Vihaan Textiles Ltd. has decided to enter technical textiles. The CEO now wants to decide who will lead the project, how the work will be divided among departments, and how reporting lines will be set up. Which strategy implementation activity is the CEO primarily undertaking?

The CEO is building an organisational structure and assigning responsibilities.
