Introduction
Business management is important for any type of business. There are
many types of businesses which are launched from time to time. Proper

working properly for any business then it will lead to losses. There are
large and small businesses but management is important for them. If a
business is large then there will be departments for management. If a
business is small then the management is done by the owner.
There are businesses in which a person is required to do all the tasks.
That person is the owner and also the manager of the business. He must
work with care and perform all the tasks of management and other areas
in order to get success. Small businesses have no partners and there are
no special needs for financial accounts as the single person could use
any method for keeping records of transactions. In case of large
companies it is important to have proper financial accounts through

concerned parties.
Many partners are also working together in different types of businesses.

required for working. Many businesses are small at the time of start. It
could also be the case that one person is starting the business. That
person will be the manager of the business and also the worker in that
business. All the tasks of that business are to be done by that one person.
With the passage of time if the person is doing well then he will get
more orders and more clients. When the work load will be increased
then the person will need help from others. This will be obtained by
hiring others and management of their tasks. This will increase the

not increasing their businesses too much for making companies. Profits
of small businesses are limited and they are not taking huge loads. There
are different limits for small businesses in which they are working and
they are not crossing those limits. Large companies are mostly made
with the first step and plans. These are having many people who are
ready to work together right from the beginning. A company could be
produced by a single person if he is increasing profits and expanding the
areas of working with time. Companies are also made by having many
workers together who have financial resources and plans for starting the

policies of competitors who are making a lot of money in a certain area
and use them so that they can also get benefits.

are giving products in different price ranges which are different in terms
of quality. Clients have many options for dealing with businesses as they
can pay less for getting items with reduced quality. Management can

of the business if they are interested. Some investment is required in
such mode of advertisement so that the papers could be printed and
distributed to other people. Some people could be hired for this work by
management.
42 Business Management
These people will be responsible for giving papers by hand to people
who could become clients. Different types of announcements by the
business could be done in this manner. Papers could be distributed by
hand and also could be thrown in houses of people. When papers are
printed and thrown in homes of people then they check the papers and
get in dealings if they are interested. Management can send
advertisement papers to many people in their homes and expect to get a
lot of exposure and chances of many sales.
It is not required to have expensive papers as simple papers could be
used for printing and spreading for others. This mode of advertisement is
fast and could result in getting good results in the form of a lot of
exposure in a short time period. Magazines are distributed from many
companies and these are providing advertisement services. Full or half
page advertisement could be used in famous magazines. Many people
43 Business Management
are reading those magazines, which can see the advertisement and
become customers of the business.
Management has to make selection from many modes of advertisement.
It is good to start different modes of advertisement in the beginning
when the business is new. This will increase awareness among people
and they will come and check the products and services of the business.
When the business is providing reliable services and products to users
then the clients will become permanent and come back for getting more
products and services.

