Answer preview
As companies seek growth, global expansion becomes the most opportune moment to achieve such mission (Boddy, 2014). Establishing a particular line of products to offer in the new country should be strategically done. As Cisco desires to expand into England, it intends to develop its activities in the internet category especially the WAN (Wide Area Networks). Therefore, management and organizational structure chosen must be in tandem with the company’s objectives as well as resources (Vidgen et al., 2017). Since the company is a global conglomerate, a hierarchical structure would be ideal for the company. A technological firm has plenty of decisions to make, therefore, democratic leadership will engage all technical expertise in decision-making.
