Organization

You are free to decide how to organize your company. The chart below shows a company organized via Functional Managers (it includes additional modules which might not be used in your simulation). Your company might prefer to make R&D, Marketing and Production decisions via Product Managers, Segment Managers, or an amalgamation of Functional, Product and Segment Managers. However you choose to organize, keep in mind that clearly defined work assignments increase efficiency and improve communication.

Within Foundation, there are 4 tiers of management. The fourth tier - bottom tier is made up of Product Managers, Segment Managers, Human Resource Manager, and TQM Manager. The third tier includes all department managers - R&D, Marketing, Production, and Finance. The second tier is the Competitive Intelligence Officer. The top role in the organization is the CEO.
