TEAM Roles & Responsibilities

Marketing Department is responsible for creating demand and selling the company's products successfully in the face of competition from rival companies. To do this successfully, you must review the marketplace and the competition, prepare strategic marketing plans, and make decisions that activate plan implementation both in the short term and long term.

TEAM Roles & Responsibilities

PRODUCTION & DISTRIBUTION

Production Department is responsible for making and distributing the company's products as efficiently and economically as possible (all within the standards of quality set by the Marketing Dept.). This implies working with Marketing to ensure that their forecasts for demand can be met by a sufficient flow of products, both in the short term and the long term. It also implies working Human Resources to ensure that there is sufficient labor to do the job at reasonable cost.

TEAM Roles & Responsibilities

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Human Resources Management/Department (HRM) is responsible for ensuring that the company has sufficient workers to function properly and that the workforce is not just efficient, but also well-motivated.

Workers must be found in a competitive labor market, within which people can move from company to company seeking the best terms and conditions. The supply of people in the labor market can significantly affect your company's ability to operate efficiently. HRM implies monitoring the labor market, working with the other functional departments in the company to forecast what demand for labor will be, and taking steps both in the short and long terms to make sure that HRM targets are met.

TEAM Roles & Responsibilities
