The business ownership type
The disadvantage and advantages about Oxfam’s ownership is that they are raising cash in able to help the poor, they help the poor but they sometimes do not have that much cash to help others who need it the most. The purpose of Oxfam is to work with thousands of local partner organizations. They work with people that live in poverty striving to exercise their human rights.

A brief overview of organisational theory
Oxfam uses organisational theory in their organisation by tackling problems by diving up works in between the colleagues so it is easier to get the work done, and another way is when they make sure that they control the activities to avoid conflict in between the business and make decisions that contradict others in the business.

Oxfam is organised into a structure that will enable them to meet their purposes, and to provide a famine relief, to create excellent bargains for shoppers. The organisational structure is dividing up work that needs to be done, by dividing the work this means that people in the organisation is clear about who does what in the organisation and that all the tasks that are required and performed. This is also important to avoid conflict and individuals making decisions that contradict others in the business.
An explanation of the decision making process for strategic
The Organisation structure of a company addresses the fact that every organisation has specific units that are responsible for different roles and actions in the organisation and that no department within the organisation stands alone, they are intertwined. The organisational chart or structure should be designed to divide up the work load, responsibilities and roles to be done

An organization is a social unit of people that is designed and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals. All organizations have a management structure that determines relationships between the different activities and the members, and subdivisions and assigns roles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out different tasks. Organizations are open systems; they can affect and are affected by their environment (What is an organization? definition and meaning, 2013).

Acknowledging the importance of non-profit organizations in my life is easily done because of the unforgettable experiences had at a local organization and the impression it left on my life. As by taking part in a local non-profit organization, my mother and I were able to embark on a medical mission trip to Romania in 2006 and 2007. We set out to simply love and grow into a culture of people we knew nothing of, but yet still being drawn together by an awesome God and His mission for us as a people. Devoting our time and love, we also aided many in need with medical necessities: taking their blood pressure, addressing any problems they may have, and relinquishing all medicines that may be needed. Through my experiences, I’ve found that many non-profit organizations work to assist a multitude of hurting individuals through various methods of relief and invoke the initiation of volunteers into action. Although countless individuals have faced negative issues while being a part of such an organization, it is to be said that none can truly fathom the value of a non-profit organization that upholds dedication to the people it may serve, by way of various methods that provide great relief.
...a is also, in association with other organizations that are attempting to assist the aboriginal people of Australia (Australia, 2013). The Oxfam Australia organization has done much in the way of educating the continent of Australia, and the aboriginal youth within Australia, in order to make the aboriginal culture as a whole strong and to have a more satisfying life as well.
Most non-profit organizations’ purpose is to improve the local community and society. The purpose of a small business is to make a profit by providing a service or selling a product. This purpose is what drives the employees/volunteers and usually there is a difference in how we work when we are just earning a paycheck as compared to when we work toward a cause we believe in.

There is no one who does not know that Oprah stands for “ reaching out a hand on behalf of others”(Kirkwood).

In an article written by Brian Prince, he states, “Poverty allows for the creation of jobs” (2010). This can be proven as true because without poverty, the individuals who spend their time providing services to poor would be without work. There would be no need for non-profit organizations such as Feeding America and UNICEF, which provide children and adults located in various places around the globe with food and opportunities that would not be available if there was no reason for these organizations to exist. For example, individuals that are living well above the poverty line, such as the upper class, would no longer feel the need to engage in philanthropic work such as Oprah does through her foundation by building schools for children living in poverty in
