For this assignment, you will use software to design the current organizational chart for the organization that you wrote about in Assignment 1 (Tesla), and then you will create another organizational chart with a proposed design for that organization based on the changes that you would make to the structure of the organization. You can use any type of software that you would like to use for the charts, but be specific with the structure; make sure you have all the major positions for the organization, and be clear with the reporting structure. For consistency purposes, you may want to save your completed charts as a PDF file.

After you have created your charts, you will then clearly and thoroughly describe how the changes in the proposed structure will help to improve the culture.
