well as the gears of hikers. While analyzing the organizational growth of the nominated
organization it is observed that there is a huge significance of the miscommunication as well as
less effective collaboration between the employ and the management of the organization due to

periodic corporate restructuring?
Followed by a thorough analysis on the case scenario of Wild Wear it is identified that the
