Introduction
For the business organization, the most important factors is to build up and maintain
the effective business structure and that can only be possible by the implementation of the
correct procedure of gaining the effective organization performance of CQ University and
protecting it from the risk factors that may arise for the influences of the environmental forces
and others. This study follows the literature review of the five journals and the role of the
mangers suggested by each journal. This study provides the correct procedures and the
appropriate suggestions of building up of the perfect organizational structure.
Organisational structures or governance
Bird, Y., Short, J. L., & Toffel, M. (2018, July). Organizational Structures and the
Improvement of Working Conditions in Global Supply Chains. In Academy of
Management Proceedings (Vol. 2018, No. 1, p. 14201). Briarcliff Manor, NY
10510: Academy of Management.
This study mainly discuses about the exploitive working condition that have spurred
through the development of the organizational structures, which deploy the mechanisms
involving the legislation for setting of laws including rules and the procedures of the employee
participation for improving the labour categories in the global supply chain.
This study also finds out that the improved working conditions in the CQ University
that mostly compete with the productivity driving economic activities. Highlighting on the
economic sociology of the legislation and the theories of organization learning, this study

investigates how the organization individually combines and associated with the improved
working conditions. The findings of this study also challenges the existing theories of the
decoupling by drawing light on how the organizational structures are the credible signals for
the improvements and how it can be coupled with the organizational changes via the
organization process of learning even in the period of the intense demand of efficiency. In
addition, the findings suggest the important strategic considerations of the managers for
selecting the supplier factories and providing the key insights on the designs of the
transnational sustainability governance regimes.
This study highlights the importance of updating and improving the working condition
according to the legislation rules and laws, is essential for maintaining the organizational
structures. Thus, the manager need to look forward for constant improvements in the working
condition that will enable the CQ University to make new and more effective productivity.
Environmental forces
Young, W., Davis, M., McNeill, I. M., Malhotra, B., Russell, S., Unsworth, K., & Clegg,
C. W. (2015). Changing behaviour: successful environmental programmes in the
workplace. Business Strategy and the Environment, 24(8), 689-703.
This study focuses on improving the environmental attitudes, behaviours and the habits
of the individuals in the organization. This study reviews the environment of the working
conditions that influences the organization’s based changing behaviours initiatives.
This study involves the research evidences, which measured the actual environmental
performances rather than using the self reported methods. The authors in this study develop

the pro environmental behaviours framework of employees that involves the individuals,
group, organizational and the contextual factors for gaining the predictive relevance across the
different behaviours and the CQ University. This study shows the strongest predictors like the
environmental awareness, the environmental infrastructures that influences the organizational
behaviours. This study reflects the significant components based on the external
environmental factors of the organization. This involves the external competition in the
business market, the economic landscape that describes about the customer optimism, which is
influential in generating the customer is spending and the fear of the economic stability,
customer tastes, the regulatory environment and the technology that affects the business.
This study reflects light on the importance of the environmental factors on the
business; the manager plays the major role in dealing with the changes brought by the external
factors in the CQ University. Manager need to find out the effects of the environmental and
should drive the organization according to the influence of the environmental factors. The
determination of the prices, the technology updation and the risks of the organization, that are
getting imposed by the external environment factors, the manager need to determine these
factors and make the business function accordingly. The environmental factors like the
customer influences play the significant role in altering the business process of the
organization and also affects the economic condition thus, the manger need to drive the
business as per the customer tastes but in low cost policy.
Risks confronting the firm
Hsu, P. H., Lee, H. H., Liu, A. Z., & Zhang, Z. (2015). Corporate innovation, default risk,
and bond pricing. Journal of Corporate Finance, 35, 329-344.

This study proposes the model to compute default measures for the individuals of the
business firms and this study also accesses the effect of the default risks on the returns of the
equity. This also states that the size effect is one of the default effects and mostly the business
firm fails for servicing its debt obligations. Thus, the default risks induce the lenders to require
from the borrowers spread over the risk free rate of the interest and the spread is the increasing
function of the probability of the default of the individual firms.
This research study makes the effort of putting forward the modelling default risks for
valuing the corporate debts and the derivative products acquires the attention to the effects of
the default risk on the equity returns. This study found out that the effect of the default risks
could have on the equity returns, which is not obvious as the equity holders are considered as
the residual claimants depending on the firm’s cash flows and there are no promised returns on
the equities. In this research study, the author stated that instead of depending upon the
information regarding the default obtained from the business bond market and this study need
to estimate that the factors like the likelihood indicators for the different individual firm using
up the equity data.
The manager needs to found out the default risk that is closely related to the size of the
business firm and the book-to-market characteristics of the business firm. This is so because
that both the size and the BM markets could be viewed as the default effects. Manager plays
the most significant role of using up of the accounting models for estimating the default risks
of the equities.

Organisation and business practices
Ortiz‐de‐Mandojana, N., & Bansal, P. (2016). The long‐term benefits of organizational
resilience through sustainable business practices. Strategic Management
Journal, 37(8), 1615-1631.
This research study found out the benefits sustainability that is applied to the short-
term casual logic and the data analysis. This study focuses on the social and the environmental
practices that are associated with the business sustainability of not only contributing the short-
term outcomes, but also the organizational resilience in CQ University.
This study found out by testing the hypothesis of the data based on the 242 different
individual firms over the 15 year of time period that is the organizational resilience is the
latent and the path dependent construct that is accessible through the long-term outcomes
involving the improved financial volatility, survival rates and the survival rates. This was
found out also based on the data depending upon the relationship between the SEPs and the
short term of the financial performances. This also shows that the organizational firms accept
the responsible social and the environmental practices that are related to the matched control
group and reflects the lower financial volatility, the higher chances of the survivals and high
sales growth.
The managers mostly look for the firms with the short-term financial benefits for
justifying the social responsible and the sustainable practices. These articles suggest the
manager of the firms to implement the practices in the firm, which will help the firm to
become more resilient and this also helps them to avoid the crisis and bouncing back from the

shocks. However it will be difficult to analyse the avoidances of the shocks, thus the mangers
need to analyse the long-term outcomes.
The functions of diverse firms
Roberson, Q., Holmes IV, O., & Perry, J. L. (2017). Transforming research on diversity
and firm performance: A dynamic capabilities perspective. Academy of
Management Annals, 11(1), 189-216.
This study develops the growing concept on the diversity of the firms and the
performance of the diverse firms. This also approaches the research on the various fields,
theoretical conditions, and the analysis level suggest that maintaining the diverse relations in
the CQ University is not the simple concept.
This study found out that the diverse firms are the future of the business market and
this corporate divergence need to be followed for the achievement of the desired outcome in
the organizational performances of CQ University. This study also expects the firms to extract
benefits from the diversity and articulating the underlining mechanisms through which the
effects occurs.
Manager of any diverse firms should maintain and encourage the building up of the
multicultural relationship among the employees; this is the major role of the manager to treat
every cultural aspects in the valuable manner.
