6 Our marketing department is constantly changing, growing, developing. Everyone says it’s
the most dynamic department in the company.

7 We firmly believe that a decentralised management style improves motivation. That’s why
we like to involve a large number of employees from all parts of our organisation in the
decision-making process.

8 We’ve never met the CEO, we know the names of two of the six managers and we hardly
know the people from the other departments. The whole organisation is extremely
impersonal.

9 Our bosses are not particularly open to new ideas and don’t like change. They are deeply
conservative.

10 We think positively about the future, we support change and welcome new ideas. In other
words, we are a typically progressive organisation.
