Question pretext
I would now like to ask you some questions related to innovation in organization or management. Please note that these changes in organization or management do not necessarily need to be related to other innovations, such as product or process innovations.
All questions are about the situation in financial years [insert FY] and [insert FY-2].
Literal question
In financial year [insert FY], how many employees reported directly to the Top Manager of this establishment? (An employee who reports directly implies the employee meets with the Top Manager on a regular basis (middle manager)).
