Create an organizational chart (org chart) of your company based on the initiatives discussed in Week 3. This high-level information is typically found on the company’s website or other websites about the organization. The org chart should include key leadership and level of responsibility. If the information is not public, base your decisions on a similar organization and research. It should include at least 3 levels of leadership; do not include Board of Directors. You may use any Microsoft® program or web-based program. Be sure org chart shows reporting relationships.

Part 2:

Explain in 500 words in APA format the structure of your org chart. Discuss the type of hierarchy and related details of each role. Assess how each role in the organizational chart is related to the other areas within the organization. Use at least 1 business journal article source plus the textbook as citation and reference. Do not rely on company website. No more than 10% of paper should be quoted.

Use APA format (cover page, page number upper right, headings [not Introduction], no first person, no you/your, no contractions, match citations and references)
