What type of structure has Rick adopted

Answer 1

Corporate bussiness structure

Explanation:

Rick has adapted the corporate bussiness structure.

In a corporation group, normally there are more than one business units or smaller companies working under the umbrella of one big group. It is managed by the leader of the corporation group but power is cascaded down the business units also. In corporate, the business values remain the same for all the companies, however their strategies can vary depending upon the market of each business sector
