Phoenix Propulsion Labs is a business run on the basis of military protocol, organization and structure. The way that this has been set up will allow for the easy dissemination of information to all executive/command staff and to the rest of the Corporation as a whole. It will also allow for pilot career and rank advancement based upon productivity and achievement. We have instated a number of programs which are designed to look after our employees and see that they, as well as the Corporation, are rewarded financially as well as able to advance their characters within the game.

CORPORATE DIVISIONS

Phoenix Propulsion Labs is divided into two Divisions which are headed up and overseen by an executive branch. Each division has primary roles to play within the Corporation but every member within both Divisions is expected to be able to contribute to any and all situations as required at that time. The reason for this freedom is two fold. It allows your employees the freedom to do whatever strikes their fancy at any given time and because it allows the Corporation to task jobs to employees as they are online and required. This type of flexibility is crucial to making a Corporate organization succeed and advance within the world of EVE.


EXECUTIVE BRANCH

Many Corporations within existence today over complicate things with Boards of Directors, High Councils, Supreme Leaders Council and many other forms of governing. Because of the size, organization and direction of the Phoenix Propulsion Labs these facets of administration become obsolete.

Phoenix Propulsion Labs is run by a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Financial Officer, both men also hold military ranks of Fleet Admiral and Adjutant General respectively. These executives are responsible for the direction and decisions of the Corporation. Each Division head also has access and input in this office and may attend meetings as "advisors". They are the direct link to the pulse of each Division.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Chief Executive Officer
This person is considered to be the direct will and soul of the Corporation. His word is law. He has the power to command and direct both Divisions at will and can deploy either as per requirement.

He also has the final word on any issue involving the Corporation, its operations, procedures, finances and interactions within the community itself. This officer holds the military rank of Fleet Admiral.

Chief Financial Officer
The barer of this rank assists the commanding officer and is responsible for ensuring that each Division and its personnel are aware of the CEO's orders and the direction of the company.

Also the Chief Financial Officer handles all Corporate finances, stock programs and funds. In essence it is the Corporate equivalent to a military Quartermaster. The CFO / Adjutant General holds the military rank of Admiral.
