Company organization

A business company is an institution established for the purpose of making profit. It’s a big organization which is operated by individuals. Their share of ownship is represented by shares. In order to operate successfully a big company has to have its strategy. The company strategy must be flexible enough and take into account the changing market conditions. The main objective here is to gain a market share, and in order to achieve it, it’s necessary to reduce prices. But if you reduce prices, your margines will be lower, and that will cut profits.

If you can slowly increase production, you will be able to cut unit costs though it seems to be a long-term prospect. Unit costs can come down f you invest in new plants and machines. Let’s try to define the company strategy from the point of view of the market and manufacturing.

If you think that increased market share is the main objective in the company strategy, you are highly mistaken. First of all you should go in for a higher profits. If you can upgrade the products, you are sure to get better prices and therefore higher profits.

You should bear in mind that the market is very competitive flow. If you increase prices, whatever the quality, sales may drop rapidly. Let s look

at the problems from, the manufacturing view-point. If you can reduce, costs in / manufacturing, it’ll put you in a strong position and enable you to adapt to the market The only way you can become flexible, enough is to subcontract more of the pro, duction. It means job .loses f you cp do that, but the, jobs which remain will be more secure.

The typical organization of a company is as follows. At the top there’s the Board of Directors. Their job is to administrate the company, make general policies, and so

on. There are two kindsof directors: so to say non-executive directors (not full-time I employees). They are the sort of pe9ple who have some standing in various parts of

the business world and are in a position to help the company to succeed. They only appear when there are meetings of the Board. But the second lot of directors — the executive directors — are full-time employees of the company. Most of them are managers of the departments.

The absolute head of the company is the Chairman of the

Board, and his job is to take the chair at meetings of the ‘shareholders, and the Board of Directors, and to represent the company’s inferests at outside functions. He does not take much part in

the running of the business. Then comes the Managing Director whose job is to coordinate the policies decided by the directors, and see that they are implemented. It is carried out through various departmental managers. The first one is the Prduction manager, who is responsible for seeing that our products are made properly and on time: The Marketing Manager’s main job is to sell the products. Then there’s the Purchasing Manager, who makes sure we have the raw materials for the Production Manager to make the products. Then comes the Chief Accountant, who is in charge of the financial picture of the company and keeps books. Then there’s the Company Secretary, whose job is to organize the work of the Board of Directors. And the Personnl Manager brings up the rear. He recruits people to work / in the company, and looks after their welfare.
