business has grown and become profitable and as a result the structure of the organization must
reflect the changing business needs. He started off with just an accountant and general
administrative department. Due to the growth of the organization, there is now a need for a
marketing and sales department, IT department, production department, risk department,
operations department, human resource department, finance department, research and
development department and health and safety department. John is considering implementing a
functional structure. This way specialist departments are able to focus on their tasks and meet their
objectives. John is also concerned about his value chain and would like further insight on this grey
area in his business function. Since the business is doing well locally, John is considering
expanding to parts of the United Kingdom, Canada and Asia. As such, he is considering the
development of a global strategy. John understands that to shape the organization’s overall
strategy there are various strategic drivers both internal and external which must be considered
and wants expert advice on these drivers relevant to his business. Though the market is
competitive John’s company is known to be innovative. He has also demonstrated a care for the
environment which has added value to his organization and his success.
