Speech External factors such as economic fluctuations, political aspects and pandemics are impacting business by affecting management and performance. As Millennium Airlines is facing challenges associated with climate change, internal politics and pandemics currently, the proper organisational structure is an extension for minimising threats and ensuring the survival of the organisation. Based on current situation of Millennium Airlines, Cooperative M-Form Structure is ideal organisational structure for maintaining chains of command. The reason for considering the Cooperative M-Form Structure as the ideal structure is duplications of Competitive M-forms and SBU M-forms structure that provides benefits of greater controls at the headquarters levels. This structure also focuses on greater standardisation across the organisations which are necessary for dealing with internal and external issues effectively through cooperation and sharing of knowledge. The organisational structure theory is associated with Alfred Sloan concepts used in General Motors of operating as an autonomous body and answerable to the head office (central authority). Roger Thwaites, the Chair of the board, leads headquarters. Based on the Cooperative M-Form structure, governmental affairs and legal affairs are needed to consider key areas for an ideal organisational structure to maintain balance with external environments and internal environments. As Julie Penberthy represents creative in ideas on greener initiatives, strategic goals, marketing capabilities and others she is appropriate for CEO. Under the leadership of Julie, the climate change problems and associated issues of Millennium Airlines can be dealt with in an appropriate manner. For the position of Strategic Group Director, Clarence Bigg is perfect as Clarence and Julie have a great understanding and under Cooperative M-from structures collecting efforts can help in organisational growth and development. However, based on the elites and strength of the stakeholders, Ralph Inskpsen is good for CIO positions, Karen Barlow can handle the role of Group Director of Marketing better than strategy. For the position of HR Group, Director Grace Cavusgil is perfectly based on skills and capabilities. Terminations of the members that are not contributing to the growth of the company are necessary parts of the successful restructures. Therefore, members like Naresh who fail in financial management, and James Jarvis that focus on sabotaging HR initiatives needed to be released. The existence of the political games within Millennium Airlines made it difficult to depend on an ideal structure to deal with problems for organisational survival and growth. The ideal structure of cooperative M-form structure holds the challenges of communications and corporations which are challenges in decisions and strategic development. Therefore, the recommended corporate level strategy for the structure of Millennium Airlines is the SBU-M form structure. The SBU M-Form structure has the benefits of sharing product or market competencies; also it allows all SBU in engaging on developed economies. The decision theory is applicable for managing internal and external factors in Millennium Airlines. Roger needed to be in the highest position of decision-making and Julia as the CEO also has a high position in making strategic decisions. The headquarter office requires Chairs of Boards and the CEO department for guiding in managing organisational directions. As Naresh Singh has 30plus years of experience with Millennium Airlines keeping him in the CFO position is suggested. Karen Barlow is a young mother so marketing positions are better as compared to strategic positions, therefore, Karena and Clarence positions can be exchanged based on the non-elite category. Here, the consideration of non-decision-making for Flamingo Air seems appropriate to retain Leon Compton as FM of Flamingo Air as Millennium Airlines requires financial support. Additionally, Company Secretary Linda Kenyon and CIO Ralph Inskspen can help in collaborative efforts for overcoming issues and the development of the organisation.
