levels such as top, middle, and lower. Main power of organisation is with the top level which
gives order to middle level and these orders are fulfilled by lower level. This type of structure in
which people are recognised by their ranks and status. This structure is also followed by
voluntary organisation which has same ranking. In this structure, there are Board of Directors,
CEO and many directors which belong to different field. This also works the best in most of

country has outsourced its production to other nations which has lower cost of production

firms. It is very complicated to control supply chain and intellectual property rights. The impact
of Brexit is the freedom on selling of products in such type of market situation. Trading of an

make people to attract towards product.
Imitative- There are lot of products and companies are making copy of products which
