Topic: Organisation structure and design (1000 words). Using appropriate theoretical models, evaluate and describe the main features of structure and design of each company.

You can discuss the leadership style of the CEO and the way you believe the company approach leadership development amongst its employees, such as behaviours and values fostered to career progression.
