ORGANISATIONAL FRAMEWORKS IN CHILTON MEDICAL CENTRE
Organisational Structure- Importance
    Organisational structures are extremely necessary for carrying out essential functions of an organisation. A specific organisational structure helps an organisation have a certain goal and work towards achieving the goal and gaining success. According to Gaspary, Moura and Wegner (2020), a structure that is well defined can help in the effective transmission of instruction and information, thereby setting up a clear communication structure.
