There are two aspects to Assessment I need to ask. Firstly, how are the two organisations (Allevia and Ping An) different from each other. This part is straightforward. However, when discussing, provide some anchor based on appropriate theory.

The second part requires you to dive deeper. Need to examine what the organisations do, who they serve, what value they provide, and how they go about accomplishing this.

From this, you get an understanding of what activities the two organisations need to engage in, what kind of people they need and with what skills, and how best their work can be planned, organised, coordinated, and managed. This should provide you with indication of how the two organisations should be structured based on roles, responsibilities, reporting relationships etc.

Finally, look at the structures of the two organisations (as shared with you or gathered from your own research in the case of Ping An) and explain why these organisations are designed the way they are.

Here is an example. When discussing where Technology should sit in an organisation such as Ping An, look at the content from the article on e-commerce structures by Ali et al and relate it to how Technology has been positioned within Ping An.
