Choose a New Zealand business or organisation from any industry.

You may select one of the New Zealand business from the list below, or use one that you are familiar with or have access to information for.
If you make your own choice of business, make sure it meets the following criteria:
It may be a large (more than 20 employees), medium (between five and nineteen employees) or small (five or fewer employees) business. It may be a public or private business, a profit or not-for-profit organisation.
It is a business you are relatively familiar with or one that you can source information about without contacting the business itself. You do not need to have intimate knowledge of this business but have some degree of understanding about the environment in which it operates.
