Business organisations come in different types and forms of ownership. TYPES OF ORGANISATIONS They are majorly public or not for profit organisations, private or for profit organisations and voluntary or non-governmental organisations.The private and public sectors organisations have main objectives of turning in a profit. Whereas the non-profit organisations sought for donations or make profits but do not distribute its profits to shareholders or owners but use the money to meet community service or charity goals. Public or not for profit Organisations Public organisations are usually comprised of organisations that are owned and operated by the government and exist to provide services for its citizens and not majorly for profit reasons. The not-for profit or public organisations exist to provide particular set of services to the public and the profits made from such services are further used to develop the economy (Carter McNamara, 2019).
