institutional context into which it is being placed, it is my recommendation that Appex undergo a substantive restructuring. For a company of Appex’s size in this rapidly-evolving, technologically-oriented market a matrix structure is best suited for enabling innovation, performance, and growth.

for to analyse the action-response relationship can be studies by a matrix called Comparative Response Matrix. Comparative Response Matrix: The Comparative Response Matrix is an important tool used to study the competition between two companies. The matrix has three parameters namely Price, Quality and Advertisement. These three parameters give a 3x3 matrix which give us nine different action-response parameters. The matrix can be drawn as follows: COMPANY B(Response) | COMPANY A(Action)
