This is completed through clear definitions of the allocation of work, differentiation, and the coordination of having those responsibilities working together towards the efforts of the organization, integration (Bolman & Deal, 1993, pp). Through these methods, the organization is able to devise a division of labor that collaborates to bring about the missions and goals of an organization.

I would also have a sixth manager that would oversee all of the areas and other managers as well as attending to customers and employee’s needs. After I hired the employee’s. I would have them all trained with a centralized model.
