1.3.4.3a - Organisational structure

Analyse hierarchy, chain of command, span of control, centralisation and decentralisation.

Use a - organisational structure to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because a - organisational structure determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply a - organisational structure to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: a - Organisational structure is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
