1. Introduction to Different Types of Business Organizations


Organization is an establishment such as association, an institute, and a company consists of more
people with a particular purpose. The main purpose of the organization is to serve and satisfy its
customer.

A collection of an individual and structured entirely which produces and deliver goods and services
utilizing limited resources to achieve its specific goals and objectives are business organizations.
Companies are organized differently. These different types of organizations depend on different
standards.
 Based on ownership
 Based on objective
 Based on scale

1.1 Classification of business organizations based on the ownership


Owners are individuals who provide money for a business and take risks by participating in it. The
owner takes advantage of the profits coming from the business and puts the business at a loss.
Accordingly, commercial firms can be classified into the following categories based on their
ownership.

PEUJINI JOHNSON KANX000009 01


ESOFT METRO CAMPUS KANDY 9

1.3 Classification of business organization based on the scale


The size of the business firm depends on different criteria. The following are some of the
standards used:
 Amount of capital invested in a business
 Number of employees
 Amount of the energy used
 Market share of the business
Based on the scale, business organization can be categorized into two parts.

Small
businesses

Business medium scale


organization businesses

large scale
businesses
Figure 3 Classification of Business Organization

1.3.1 Small & medium scale businesses

Different organizations have set different criteria for classifying small and medium-sized
enterprises. Accordingly, small and medium-sized enterprises are defined as companies with a
small number of employees compared to large companies and with a small market share.
1.3.2 Large scale businesses

Companies that invest enough capital, employ large numbers of people, have large market
share and have the ability to influence the industry in question are called large corporations
1.3.3 Different measures of size

 Revenue
Revenue is used as a measure of size - especially when comparing firms in the same
industry. This is less effective when comparing firms in different industries because some
may be involved in the production of 'high value' products such as precious jewelry, and
others may be 'low-value' products such as cleaning services. . This measure is required to
calculate market share.

 Capital employed

PEUJINI JOHNSON KANX000009 01


ESOFT METRO CAMPUS KANDY 10

In general, the larger the business, the higher the cost of capital required for long-term
investment or the higher the capital employed.

 Market capitalization
Market capitalization can only be used for companies whose shares are listed on the stock
exchange.

 Market share
Market share is a relative measure. If a company has a high market share, it should be
among the industry leaders and should be relatively large. However, when the total
market size is small, a high market share does not indicate a very large company.

1.4 Information on the above mentioned organization


1.4.1 Private sector organization
Businesses owned by an individual or a group of individuals are known as private sector
businesses. Private sector businesses can be further classified as:
 Sole proprietorships
 Partnerships
 Incorporated companies
 Cooperative societies
 Franchise

1.4.1.1 Sole proprietorship

A type of business unit where one person is solely responsible for providing the capital and bearing
the risk of the enterprise, and for the management of the business. A sole proprietorship is a business
owned by only one person. It is easy to set-up and is the least costly among all forms of ownership.
This is a type of business, where the size is small due to limited ownerships. In the modern business
world, the scope sole proprietorship is very limited and the main intension of the business is to earn
profit. A sole proprietorship is considered as the easiest business o form because of the limited legal
formalities. If a sole proprietorship is conducting in sole trader’s name it is not mandatory to register.
If a sole proprietorship is conducting in a different name, it is mandatory to register under Act No. 06
of 1918.If the business is registered it provides an identity and recognition to the business, provides
an ownership of the business name and easier to obtain loans.
Examples: studio
Grocery shops
Fruits stand
Hair saloon

Functions of sole proprietorships


 The sole trader has to accept all the responsibilities to run the business.
 The sole trader of the business must monitor all the activities of the business.
 Obtaining capital is one of the necessary duties of a sole proprietor.
 Managing all the activities of sole proprietorship.

