Let’s Understand!
Just as different functions in the human body are performed and regulated by different organs,
different functions within a business are performed and controlled by different parts of the business.
Now, let‟s understand more about the functional areas of management.
One of the reasons for separating business operations into functional areas is to allow each to
operate within its area of expertise, thus building efficiency and effectiveness across the business as a
whole. Functional areas in a business vary according to the nature of the market and the size of the
business. For example, manufacturing companies like My Phone and Marikina Shoes have significant
Research and Development (R&D) departments in order to stay in the lead in their respective business
segments. On the other hand, retail companies may have no R&D functional area per se, but will be
heavily invested in Operations areas surrounding with Supply Chain Management.
Do you want to start a business? Then, understand these seven functional areas of management:
Simply put, Human Resource Management (HRM) refers to the application of management
principles to management of people in an organization. This is too simple a statement and fails to
capture the essence of human resource management.
Henry Mintzberg identified 10 roles (read functions) which managers play in organizations. A
typical manager, according to Mintzberg, acts as a monitor, disseminator, spokesperson, figure-head,
leader, liaison, entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator and negotiator. He classifies
4
these ten roles into three broad categories: first three together are called informational role, next three
constitute the interpersonal role, and the decisional role includes the remaining four.
In the same vein, one can attempt to isolate the typical functions of HRM. Eight key HRM
functions together with policies, programmes and practices have been identified, each containing
alternatives from which managers can choose. The roles are:
b. Staffing: Obtaining people with the appropriate skills, abilities, knowledge and experience to
fill jobs in the work organization. Key practices are human resource planning, job analysis,
recruitment and selection.
d. Monitoring: The design and administration of reward systems. HR practices include job
evaluation, performance appraisal, pay and benefits.
e. Maintaining: The administration and monitoring of workplace safety, health, and welfare
policies to retain a competent workforce and comply with statutory standards and regulations.
g. Managing change: This involves helping others to envision the future, communicating this
vision, setting clear expectations for performance and developing the capability to reorganize
people and reallocate other resources.
h. Evaluating: Designing the procedures and processes that measure, evaluate and communicate
the value-added component of HR practices and the entire HR system to the organization.
2. Marketing Management
According to Philip Kotler, “Marketing Management is the art and science of choosing target
markets and building profitable relationship with them. Marketing management is a process involving
analysis, planning, implementing and control and it covers goods, services, ideas and the goal is to
produce satisfaction to the parties involved”.
Marketing Management is both a science as well as an art. Those responsible for marketing
should have good understanding of the various concepts and practices in marketing, communication,
and analytical skills and ability to maintain effective relationship with customers, which will enable
them to plan and execute marketing plans.
a. Focus on customer needs – The needs of the consumer are studied and these become the basis
of all product related activities such as designing, pricing, distribution, packaging etc.
5
b. Providing consumer satisfaction – Every organization aims at providing maximum consumer
satisfaction by understanding his needs and designing an appropriate product. The success of
an organization is directly related to the consumer satisfaction it provides.
d. Achieving organizational goals – Modern marketing states that an organization must aim at
maximizing consumer satisfaction and in the process enable itself to achieve its goals such as
growth, market share and reasonable amount of profit or return on investment.
3. Operations Management
Operations Management is a branch that deals with managing operations and processes within the
organization. Efficacious management of operations ensures successful delivery of the project. The
operation managers optimize the operations by making judicious use of resources and capital. They
manage all the aspects related to the operations that take place in businesses. Operation Managers are
not only found in a company but also in manufacturing units. They are required to perform various
functions as a part of their job responsibilities.
a. Finance

organization‟s finance has been utilized properly to carry out major functions such as the creation of

and controlling all the activities of an organisation which helps in converting the raw materials and

resources and have a competitive edge over others. Business strategies imply to supply chain
configuration, sales, capacity to hold money, optimum utilisation of human resources and many more.
e. Forecasting

occur in the future. In operation management, forecasting refers to the estimation of customer‟s
demand so that production can be done accordingly. Through this, the manager gets to know what to
produce, when to produce and how to produce in accordance with the customer‟s needs.
6
f. Supply Chain Configuration
The main motive of Supply Chain Configuration is to ensure effective management, monitoring
and controlling of all the main activities that are held in a firm. The supply chain configuration starts
from the supply of the raw materials and continues till the production of the final product and then
their selling to the customers which will satisfy their needs and wants.

