An Evaluation of the Impact of the Organisational Structure, Culture and Management Style Upon the Performance of J Sainsbury
I think that the impact of the organisational structure has an
excellent impact on J Sainsbury due to the staff of J Sainsbury
working hard and being highly motivated in the work that they do, and
the customer service that they provide for the customers that shop at
J Sainsbury. This is due to the human resources function of J
Sainsbury recruiting staff that they feel is suitable to work at J
Sainsbury, this could be due to the experience, qualifications, and
availability of the member of staff working at J Sainsbury.
The finance function helps J Sainsbury by the accountants keeping
accounts up to date, this is an advantage because this has an impact
on J Sainsbury by enabling it to see if the financial factors of J
Sainsbury are improving or declining, and if new targets should be
set, and if new objectives should be made.
The marketing function has an impact on J Sainsbury by the way that it
helps the supermarket grow bigger by the advertisement campaigns it
launches to make potential customers of J Sainsbury notice what J
Sainsbury has to offer them.
This helps the performance of J Sainsbury by increasing the sales and
net profit that is made. The things that are mainly advertised about J
Sainsbury is that they offer a high quality range of "Be Good To
Yourself" products (this is J sainsburys own range of food products)
at a competitive price, and also to make this appeal to customers they
use a celebrity chef to advertise the products. There are also many
other advertisement campaigns for J Sainsbury as...

...n making to do as well as the managers. The managers make
decisions in order for J Sainsbury to perform well and be profitable.
The managers also motivate the staffs at J Sainsbury to enjoy doing
their work and to do their work.
This benefits customers by the way that the supermarket stays in a
pleasant condition (tidy, clean etc) and the supermarket stays
organised well so that products are easy to find for the customers.
Overall I think that J Sainsbury has an outstanding organisational
structure, culture, and a practical management system. However that's
my opinion, I think that due to the management style, culture and
organisational structure being successful for J Sainsbury the impact
it has on the supermarket as a whole is up to a high standard and this
has a positive impact on the performance of J Sainsbury.

The reason this topic was chosen was because the Martins chain as well as the Ukrops chain had specific characteristics/ symbols that could be used to define each chain. The concepts that the Martins takeover exemplified were prime examples of the topics we discussed in class. In class, we discussed the organizational culture and how it affects an organization. The Martins takeover is an excellent example of the ways organizational culture affects an organization. In this case, the Ukrops dominant culture just couldn’t compete with Martins. Even though Ukrops had an outstanding positive culture, this is one example of how the national culture had a tremendous effect on the local culture within the Ukrops chain. When the Ukrops managers thought about how their organization was being affected globally, they made the conscientious decision to sell to Martins. Because organizations depend heavily on foreign markets, the managers of Ukrops decided that Martins would be a much better fit to the community.
Each organization big or small has its own values, ways of doing things and assumption that it operates in. The principles and ethics that exist in each of these companies are the baseline through which the company operates its affairs. This is what can be called as that organization’s culture. The culture in existence has an impact on the productivity, effectiveness and efficiency (Keyton, 2011). The basis of setting the most appropriate culture of a company is not only to move or increase the profitability but also to make the stakeholders happy and satisfied. One aspect of that is the employee or the human resource the firm who put their expertise in the firm and add a bit of creativity and innovativeness to move the products. Chick-Fil-A operates in a competitive industry thus it requires all the stakeholders.

4.2 Analysis of Resources, Capabilities, and Core Competencies. Selecting a business strategy that details valuable resources and distinctive competencies, strategizing all resources and capabilities and ensuring they are all employed and exploited, and building and regenerating valuable resources and distinctive competencies is key. The analysis of resources, capabilities and core competencies describes the external environment, which is subject to change quickly.

Furthermore, resources and capabilities are the primary sources of profitability.
Organizational cultural is the system of shared beliefs and values that develops within an organization and guides the behavior of its members, while organizational structure is an expression of social and economic principles of hierarchy and specialization (Kinicki, 2015). Both the culture and the structure of an organization are important things for management to understand in order to successfully set and achieve an organization’s goals. Companies who excel in highly competitive fields can attribute their successful economic performance to a cohesive corporate culture that increases competiveness and profitability. This culture is best utilized in an organization that has the necessary structure to allow its employees to coordinate their

In order to achieve its desired public image and to acquire an organizational identity centered on quality and safety, qualitative research on GM’s culture can be facilitated. Intertwined with the study of organizational culture is organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), which is the performance that supports the social and psychological environment in which task performance takes place. OCBs were found to be positively related to overall organizational effectiveness, unit-level performance, and customer satisfaction (Greenberg, J., 2013). A study of the OCB in GM may help in the change it aims to implement. GM may start by creating an environment where its employees are truly committed to its safety policy while also increasing their job satisfaction.

Variability in organizational performance could result from either internal or external factors as organizations are environment serving and dependent (Ansoff and Sullivan, 1993). The leadership style exhibited by the CEO who sits at the apex of the organization and the key decision makers determine organizational efficiency and effectiveness which have a bearing on the level of performance (Stogdill (1957).
