Harry

Phew! Finally, I’m done preparing for the new organizational structure presentation tomorrow.

Liam

That’s great! So, how is the company structured in your presentation?

Harry

So, our company will be divided according to function. As we specialize in manufacturing, I will be focusing on the production department.

Liam

Okay. So, who makes the decisions on contracts with companies?

Harry

Our production manager, Ms. Evans, has the final say on all manufacturing processes since she has been in the position for three years running. Also, any decision she makes has a significant impact on the entire department.

Liam

I agree. What about the manager in the consumer client division? Where does he get his information?

Mr. Lopez, our consumer client division manager, gets information from the Investment Research Department supervised by Ms. Peterson, who was elevated to that position last month for her exemplary performance.
