"Although the structure of a business cannot be seen, it's one of the most important aspects. This video ... explains the different types of structure, using case studies of well known companies including Daimler Chrysler, Easy Jet, the ferry service Stena Line and the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly ... Takes students on a journey through different companies, explaining the various structures ... by product, by function, by geography. Compares "tall" and "flat" structures. The video also considers the difference between text book definitions and how structures work in the real world. Finally, how structures affect people and the impact they have on lives. Is "restructuring" an organisation just a euphemism for losing jobs? This video offers an insight into the employee's disturbing perspective on a restructure."--Container.
