Organisational Structure of Gillette : Gillette is a brand of Procter & Gamble currently used for safety razors, among other personal care products. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, it is one of several brands originally owned by The Gillette Company, a leading global supplier of products under various brands, which was acquired by P&G in 2005. Their slogan is "The Best a Man Can Get". The original Gillette Company was founded by King Camp Gillette in 1895 as a safety razor manufacturer.
On October 1, 2005, Procter & Gamble finalized its purchase of The Gillette Company. As a result of this merger, the Gillette Company no longer exists. Its last day of market trading—symbol G on the New York Stock Exchange—was September 30, 2005. The merger created the world's largest personal care and household products company. In addition to Gillette, the company marketed under Braun, Duracell and Oral-B, among others, which have also been maintained by P&G.
The Gillette Company's assets were initially incorporated into a P&G unit known internally as "Global Gillette". In July 2007, Global Gillette was dissolved and incorporated into Procter & Gamble's other two main divisions, Procter & Gamble Beauty and Procter & Gamble Household Care. Gillette's brands and products were divided between the two accordingly.

The Big Five Personality falls under the perspective of individual differences. These are: Extraversion – means a person is, talkative, sociable, and assertive. It is an energetic approach to the social and material world. .Agreeableness – this means that a person is good natured, altruistic, co-operative and trusting. Conscientiousness – describes a person with tight impulse control that facilitates task and goal-directed behavior, such as thinking before acting, delaying gratification, following norms and rules and the like. The person is responsible, orderly, and dependable. Neuroticism –the reverse of emotional stability. This means a person is anxious, prone to depression and worries a lot. Openness – means a person is imaginative; independent minded and has divergent thinking.


Organizational structure is also a key element in this phase. The John Edwards scenarios prove that the public relations department is crucial in limiting devastating, negative press. However, a strong organization structure is necessary to perform much of the tradition “grunt” work, including the production of campaign buttons, the placement of yard signs, and the calling of voters to encourage their primary vote. Incumbent Presidents may find this area easier to manage given that they may hold over their previous organizational structure instead of forming a new structure prone to kinks and inefficiencies. By the time that an incumbent President is seeking his or her second term, the organizational structure should be solid. This represents an obstacle to challengers within the party who must face an uphill battle to prove not only their worth, but also their ability to maintain a functional basis to gain an advantage over incumbents.

The organization structure is also a requirement to address the strategic environment. Candidates must be prepared to answer quickly and effectively to new allegations and attacks from party members and opposition candidates. Fueled by the media, this conflict is essentially a resource war for which candidate can secure the most positive press and dish out the most negative towards challengers.

The primary phase leads up to the convention phase, a four-day process where the each party nominates a single candidate for president. However, the politics leading up to the event are some of the determining factors in selecting a single nominee. Thus, media recognition and a strong campaign structure are necessary to navigate the political environment.
