organization


Explanation:
First, it is European to spell organisation with an "s" - In the USA, it is spelled organization. Secondly, these are both correct depending on what you are trying to say. Example: Scandal is rampant throughout the organization. Example: All cost-saving suggestions will potentially affect the whole organization.

neutral  Richard Benham: Although the Brits prefer the "s", there is nothing wrong with the "z", even there. In any case, the question was about "organization-wide schemes", not about scandal....
