15. 9 A. Listen to the text, remember the key words.
Most companies are made up of three groups of people: the shareholders (who provide the capital), the management and the workforce. The management structure of a typical company is shown in this organization chart.
At the top of the company hierarchy is the Board of Directors, headed by the Chairperson or President. The board is responsible for policy decisions and strategy. 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
D Personnel or Human Resources
