Can anyone be a manager? What does the business world look like today? These questions, which are often raised by students, are answered in the second edition of Business Functions: An Introduction. The book looks at managers and the skills they need and considers various environments – macro, market and micro – that influence a business. It also discusses the different operational and support functions within businesses. These are different for every business: some functions can be combined and performed by an individual, or several functions can each be handled by a specific department. The end goal of the book is an understanding of all the elements involved in a successful business.
