Aquarius Advertising Agency 2 
Part 2: Organizational Strategy and Structure
The consultants were enthusiastic about the proposed structu re. With the removal of one level of district operational supervision, store managers would have more freedom and responsibility. The district liaison team would establish a cooperative team approach to management that could be adopted within stores. Focusing store responsibility on a single manager would encourage coordination within stores and adaptation to local conditions. Ir would also provide a focus of responsibility for storewide administrative changes.
Chapter 2: Structural Design for Organizations
The consultants also believed that the proposed structure could be expanded to accommodate non-grocery lines and gourmet units if these were included in C & C's future plans. Within each store, a new deparrment manager could be added for pharmaq•, gourmet/specialty items, or other major departments. The district team could be expanded to include specialists in these lines, as well as an information technology coordinator to act as liaison for stores in the district.
