INTRODUCTION
Royale Pizza was established in the year 2007. It has grown in scale and currently has been able to make supplies of over 40 different types of classic pizzas. It has been able to offer high customer satisfaction by making deliveries of fresh pizzas. Firm presentation has thus become an important aspect hence a need to make re-modifications (Bauer et.al, 2012). To increase its customer base, the firm has made use of both online and offline channels. This has given the firm the opportunity to reach out to a wide range of customers both local and tourists.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Management Structure
This could be seen as the hierarchy of command. Some firms may have long hierarchies and other may have flatter ones. Generally, the structure has lean management, managers and the strategic managers (Huemann et.al, 2016). Royale Pizza does not have a long hierarchy as shown in figure 1 below.

The organisational structure adopted by the firm is functional in nature where the major departments are sales, accounts, project, marketing and production (Larson & Gray, 2017). The major areas that needed renovation are shown in the table below.

Style and Culture
Culture is the shared norms and values that are assumed by people. They influence the manner in which people work. This also influences the style of communication within the organisation which may be verbal or non-verbal (Levitan, 2009). In addition, language, customer’s attitude and service are all influence the organisational culture. Newton (2015) hypothesised a case of high customer satisfaction as a result of strong organisational culture. Royale Pizza has a diverse customer base, it serves people from different cultural backgrounds and hence needs to maintain a strong culture. This will help improve customer satisfaction. This has made the firm adopt a late night operation strategy to be able to gather more customers. However this might increase the risk of theft.
Levels and Boundaries of Authority
The levels explain the authority one would have in an organisation. It has been reported that authority increases as you go up the organisational structure (Poh et.al, 2001). For instance, the directors will have more authority and power in guiding the project compared to the subordinate staff. In addition, the managers are left to coordinate and control the workers. The manager controls the technicians at the project site and ensures that time is managed properly. Therefore, the project manager has more power and authority while the subordinated have less power and authority on how a project is implemented. For instance, the technical manager in the project has the authority to ensure all operations involving the redesigning, procurement, supplies and recruitment are done effectively.
Personal Skills
This could be seen as what an individual possess which is useful to the achievement of the objective. This will include knowledge and technical knowhow that will lead to effective project implementation (Rose, 2002). This includes essential like planning a project, problem solving skills, ability to change with situations and leadership skills. The technical manager has knowledge on procurement, supplies and leads the others in the project team.
Characteristics of Persons in the Project
Personal characteristics define how individuals are able to work with others and to accomplish their assigned duties. Psychologists argue that a person with good attributes is open minded and thus is able to accommodate changes that are needed for effective project implementation (Sabanov et.al, 2011). In addition, they are conscious of the environment in which they are working and are able to agree with others on how to move forward with different aspects of the project. To ensure effectiveness, the technical manager suggests that construction and installation cannot be done together, instead installation has to come first. Through applying of his technical knowhow, he understands the impact of construction before installation which could be dangerous and cost intensive. He advices on water facets removal due to safety and warns on electric wires below the stair. This illustrated that the technical manager is conversant with the project site and can be able to control activities.
MONITORING AND CONTROL
Time
Time in project implementation has a key role of bringing together all involved stakeholders. Including time spent in different tasks, the progress that can be documented and analysis of activities that take more time than others. Project activities need to be monitored and time needs to be planned to save on costs. It has been reported that proper time management leads to increased productivity and effectiveness (Bauer et.al, 2012). Royale Pizza stipulated project time line runs from 1st March to 30th June. This has to be adhered to as no sales are expected to be made while the project is underway and extension would lead to a penalty of AU$300. Safety inspection will be done after very forty night and will take about 4 hours. The major project activities include designing which could take 1 month, procurement and delivery 2 months, construction 1 month and installation and painting 2 months.

Costs
For a project to be effectively implemented, it is necessary to have an estimated budget of the required amount. This estimates are monitored closely with the actual amount to help in controlling. It is useful in helping the project manager stick to the plan and to effect necessary measures that lead to cost reduction. Hence important aspects of cost including cost estimation, budget preparation and cost control need to be adhered to (Huemann et.al, 2016). The project of re-modifying Royale Pizza is expected to spend about AU$40,000. This will be broken into; designing AU$5,000, procurement and delivery AU$18,000, construction AU$7,000 and installation and painting AU$10,000.
Resources
This are the required material for project implementation. This include resources like equipment, people, funding and facilities (Larson & Gray, 2017). Resources that were required for the project to be effectively implemented included; 3 deep fryers, 2 boilers, 1 dough roller, point of sale system with installation of suitable software and hardware to run it. Also need 2 new...
