A company X Ltd. manufacturing cosmetics, which has enjoyed a pre-eminent position in a business, has grown in size. Its business was very good till 1991. But after that, a new liberalised environment has seen an entry of many MNC's in the sector.
With the result, the market share of X Ltd. has declined. The company had followed a very centralised business model with directors and divisional heads making even minor decisions. Before 1991, this business model had sewed the company very well as consumers have no choice. But now, the company is under pressure to reform.
What organisation structure changes should the company bring about in order to retain its market share?
