At the third stage, experts, management consultants, provide each rule with a certain weight that reflects the expert’s opinion about the impact of each particular factor of the internal and external environment on the parameters of the management structure. The strategic set should involve the structural strategy that should include an analysis of the existing structure, the possibility of its adjustment and changes in accordance with the company's competitive strategy, the analysis of external and internal factors that can affect the organizational structure.
