the organisation. Unified marketing messages help entire organisation to understand the
marketing goals in a better way and work together for achieving them. Even if multiple
departments get involved in the endeavour the unified message of marketing might be essential
to the success of project. Traditional organisation structure eventually strengthens the
communication among different employees at a particular level as well as different employees
and different levels of the organisation. It facilitates communication including cross cultural
communication because any in social organisation people must communicate in different
languages so that the needy people get them without any hesitation (Faria et al. (2014).
