-We respect each other
-We work as a team
-We are committed to continuous improvement
It is essential that these values statements go well beyond simply being words on paper. They need to be represented in reality of everything that an organisation does.
Sainsburys value statement is – “we put our customers first” and “we respect each other”. Sainsburys has always been a success treating their newcomer employees. Also the managers are welcomed and respectful to the new employees, which make them more confident and stable.
All organisations consist of groups of individuals whose morals, styles and behaviours are likely to be different in some ways while being comparable in other ways. It is vital to be aware of the viewpoint and behaviours of stakeholders in an organisation.
The most successful businesses are those where the staffs shares similar values and moral principles since these show individual and corporate behaviour.
If the stakeholders in commerce have very diverse values, tensions are liable to happen, foremost to influence and deprived routine. If on the other hand, stakeholders share the key values there is for better prospect of success.
WHERE TENSIONS IN VALUES MAY OCCUR:
An organisation might have a group inventive and imaginative employees inadequate to assist an organisation to put together decisions but who are dominated by an despotic and repressive executive, an additional circumstances in which conflict would arise would be on in which employees have a ‘public service’ inspiration in which they want to serve the wider commune but are controlled in their actions by the organisation’s drive to make all of its performance concerned with maximising profits. So organisations that have a range of stakeholders with a deep concern for preserving the environment faced by an organisation with poor waste management policies leading to pollution not be successful.
An organisation chart is a diagram, which shows the structure of the organisation. It shows the job titles of employees and their relationship with each. At the top of the chart are more senior staff. They have more responsibility than those lower down. Horizontal links on a chart show staff who works at the same level of each other and who relate to each other. Vertical links on a chart show staff whom a particular manager or supervisor is responsible.
There are also diverse business structures, flat and hierarchical structures. Sainsburys is a hierarchical structure. Hierarchical organisations are based on a top down loom with a highlighting on statement down the line.
A hierarchical organisation is taller than a flat structure. It has many levels. The word ‘hierarchy’ means a system whereby grades or classes are ranked one on top of the other.
Hierarchical structures are sometimes called pyramid structures because at each level downwards there will be more employees.
