It will usually appoint a Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer, who has overall responsibility for the running of the business. Senior managers or company officers head the various departments or functions within the company, which may include the following.
a Marketing e Finance
b Public Relations f Production
c Information Technology or IT g Research and Development
(or R and D)

Some words about the organizational structure of Rossomon. The Managing Director, that is Mr Bunce, is responsible for running the company and is accountable to the Board.
He is assisted by four executive departments. These are Human Resources, which is responsible for personnel, training and management development; then there is the Finance Department which takes care of corporate finance and accounting; next there is the Management Services Department, led by Peter Jenkins who is in charge of rationalisation throughout the company; and finally there is the R&D Department – research and development – which works closely with the five regions on new product development.
The regions. Directly under the Managing Director, there are five Regional Managers. Each of them is responsible for the day-to-day management of a territory – these are geographically split into North, South, East, West and Central Regions.
The five regions are supported by two sections – Marketing and Technical Services. They are organised on a matrix basis with section leaders accountable to the Regional Managers. They work closely with the regions on the marketing and technical side.
In addition to the parent company , Rossomon has three subsidiaries, namely Rossomon France, Germany and Japan. The subsidiaries report to the Export Sales Department, which in turn is accountable to the Board.
