investment in the corporation-the value of his/her stock.
2. Ease of raising funds: In a corporation, it is easy to raise additional
funds since it has the option to sell shares of the corporation.

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

3. Continuity: It can have perpetual existence, which means it can

outlive its owner because it is a separate person in the eyes of the law.
This means investors do not have to worry about untimely demise of
the owners. It is also allowing the corporation to plan for the long term.
4. Ease of transfer of ownership: It is easy to transfer ownership interests
in a corporation. The board of directors can authorize the issue of
shares of stock in exchange for investor’s capital infusion into the
company.
5. Credibility: A business with an Incorporation or <Inc.= sign after its
name often sounds more credible in the business context. One most
likely attracts more partners, customers, and attention from the
community.
Disadvantages:

1. More time and money spent in organizing: In a corporation, it will

require more time and money than forming other sole and
partnership business type.
2. More paperwork: Several documentations and paper works required
by governmental agencies monitor corporations. The state also
requires the filing of annual reports. And they must file corporate
income tax returns as well.
3. Higher Tax: Corporate profits may be the subject to higher overall
taxes since the government imposes taxes on profits at the corporate
level and again at the individual level if such profits are distributed to
the shareholders.
4. More costly: There are required number of board meetings and
annual shareholder meetings/sessions. All these meetings/sessions will
incur expenses. Most corporations will retain the services of an
attorney and accountant to help them with drafting legal documents
and corporation filings and maintaining compliance with complex
TYPES OF ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
There are different types of organizational set-up or structure. These
set-up or structure are designed to accomplish different goals. The structure
of an organization is crucial part in the progress of an organization since it
can help or hinder the organization in the movement toward accomplishing
these goals. Organizations, large and small in scale, can achieve higher
sales and other profits by properly matching their needs with the structure
they use to operate.

TYPES OF ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE

They come in different shapes and sizes. They can be <tall,= those that
have many tiers between the common worker and the owner of the
company, or they can be <flat,= meaning there are very few levels between
the common worker and the owner.
A basic organization framework is called the line structure. A line
structure organization has only direct, vertical relationships between
different levels in the firm. Take note that there are line departments inside
a line structure. Line departments are directly involved in accomplishing the
primary goals of the organization. For example, in a typical firm, line
departments include production and marketing. In a line organization
authority follows the chain of command. Chart 1 shows a single line
organizational structure.

Chart 1. Sample of Line Structure

Advantages:
1. Tends to simplify and clarify authority
2. Promotes responsibility and accountability relationships
3. Promotes fast decision-making
4. Precise and simple to understand
Disadvantages:
1. Neglects specialists in planning
2. Overloads tasks on key personnel
3. It becomes more ineffective as the organization becomes bigger
4. Managers become experts in too many fields or area
5. Tendency to become overly dependent on the few key people who
are performing numerous jobs

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

Before we proceed further, we should distinguish between line and staff

functions.
A line function, as discussed, is a position that has a direct chain of
command that is responsible for the achievement of an organization’s
goals.
A staff function, on the other hand, is intended to provide expertise, advice,
and support for the line positions. An example of staff functions are HR,
Quality Assurance, and Corporate Planning.

There are, however, several variations of organizational structures. The three

common types are: Functional, Divisional, and Matrix Structure.

FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE

It is a set up wherein each department of the organization is grouped

according to its function or purpose. For example, there may be a
marketing department, a sales department, and a production department.
(See Chart 2) The functional structure works very well for small businesses in
which each department can support itself by relying on the talent and
knowledge of its workers. However, one of the drawbacks in a functional
structure is the restriction in coordination and communication between and
among other departments by the boundaries of the organization in which
having the various departments working separately and independently.

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

DIVISIONAL

Divisional structure is another type of organization structure. This is typically

used in larger companies or organizations with several branches or outlets
that operate in a wide geographic area or that have separate smaller
organizations within the umbrella group to cover different types of
products or market areas. Study Chart 3.

This type of structure provides significant benefit which addresses needs

more rapidly and more specifically; however, communication is inhibited
because employees in different divisions are not working together.
Divisional structure could also be costly because of its size and scope.

