After a lot of time and difficulty, I have finally got back access to my Tencent Weibo microblog. Previous posts on this issue: I communicated with several Tencent employees, using e-mail addresses I found via Google search, as there were no useful/working links or e-mail addresses to be found on (the English language version of) Tencent Weibo itself. Again they recommended the "Lost password" process even though I told them several times and in several ways that I had not lost my password. Eventually they gave me back access to my account without having to go through the standard (and deeply flawed) account recovery process. After that, I was also finally able to set up security questions for my account, which has been a big problem throughout this, because answering these questions is crucial to getting back access to a Tencent account, even though the whole idea of security questions was not in the English version of setting up a Tencent account when I created my account.  Cartoon from XKCD about security questions. Based on my latest experience, it seems that Tencent have translated a few more pages to English since I first created my account and since I first lost access to it. But there are still a lot of things missing from the English version of Tencent Weibo (like a help page!). And I have still never received a useful explanation about why I was denied access to my account. But I will give Tencent Weibo another try. So here's my Tencent Weibo:
Update 2015-10-24: Fixed a few vocabulary links and added a few more. Updated current Apple senior people image & info. Added Wikipedia & Investopedia links on corporate titles and structure.

Unfortunately there are many, many ways of structuring an organization and many, many ways of giving and using job titles.
Some titles that can be at different levels in different situations:
Organizations will use different titles, or similar titles in different ways. It really does vary.
Here I'll try to give some explanation and examples of corporate structure, with org charts (also known as organograms) of different companies.

There are usually two groups of people at the top of a company.
Company directors who are not also managers are non-executive directors (or outside directors). See more info here: Example: Apple Inc.
Here are a couple of links for a real company, Apple. The first is from 2011, when Steve Jobs was still CEO. (Source)
