        Everton Engineering’s business structure is organised like this:

                                Shareholders

                                

                                Chairman

                          Managing Directors

                            Board of Directors

                        Department Managers

                                Supervisors

This will make the staff feel more important because they are speaking to more powerful people and this will motivate the staff to work harder. Also it would take the staff five promotions to get to the top in the Everton Engineering business and in TDP it would only take two, this is going to motivate the staff more as well. When staff are motivated then they are working hard and so more better quality and a higher quantity of work is getting done.

It is also a Ltd which means that the shares have been sold to that family members and friend can only by share so most of their views could be the same and so there is very little chance of changing the business.
