In addition to this, the report will cover 3 levels of Morrisons and theirresponsibilities, including associated functional areas associated with roles and styles ofleadership and management from theoretical perspective.

Apart fromthis, a Mc Donald's case study is also included which helps to understand various concepts ofstrategies and leadership styles followed by firm, use of corporate social responsibility andimpact of CSR is also evaluated in this report. Identifying and explaining the 3 levels of Morrisons and their responsibilities, includingassociated functional areasIt can be said that there are three management levels in Morrison’s such as top levelmanagement, middle level management and operational, supervisory or lower level managementeffectively (Lumen, 2017). The business functions are associated with these management levelswhich help to manage and control all the activities involved in operations as well as internal andexternal. In addition to this, the roles and responsibilities are also different for each level ofmanagement that helps to manage business and its operations.1

Top level management: Top management such as board of directors, president, vice-president and CEO are responsible for managing top level activities in business in order tocontrol the organisation effectively. There are some roles that are also considered by them suchas developing goals, strategic planning, business policies, decision making and direction forMorrison’s. The top level management plays a significant role in mobilisation of outsideresources efficiently. In addition to this, managers are accountable to the shareholders andpublic.Middle level management: Branch managers, general managers and other departmentalmanagers are all examples of middle level management. The functions operated by middle levelmanagement are accountable to top management in Morrison’s effectively. Middle-levelmanagers dedicate more time to business and directional functions than top-level management(Jones Christensen, Mackey and Whetten, 2014). There are several roles and responsibilities ofmiddle level managers such as executing business strategies and plans with company policiesand objectives of top management. They are mainly focused on guiding and directing lower levelemployees in order to drive their performances efficiently.2Illustration 1: Hierarchical view of management in Morrison'sSource: (Lumen, 2017)
