Hybrid Organizations blur the boundary between for profit and non-profit: they serve a social or environmental purpose yet utilized for-profit business model in order to sustain their mission. Examples include Ten Thousand Villages, which is a non-profit that acts as a retailer for artisans around the world seeking to sell their products and earn a living. Or there is Seventh Generation, a for-profit that sells environmentally-safe products and makes this the basis of its brand. Common commercial functions of this type of organization include selling a product that is environmentally safe or that helps achieve a social good -- such as the livelihood of a minority group (Haigh, Hoffman, 2012).

The common commercial function of a manufacturer is that it supplies parts and goods for the economy, which people need for their lives to function properly: people need cars, buildings, furniture, etc.
Trading Companies act as importers or wholesalers. They keep , etc. -- virtually anything that is bought and sold is something a trading company may be interested in.

The visualization helps to improve the overall process by allowing workers to see how the parts of the organization fit together.

It is also a way for the process to be documented for future reference so that later people can know how a process or endpoint was achieved. The process map outlines the steps (Biazzo, 2002).
The relationship map shows how the parts of an organization are related or how they fit together. It will typically include aspects such as the supplier, the input, the throughput, the output and the customer. It visualizes the entire chain of variables and parts…
