Business Structure.

Many companies have much in common in their structures. Top

Management of a corporation consists of the board of directors and the

executive officers. The board of directors determines basic company

policies and appoints the executive officers. These officers include a

chairman of the board or chief executive officer, a president, and a number

of vice presidents. They are responsible for carrying out the decisions of

the board of directors and the stockholders. The executive officers also

select the managers of the various departments of the corporation. The

Managing Director (sometimes called the Chief Executive or the

President in Russia or the USA) is the head of the company.

The Chairman of the Board is in overall control and may not be the

head of any one department.

The number of departments in a corporation depends on the size of

the company and on the nature of the goods and services that it provides.

Most corporations have departments that handle three basic business

activities - production, finance, and marketing.

The Production department consists of several divisions:

Production, Packaging, Distribution, Quality and Maintenance. The

Marketing department plans how to sell new products and may include

Advertising division as well. There may be several divisions in the

Finance department connected with customer accounts, wages and

salaries, financial services, taxation, investment and cash management.

Personnel department recruits new employees and organizes training

courses.

The above-mentioned departments are headed by managers. The

Director is responsible for strategic planning and for making decisions.