Characteristics of sole proprietorship


 Single ownership.
 No separation of ownership and management.
 Less legal formalities.
 No separate entity.
 No sharing of profit and loss.
 Unlimited liability

PEUJINI JOHNSON KANX000009 01


ESOFT METRO CAMPUS KANDY 12

Merits of sole proprietorship


 East to form and wind up.
 Quick decision and prompt action.
 Direct motivation.
 Flexibility in operation.
 Maintenance business secrets.
 Personal touch.

Limitations of sole proprietorship


 Unlimited liability of the owner.
 Limited resources.
 Lack of continuity.
 Not suitable for large scale operations.
 Limited managerial expertise.

1.4.1.2 Partnership

A partnership is a business owned by two or more persons who contribute resources into the
entity. The partners divide the profits of the business among themselves. The volume or quantity
of goods or services supplied, size of the market relevant to the product and the capital strength
determine the size of the partnership. The intension of the partnership is to minimize the
limitations such as unlimited liability, less capital, risk in decision making which were in sole
proprietorship. The common motive of partnership is to earn profit. A partnership can be formed
verbally, under a written agreement or by action of two or more persons. But the most suitable
form is should be formed in writing. Fraud prevention Act of 1840 states that any partnership
with more than Rs 1000 capital should be formed under a written agreement. This is the
document which states the regulation with regard to the internal parties and the other activities
of the business.
Examples: world vision
Red Bull and GoPro
Spotify and Uber
Maruti Suzuki

Functions of partnership
 Shares profits and loss among partners.
 Following the agreement.
 Making decisions to develop the business.
 Partners together invest capital.

Characteristics of partnership
 Two or more persons.
 Contractual relationship.
 Sharing profits and business.

PEUJINI JOHNSON KANX000009 01


ESOFT METRO CAMPUS KANDY 13

 Can raise more capital
 Can utilize different skills of partners.
 Shared liability among partners.
 Can take collective decision.

Limitations of sole proprietorship


 Unlimited liability.
 Conflict among partners.
 No continued existence
 No legal personality.
 Profit shared among partners.

1.4.1.3 Incorporated Companies

A firm which is registered under the companies Act No. 07 of 2007, with a legal personality,
can raise capital by issuing shares and the liability of the shareholders being limited is an
incorporated company. The ownership of the company is divided into smaller units called
shares. People can buy them and become shareholders - co-owners of the business. Only one
share can be purchased, but usually those blocks are owned and an individual or organization
can have complete control over more than 50% of the shares. Those who have the largest stake
become directors of the business. All shareholders benefit from limited liability

This can be further classified as,


1. Private limited company.
2. Public limited company

Private limited companies

The defense, of which the company is made, therefore, is significant. Smaller companies can get
this protection when the owner creates a private limited company. This is a small business
owned by a shareholder who is a member of the same family. This company generally cannot
sell stock. The term “limited” or “limited” tells us that this is a legal form in business.
Examples: Ceynocata (private) limited
Panaceata (private) limited
Nius Solution (private limited
Hemas Pharmaceuticals (private) limited

Advantages of private limited company


 Shareholders have limited liability
 Separate legal personality
 Continuity in the event of the death of a shareholder
 Original owner is still of en able to retain control
 Greater status than an unincorporated business

PEUJINI JOHNSON KANX000009 01


ESOFT METRO CAMPUS KANDY 14

Disadvantages of private limited company


 Legal formalities involved in establishing the business
 Capital cannot be raised by sale of shares to the general public
 Quite difficult for shareholders to sell shares
 End-of-year accounts must be sent to Companies House –
 Available for public inspection there (less secrecy over Financial affairs than sole trader or
partnership)

