It is analyzed that every business entrepreneur firstly needs to analysis the business challenges and types before starting up new business. The main objective of this paper is to identify the reason behind the incorporating the particular type of the organization. This report reveals the size scope, objectives and interrelation between the type of organization and employees’ need.

With the changes in time, legally, there are five sort of the major organization which could be incorporated by the entrepreneur to set up a strategic business functioning such as public, private, non-profit organization and corporative charities. There are several examples which could be undertaken to describe the particular type of the organization. Tesco Plc is the public organization which is indulged in telecommunication business and having high amount turnover. Ideally, company is incorporated as public company which wants to raise capital by issue of shares and having complicated business. In case of private sector business, there could be private company such as Kiwi Import. This company is incorporated by the two directors who take all the imperative decisions to run the business effective. In addition to this, one person company is the type of company in which only one member is the whole sole owner and takes imperative decisions. The private organization is the best option to start up a new business when company wants to have less complication in its business process and strengthen its overall business outcomes. The Non-profit organization is incorporated for the particular social purpose and least care for earning profit from the market. The British Red Cross organization is one of the non-profit organizations which are indulged in offering its health care services to the clients in market. It is the most popular company having objective to serve society with its advance society’s oriented services in market. In addition to this, Private and Public organization both have their own objectives and purpose and incorporated for their particular purpose. It is analyzed that when company wants to raise capital from the public then it will have to go for public enterprises so that its shares could get listed on the stock exchange. However, public company has high legal compliance as compared to small organization. It is analyzed that if entrepreneur has small type of business then it would be better to incorporate private company.
Increasing Growth and Complexity of the International Business Environment
All the public companies are indulged in big business process such as CSR activities, financial planning and employee orientation work program.

This company has to comply with the listing and other applicable corporate law and regulations if it wants to sustain its business in long run. On the contrary to that, when entrepreneurs are having small business ideas then they are indulged in incorporating the one person company or small sole proprietorship. This is developed so that it could help entrepreneurs to keep the business legally different from its owners. It is done to make the liability of the owners limited. In addition to this, it is hard for the private company to raise capital from the market due to the high legal compliance and corporate governance program. Furthermore, sole proprietorship company is also having its disadvantage as it is very small in nature and at certain limit of time, it may requires organization to convert into private and public organization.
The international business environment has been changed throughout the time. It is analyzed that if company wants to have growth in its business then it must focus on tapping the new international market. It has been observed that countries like UK, US and Australia have been showing high growth in their GDP rate and purchasing power of the clients. These are the positive indicator for the organizations who wants to tap international market for the business expansion. In addition to this, Asian Countries are also revealing high amount of growth in its business. It is analyzed that international alliance and strategies are the base for the international business.

One person company- It is the small company which is incorporated with the single member. This company is promoted when the owner do not want to share his ownership with other business owners. It is analyzed that one person company has less complexity and it is easy for operating the business (Apple Incorporation. 2018).
The limited companies:
The limited liability company is noticed by the corporate association. The main reason behind creating the limited liability company is based on its separate legal existence of company. The Apple incorporation is the international company which is offering highly advance tech products and services. This company has been tapping the new market with its high quality tech goods in market. It has set up strong corporate legal compliance program which has strengthened its legal brand image on international level. Company has been holding annual general meeting since very long time.

With the ramified business growth and expansion, every organization needs o align the structure, size, scope and business activities with its business objectives? It has set up strong correlation between organizational structure, size, scope with the objectives and goals. It is analyzed that due to the complex business organization and structure company needs to manage its business structure. Apple Company has followed decentralized business structure in which functional, Human resource management, Information technologies and matrix organization functions are handled. It is analyzed that the research and development department of the Apple Company is highly strong. The public limited company has to comply with the listing and corporate law requirement if it wants to sustain its business in long run. It is considered that matrix project functions are undertaken if company is facing high complexity and issues in its business process (Baily, 2017). The main owners of the company are its shareholders who have invested capital. In addition to this, all the employees and staff members of company are accustomed to act as per the directions and instructions of the chief financial officer of company.

This public organization is accompanied with the large and big organizational activities which are aligned to earn good amount of profit. The scope of company is to create strong brand image on international level and satisfying its clients (Kwasa, Bloebaum, and Mesmer, 2015).
2. After assessing the annual report of company it is considered that the size, scope and organizational structure of the company are based on its set objectives and goals. If company is having high profit and turnover and also facing high complexity in its business project functions then it will have to incorporate the public limited. Entrepreneurs who are having objectives and vision to render benefits to society and less interested in earning profit then they should go for incorporating the non- profit organization (Kanten, Kanten, and Gurlek, 2015). Apple incorporation is the international public company which has motive to earn profit from its business activities. It is considered that due to the high complexity in its business process it has been incorporated as public limited company. At the same time, Red British organization has been incorporated as non-profit organization which is indulged in providing benefits to society. This shows the scope and objectives which are considered by the company before starting up new business.

It is analyzed that Apple Company has been following decentralized business functions in which all the decision and strategic planning is being made by the different line managers of the process (Thies, Zdrallek, Schwan., and Ettinger, 2014).
