In order to do this you will have to contact the owner or manager of the company for gathering information through face-to-face interviews and through secondary data, such as published sources. You will then summarize your findings and produce a written report. You will gain a rich picture of the way the company operates by doing your research personally. The organization has to be big enough to offer insight into the way organisations work and must employ at least 20 people and have 3 levels in its hierarchy.
