How it opens
Controlled and structured
Activities are structured by regulations and procedures. Responsibilities are more significant than the individuals that fill the roles.
Coordinating, organizing, efficiency oriented
In a hierarchy company culture, the tasks are executed with a high degree of efficiency and accuracy thereby enhancing productivity. Those that are accustomed to their roles can perform their duties with minimum errors and confidence.
Security, conformity, predictability
Leaders in hierarchy company culture emphasize on enhancing the predictability of the whole enterprise. The manager establishes clear performance standards that are adhered to by all employees (Schrage). Leaders in this company culture focus on training, secure in the knowledge that the staff would be retained by the firm for a period that will allow the repaying of their investment.

Using an example well
Read it for how the paper is built, not for wording to reuse: how the introduction frames the question, how each paragraph moves from a claim to evidence, and how sources are cited. Submitting any part of it as your own work would be plagiarism, and it is written for a different brief than yours.