Chart 3. Sample of Divisional Chart

MATRIX STRUCTURE
A matrix structure is a hybrid of two structures namely, divisional, and
functional structure. Typically used in a large multinational company, the
matrix structure allows for the benefits of functional and divisional
structures to exist in one organization. However, this can create power
struggles because most areas of the company will have a dual
management- a functional manager and a product or divisional
manager working at the same level and covering some of the same
managerial territory. Study Chart 4 as indicated.
Unlike the other structures, it does not follow the traditional
hierarchical model. Instead, all employees (represented by the green
boxes) have dual reporting relationships. Typically, there is a functional
reporting line (shown in blue) as well as a product-based reporting line
(shown in yellow).
When studying a matrix structure organization chart, the solid lines
represent strong and direct reporting relationships; on the contrary, dotted

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

Chart 4. Sample of Matrix Structure

One advantage point of the matrix structure is the flexibility and the
balanced decision-making (as there are two chains of command instead
of just one).

However, its disadvantage would be complexity which can lead to

confusion among employees. The conflicting orders from multiple sources
may lead to confusion and increase ineffectiveness and conflict. Some staff
specialists or personnel may exert direct authority over the line personnel,
rather than exert advice authority.

Informal Organizational Structure

Before we leave this topic organizational structure, one must bear in mind
that there are two broader organizational structure identified as: the formal
and the informal organization.
The formal organization, as discussed and illustrated earlier, are usually
represented with organizational charts and with position descriptions. There
is a clear reporting relationship that the manager is aware of. On the other
hand, the informal organization is a set of evolving relationships and
patterns of human interaction within organization that do exist but are not
officially prescribed. Alongside with this informal organization are the
informal leaders who sometimes exert influence on organizational behavior.

IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

Organizational Design Principles

Now that we have given you the different types of organization
charts, showing the advantages and disadvantages of each, let’s look at
some Organizational Design Principles.
Firstly, let us be realistic to recognize that there is never a single best
structure for any company or function. Any structure is no silver bullet. There
will never be a <perfect= structure. All structures carry significant strengths
and weaknesses, advantages, and disadvantages, and all the companies
have different capabilities and strategic positions.

Organizational design is the process of aligning an organization’s structure

based on its vision and mission. It is a careful study at the complex
relationship between task, workflows, responsibilities, and authorities, and
making sure these all support the objectives of the organizational strategy
and mandate.

Good organizational design helps communications smoothly

transition from one department to another. It creates an environment where
people can work effectively and efficiently. It fosters productivity leading to
innovation. It is tailored to deliver the company’s competitive strategy. The
design can be evaluated by specific criteria, such as technology, corporate
culture, etc.

Beyond solid and broken, shifting lines and boxes in an organization

chart, one must consider the company’s fundamental building blocks,
namely:

• Recognize how people in the company make decisions

• Determine how people adopt new behaviors
• Create how people are rewarded based on performance
• Agree on what are the commitments
• Manage information and utilize effectively
• Sense of responsibility is allocated and connected with one another.
Under these considerations, therefore, the structure can never be
permanent. It is subject to review and change, if necessary. Changes may
be triggered by heightened competition, changes in customer behavior,
people movements, restructuring, re-engineering, streamlining,
reorganization, and other reasons.

 lOMoARcPSD|29256359

Organizational Analysis and Design (OAD)

Organization analysis and design includes careful examination of
detail staffing levels and hierarchy, spans of control, and repetitions of
roles in the context of the business’s strategy. This implies that all work is not
created equal- there are some tasks that are more strategically important
to a company than others.
It is important to understand that even if a company creates an
elegant and elaborate organizational design but fails to recruit the right
composition of talent and skill; it would be meaningless. In an organization
diagnostic study, its states on the focus on the ability of the current talent
to do the critical work and the effect of the current structure (job design)
on engaging that talent.
An organization is a dynamic and constantly changing force;
hence, organization structure should be flexible and ready to adapt and
respond to a new and emerging needs and to the requirements of the
present as well as to the future conditions and demands of business.
According to the <The Organization of the Future=, a book by the
Drucker Foundation of New York, claims that, <Redesigns have poor track
record. Many of the companies that restructure will restructure again a
few years later. Some of these repeated redesigns are the result of external
change; the first restructuring loses its relevance and power.=
Organizational Analysis and Design (OAD) is undertaken in the context
of changing situations and conditions. Each study is done with specific
objectives such as:
• To develop a structure by which the objectives and policies of the
company can best realized, and the supporting plans
implemented.
• To develop a structure that is responsive to environmental conditions
(competition, regulations, and technology).
• To develop a structure that clearly delineates duties, responsibilities,
and working relationships of people.
We study organization structure for the main reason that it is innate to
an organization as skeleton is to the human body. If the structure is weak,
disjointed, and poorly developed, then no amount of planning will
change the <qualitative to quantitative.= All the planning for
development will be in vain, for the plans will remain just as they are – mere
plans.