activities such as procurement and utilization of funds of the enterprise. It means applying general
management principles to financial resources of the enterprise.

future programmes and policies of a concern. Estimations have to be made in an adequate

Basic functionality of materials management includes various factors such as supply, material
pricing, and usage. Taking a more in-depth look at the functions of materials management and how it
is advantageous to your supply chain can enable your production facility to locate areas where aid is
needed. The nature and roles of materials management include the following:
a. Production Control - As production schedules are generated through demand analysis, the
materials that are needed are determined. It is important to find readily available materials to
make sure that production flows smoothly.
b. Purchasing - As production management hands off the materials that are needed, the parts are
then purchased from various and frequent suppliers. Locating quality materials at a reasonable
price can reduce overall cost within the materials management process.

ends.
6. Office Management
It is not enough for any office to carry on its basic functions only. In addition to these basic
functions, the office has to perform several auxiliary functions of vital importance. The auxiliary
functions are more important than primary functions. It is only the auxiliary functions, which ensure
the very existence and purpose of an office. These functions, in fact, help in the performance of the
basic functions of an office:

information in an appropriate manner. It is the duty of the office management to design the forms
that can be used in various departments.
ICT management is the discipline whereby all of the information technology resources of a firm
are managed in accordance with its needs and priorities. These resources may include tangible
investments like computer hardware, software, data, networks and data centre facilities, as well as the
staff who are hired to maintain them.
Managing this responsibility within a company entails many of the basic management functions,
like budgeting, staffing, change management, and organizing and controlling, along with other aspects
that are unique to technology, like software design, network planning, tech support, etc.
Starting a small business is a big step for anyone to take, as it may require leaving the comfort
and security of a regular job for a more uncertain financial future. Small business success may also
require a great deal of planning, enough initial capital to sustain the owner during the start-up period
and possibly a bit of luck. These are a few key reasons why people make the decision to start a small
business.
A. Income Potential
When you start your own business, you have the opportunity to earn an unlimited income
based on your own efforts and the success or failure of the enterprise. This differs from working
for a company where your income may be limited by a salary structure or the evaluation of your
performance by your superiors.
B. Pursuing a Passion
Starting your own business allows you to make a living while pursuing something for
which you have a strong passion. You may have a special talent, such as writing, playing music or
repairing automobiles that you've enjoyed as a hobby. By turning it into a business, you may find
more enjoyment and fulfillment in your work life that can lead to a happier life in general.
9
C. A Good Idea
You may have an idea for a product or service that meets an unfulfilled need in the
marketplace. By turning your idea into a business, you can be the first to meet that need which
can result in a profitable venture. You could profit even more by teaching your idea to others or
by creating a business model, which you can turn into a franchise.
D. New Lifestyle
Starting a business can be a way for those who are tired of the "9-to-5" grind to leave the
corporate world and enter into a more flexible lifestyle. Depending on the type of business you
choose, you may be able to work a more flexible schedule, which can allow you to spend more
time with family and friends. A business can also appeal to those who enjoy making their own
decisions without direction from others.
E. Self-Expression
Owning a business allows you to be more creative and express yourself. You are not
restricted by having to follow a set work methodology, and you're free to change your work
processes if you wish. You can also create additional products or services to meet customer
demands.
Here are 10 steps that are required to start a business successfully. Take one step at a time,
and you'll be on your way to successful small business ownership.
10
Step 6: Get Licenses and Permits
Paperwork is a part of the process when you start your own business. There are a variety of
small business licenses and permits that may apply to your situation, depending on the type of
business you are starting and where you are located. You will need to research what licenses and
permits apply to your business during the start-up process.
