N.Z Police and Auckland International Airport
This essay will analyse two complex organisations; The New Zealand Police and The Auckland International Airport. The purpose and structure of both organisations will be discussed. Furthermore, two theories will provide a framework as to why both structures are effective. These two theories are Henry Fayol’s classical management theory and Max Webber’s bureaucratic theory. The communication challenges faced by both organisations and the aspects of leadership communication within both organisations will be discussed. Finally, the role that ethics and values play in both organisations will be discussed.
The first organisation to be discussed is the New Zealand Police. The New Zealand Police is a complex organisation that actively serves the needs of New Zealand citizens on a daily basis. It is the lead agency responsible for reducing crime and enhancing community safety in New Zealand. (New Zealand Police, 2012). The purpose of this organisation is to prevent crime within New Zealand and protect New Zealand citizens. The organisation operates by land, sea and air and is made up of 12 districts throughout New Zealand. The New Zealand police operate in over 400 community based stations throughout these districts and involve over 11,000 staff members. There are many different levels of authority within this organisation, therefore many different policies and procedures must be followed by different members of the organisation.

The Police Commissioner is at the top of the ranks and two deputy commissioners report to him-Resource Management and Operations. Five New Zealand police executives report to the Deputy Commissioner of Human Resources and six report to the Deputy Commissioner of Operations. Out of those six, two assistant commissioners report to the deputy commissioner of operations- Upper North and
