The choices of the business plan is significant for an organization in aligning their
amendments for the sustainable growth and the development. The conduction of the same is
in need to be carried out with a precise focus on the presence of the delegation for the

The mentioned organization is seen to have hierarchical form of structure currently.
The vertical line of authority is considered to be the base of such organizational structure
(Morschett, Schramm and Zentes 2015). The mentioned organization, Royal Bank of Canada
is seen to be managed by the Chief Executive Officer of the organization. The various
organizational managers like the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief HR Officer, the head of
management and insurance, heads of other capital, treasury and IT department along with the
other executives of the organization are responsible to report regarding their conduction to
the Chief Executive Officer of the company. The hierarchical structure is seen to be
significant for the large scale organizations and the delegation of the roles further down the
hierarchical structure is seen to be the main justification for it (Aghina, Smet and Heywood
2014). The delegation of such a line that is responsible for the divisions as a whole is
significant in enabling the head of the organizations to be aware of the problems that are
faced by the company’s efforts for the sustainability.

value propositions, key partners, channels, key activities, customer segments along with the

the ecological and social challenges, the plan for the footprint reduction and the youth
welfare activities that expressively correlates with the value proposition of the company and
the tactics for the enhancement of the customer relationships. Thus the organization is able to
adjust the frequently happening changes inside the global business context.
The fundamental activities of the organizations are observed to be in the form of the
management of the investments, the offering of the financial services like the insurances,
loans along with the allowances. Along with that, the list includes the normalised activities
such as general banking like the commercial and personal banking, production of the risk
management services along with the services for the management of the wealth. The changes
in the decision making is considered to be the characterization for the organization in the
adjustments for the sustainability and the contribution to the long term sustainability of the
company and the society from the conduction of the initiatives such as youth welfare and
financial literacy and the footprint reduction is seen to be significant (Fabac 2010).
This will make sure that the external stakeholders of the organization gets benefited
