The inside feeling of the employees regarding the environment should be more "family like" and not that much "business like," being a company where employees would happily come to work. As called by Cameron and Quinn, this is a Clan Culture and it would be the ideal situation to be obtained, with high level of involvement of all employees in the life and future of the company (Cameron, Quinn, 1999; Denison, 1990)..

Locations of the Organization

For the initial phase, laboratories and production should start in the specific Latin American country to be decided (most probably Brazil), and the Headquarters in the U.S.A. should commence the commercial and tactical activity.

The commercial offices should be installed in consumer-high regions, in order to decrease the costs of transportation of products from the pre-established warehouses. The same strategy should be used also for the Latin American operations, where X-Quisite should have its commercial offices close to where potential high sales could be registered.

Therefore, in terms of environment, X-Quisite should mitigate and - where possible - eliminate all harmful impacts its activity could bring to the environment, having as its outmost important goal the one of becoming a "carbon-neutral" company by 2010.

In such a way, X-Quisite can hope to avoid any political issues (environmentally related) that might appear from an incorrect use of the natural resources in a different country, matters that "green" NGOs or political parties would not hesitate to attack.
