The movement of protons would no longer be controlled by the carrier protein embedded within the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Normally, the ATP synthase is able to use the potential energy contained in the protons passing through it to produce ATP, but as was explained in the previous question, protons would no longer be passing through the synthase. Uncontrolled movement of this kind would mean any energy release would be uncontrolled as well, and therefore

At this level, each of the SBUs is viewed as its own independent entity, pursuing its own profit-creating goals (Rothaermel, 2013). While organizations with a corporate-level strategy with a single or dominant business would be best served by a functional structure, organizations seeking related or unrelated diversification would be wise to utilize a multidivisional structure (Rothaermel, 2013).

Multidivisional or M-form – refers to organizational structure by which firm is separated into several semi-autonomous units which are guided and controlled by financial targets from the centre

Currently, RL operates as a multi-divisional organization. The multi-divisional organizational structure organizes the activities of a business around geographical, market, or product and service groups and is especially useful when a company has many regions, markets, and/or products. Each division is broken down into separate divisions headed by presidents and contains a complete set of functions (“Common”, 2017).

Currently, the business operates under a divisional organization structure where each division has its own functional organization structure. The main characteristics of the organizational structure used by Whole Foods Market are four tier hierarchy, teams as well as functional structure in every division. However, while a divisional organization structure may be working domestically for whole food market I would propose that the organization adopt a geographical organization structure while venturing into the Malaysian market (Leontiades, 2010). This type of structure is most efficient for organizations that aim at covering large geographical regions so that it can be able to support the various logistical demands as well as the differences that exist in the geographic customers’ needs. Geographical organization structure is usually classified according to the different geographical regions that the company intends to cover and oversight in each region is given to one person. It also assists to bring employees in each geographical region together which in turn promotes unity as workers aim at achieving similar objectives. This type of structure enables each geographical division to operate as an Independent company that has enough employees to

Kirkham’s strategy was to integrate the different systems of each division into an “all-inclusive” product and also to involve all the divisions together with regards to product development, instead of letting each division be responsible for just products within that division. Mr. Donaldson chose Kathleen Quinn, Vice-President of R&D, to be responsible for coordinating the development of new products. This proved to be quite a challenging task considering that each managing director (of each division) still retained responsibility for the turnover and profitability of their respective decisions and also for the strategies to achieve the goals of their divisions. In addition, regardless of the trend of their customers in purchasing integrated systems, the majority of each division’s turnover came from the sale of stand-alone products.