Public limited company

These can be identified by the use of "PLC" or "Ink". After the company’s name. It is the most
common form of legal organization for very large companies, for the very good reason that they
have access to very important funds for their expansion. A public limited company has all the
advantages of the status of a private company, as well as the right to advertise its shares for sale
and they are listed on the stock exchange. Not only this mean that public enterprises have the
potential to raise huge amounts of money from the issuance of public shares, but existing
shareholders can quickly sell their shares as needed. The flexibility of buying and selling stock
allows the general public to buy stock first and invest in their business. Another major
difference between private and public companies is the "difference between ownership and
management." As explained above, the former owner of a company usually holds a majority
stake and can continue to manage management when it becomes a private company. For public
enterprises, this is most likely due to the huge amount of shares issued and the number of
individual and institutional investors. Although these shareholders own the company, they
appoint a board of directors at the General Assembly to oversee the management and decision-
making of the company.
Examples: Nestle Lanka PPLC
Sri Lanka Telecom PLC
Cargills Ceylon PLC
Ceylon Tobacco Company

Advantages of public limited companies


 Limited liability
 Separate legal identity
 Continuity
 Ease of buying and selling of shares for shareholders – this encourages investment in PLCs.
 Access to substantial capital sources due to the ability to issue a prospectus to the public
and to offer shares for sale (called a flotation)

Disadvantages of public limited companies


 Legal formalities in formation
 Cost of business consultants and financial advisers when creating such a company
 Share prices subject to fluctuation – sometimes for reasons beyond business control, for
example state of the economy
 Legal requirements concerning disclosure of information to shareholders and the public, for
example annual publication of detailed report and accounts
 Risk of takeover due to the availability of the shares on the stock exchange
 Directors influenced by short-term objectives of major investors

1.41.4 Franchise

The franchise is not really a form of legal structure for a business, but it is a legal contract
between two entities. This contract allows one of them, the franchisee, to use the name,
logo and marketing methods of the other, the franchisor. The franchisee can then decide
separately which form of legal structure he would like to adopt. Franchises are a growing
form of business. They made some of the multinational companies that are household
names today grow much faster than usual. McDonald's and KFC are just two examples.
Examples: KFC
Mc Donald’s
Subway
Pizza Hut

Benefits of franchise
 Fewer chances of new business failing as an established
 Brand and product are being used
 Advice and training offered by the franchiser
 National advertising paid for by franchiser
 Supplies obtained from established and quality-checked suppliers
 Franchiser agrees not to open another branch in the local area

Limitations of franchise
 Share of profits or revenue has to be paid to franchiser each year
 Initial franchise license fee can be expensive
 Local promotions may still have to be paid for by franchisee
 No choice of supplies or suppliers to be used
 Strict rules over pricing and layout of the outlet reduce
 Owner’s control over their own business

1.4.2 Public Sector Business Organizations


Businesses funded and owned by the government are public sector business organizations.
Government departments, government corporations, government companies, business registered and
owned under provincial councils and local government institutions are the different types of business
organizations in the public sector. The government involvement in these organizations is purely for
social welfare.
Examples: Peoples Bank
Sri Lanka savings Bank
National savings Bank
Pradeshiya Sanwarhana Bank

Merit of Public Sector Business Organizations


 Government business provides more services for the well-being of the public.
 Profits owned by the government businesses are re-invested and there by an achieve
economic development.
 Can minimize the wastage.

PEUJINI JOHNSON KANX000009 01


ESOFT METRO CAMPUS KANDY 16

 Provide more essential services to the public.


 Government invest money in large scale projects thereby general public can get more
advantages.

Limitations of Public Sector Business Organizations


 Low competition due to monopolistic situations. (Ex; Department of railway.)
 High cost due to excess employees. (Ex; Petroleum, Port authority)
 High corruption and wastage.
 More government intervention and inefficiency management.
 Labor strikes/labor union activities affect the business badly.

1.4.3 Voluntary Organizations
The voluntary sector usually consists of organizations whose purpose is to benefit and enrich society,
and in most cases there is no purpose or government intervention. Unlike the private sector, which
focuses on generating profits and returning to owners, funds raised or raised by voluntary sector
organizations are invested in the community or the organization itself. One way of thinking about the
voluntary territory is that its purpose is to create social wealth rather than material wealth. Although
the voluntary sector is separate from the public sector, many organizations that support the delivery
of programs and services are always tightly integrated with governments at all levels.
Examples: Red Cross
Women in need
Save the children
V- Force

Characteristics of Voluntary Organizations


 Democratic control
 Voluntary in open membership
 Common expectations and needs.

