    Hello Sir,

    Could you please explain me the following,

    1. What is meant by “one off”?

    2. What is the difference between “acquisition” and “post acquisition”?

    3. Other than machine and professional bureaucracies, what are the remaining 4 organisation configurations suggested by Mintzberg (couldn’t find this in lecture notes) and please brief me on each?

    4. What is “b2b” and “b2c”. Please brief me on each?

    Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance

    one-off = happens once only.

    acquisition = buying something eg a rival; post-acquisition = after you have bought it

    simple = boss and workers; divisional = a number of machine bureaucracies in a group structure. Don’t worry too much about these.

    b2b = businesses selling to other businesses

    b2c = businesses selling to consumers (the public)

    Hello Sir,

    Thank you very much for clearing me the doubts.

    Could you please explain whether non financial benefits and intangible benefits are the same?

    And please state the 6 types of capital used for integrated reporting?

    Thanks in advance

    Non-financial and intangible are not quite the same.

    For example, a reduction in waiting times for hospital treatment is not-financial but quantifiable and probably regarded as tangible. Improvement in staff morale is intangible.