Merits of Voluntary Organizations


 Democratic control
 Acting for the well-being of the members.
 Shared common benefits.

Limitations of Voluntary Organizations


 Limited capital
 Should adhere only to the stipulated policies.

Examples of organizations in the voluntary sector include:


 Charities
 Foundations
 Social Welfare Organizations
 Advocacy Groups

4.1 Background details of Friends Lanka Child Foundation

FOUNDATION OF THE CHILDREN OF THE FRIENDS OF LANKA (FLCF) is


registered as a local non-governmental organization registered in the Companies Registry
and the NGO Secretariat of the Ministry of Defense and Urban Development. The
organization originated from the Sri Lankan Mission of Friends Kinderhilfe International
eve (FKI), which has been established in Sri Lanka since 2004. Since then, it has carried
out a series of projects for poor children affected by the tsunami and their families. Despite
recent decisions by the FKI head office in Germany not to implement any new projects in
Sri Lanka on behalf of FKI Sri Lanka, the Mission has further agreed to act as a funding
agency when necessary. Therefore, the local team of the FKI Sri Lanka Mission decided to
become an independent local NGO. With years of experience implementing projects in Sri
Lanka, the FLCF inspired the FLCF to create their new organization with new projects. The
FLCF believes that many years of staff work will be of great benefit to the organization if it
has a local team with good experience to build strong relationships with local authorities.
So, without a doubt, it will be the best team to create this independent local organization for
a very sustainable service to poor children in Sri Lanka. [ CITATION Fri20 \l 1033 ]

goals of the organization. These activities may include rules, roles and responsibilities. The
organizational structure also determines how information circulates in the company. [ CITATION

chain of command. Companies using this type of structure have a high speed of
implementation. (Kenton, 2020)

together employees in different divisions or departments.[ CITATION Wil20 \l 1033 ][ CITATION

Establishing organizational structure can be very beneficial for a business. The structure not only
defines the hierarchy of a business and it also allows the business to define a compensation
framework for its employees. The company can decide salary grades and scales for each
position. The structure can also makes operations more efficient. (Nishadha, 2020) (Kenton,

Organizational functions operate based on the goals and structure of the organization. The
organizational structure affects the overall nature and scope of the organizational functions.

Likewise having a good understanding and team work between IT and Finance will help in
the growth of BOC. As IT & finance are playing a major roles in finance this will definitely
bring a positive impact to the bank.

technology has replaced many job roles in BOC. Money related facilities like withdraw,
transaction and checking balance are all done by machines. So finance related information
stored by IT department, which means a good communication is not essential for
everything. Therefore this reduces the link between IT and finance.

an immediate action, the risk management department will fail to do its part. Therefore a
bad teamwork or a communication gap will put a high risk to BOC.

8 The size scope and structure of different organization

The structure, size and scope of any organization are related to the purpose of the business
organization. It can be seen that any organization sets a big goal only with good organizational
structure. If there are fewer people in the organizational structure of the organization and no
one knows about their role and subordinates, they cannot achieve the goal, as there is less
clarity in the role. On the other hand, any business organization sets a goal based on its size. If
the firm is large and invests a lot of money, then they have a big target for their
business[ CITATION joh20 \l 1033 ]

The organizations establish its business goal by examining the scope of its business. If the
organization's jurisdiction is to serve national customers, set the business objective
accordingly. However, if they find that they are serving international clients, set their business
goal accordingly. Depending on the product and service, an organization determines its
structure, size and scope. When a business organization sees this, their product does not need
massive corporate structure. When the business scope of a product or service is only large, an
organization creates the size and scope of a large firm; otherwise it creates a smaller
organization.[ CITATION joh20 \l 1033 ]