Chapter 2
Human resource management
Large businesses have many employees which are working in different
departments. Management in business is required to handle and work
with them. Business management must make sure that there is a fair
system of working and earning in the business. There must be rules and
regulations which must be followed in the business environment. Good
incentives must be given to hard working employees so that they could
work well for the business.
There are also disputes in the business environment due to which
management is required to take some serious decisions. In such cases it
is important to follow rules which are equal for all the concerned parties.
In some cases there is requirement of changes in business. There are
different types of resistances for changes in the working from time to
time. Management in any business is required to deal with these types of
45 Business Management
problems and provide all the details so that the parties related with the
business could work in support of the required changes.
Small businesses which have no employees are not suffering with
problems of management of employees but these have small number of
profits and reduced areas of working as compared with large companies.
Large companies are enjoying large profits and earnings but they have to
make sure that the human resources are properly managed at all levels.
Management of any business is required to make rules and regulations
for dealing with parties with the business.
There are internal parties which are to be handled through management
of any business. Proper management of human resources is leading to
get good results in the form of profits and benefits. Businesses are using
humans as resources and they must be managed for getting good results.
Management must check ways through which working and morale of
workers could be improved. If the employees in a business are working
46 Business Management
with high morale and they are eager to contribute for the success of the
business then it will give good results for the business. Management
must make sure that the business has a supportive environment.
When the workers in a business are supporting each other then they will
help each other in achievement of targets of the business. Management
must make such environment in the business through which all the
workers could work. There must be incentive scheme which is based on
workers who will work harder as compared with others. Such schemes
are attractive for workers and they like to get them by working hard.
Options could be given to workers so that they can work more than the
routine hours.
This will give them, benefits in the form of extra payment for more
working and the business will get benefits in the form of more outputs.
Large companies are in need of good employees who can work for their
success. Management is looking for experienced workers who can
47 Business Management
contribute towards the success of any business. People are willing to
work in such companies which have good reputation and which are
providing good opportunities to them for growth and progress with time.
Management must set an environment so that the workers can work by
supporting each other and achieve the targets of the business.
Management can make teams in a business and different types of tasks
could be given to them. There must be incentives for achievement of the
targets and competition could be increased among different types of
teams. Such types of working will lead in more work from employees
and they will support their teams for getting success.
Leaders could be made for all the teams in a large company and
management will be dealing with those leaders for checking the progress
of teams. Management can make division of workers in different ways
which will give results in the form of more information and control.
Those teams which are performing well could be given incentives and
48 Business Management
those teams which are not performing well could be given warnings.
Division of workers in teams will highlight the hard working workers
and management could give them incentives so that they can work
harder for getting mutual benefits.
Those workers which are highlighted as normal for the business could be
encouraged to work harder through incentive schemes. Those workers
which are proved to be harmful for the business could be given
warnings. If the workers are not improving their mode of working then
they could be eliminated and replaced with productive workers.
Management must take serious steps so that the business remains filled
with high quality of workers. In case of reduction in number of workers
it is important to make selection of the best workers who have proved to
be useful for the business.
Firing workers from any business is a tough decision for the
management and there is a lot of resistance in such cases. If business is
49 Business Management
firing workers due to their bad working then the resistance could be
reduced but if firing is done on the basis of reduction of costs of
production then resistance could be huge. Management must handle with
such cases and make plans so that all types of resistance could be
eliminated. It is important for management to check the performance of
workers from time to time.
This will keep the workers active and engaged in the business. When the
workers are aware that management is checking them then they are not
able to work in a lazy manner. When workers are not checked and left
without setting special goals and targets for them then it is bad for the
business. Workers are working lazily if they are not checked regularly
and this will result in losses for the business. Management must make
sure that all the workers are working actively and engaged in success.
In case of fights among workers it is important for management to take
serious steps. Such steps could result in elimination of such workers who
50 Business Management
are not willing to make improvements in their behaviors. Management
must issue warnings and give chances to fighting workers so that they
can have good relations. In many cases the causes of fighting among
workers are eliminated through management and no serious steps are
required. In few cases the causes are very serious and results are
obtained by firing workers from their jobs.
Management must have rules for business which are related with hiring
and firing of workers. When management is following rules for all the
hirings and firings of workers then there will be no resistance from
workers. Management can set a merit system for workers and continue
to take tests of their abilities from time to time. This will check the
knowledge and experience of workers and also help in improvements of
their working.
Active management actions could help in keeping the workers active
and working hard for the success of business. Management must make
51 Business Management
selection of such workers who can work hard for the business. Ads could
be given for getting applications from many workers for open posts so
that top class workers could be selected in the budget of the company for
getting success.
52 Business Management
Chapter 3
Financial for business
Financial issues are important for any type of business. Management in
the business is required to make sure that the business is working as per
its financials. In case of small businesses there are small finances while
large businesses have large finances. Management in business is
required to find sources through which finances could be gathered and
used for normal working.
There are detailed financial statements in businesses which are used for
getting information about the financial status. Reliable sources could be
used for getting finances for the business. Many businesses are taking
loans from creditors in the form of cash or raw materials for making
products. Many items in a business are given to debtors on the basis of
some agreements for long term business relations. All these agreements
are based on financials.
53 Business Management
If a business is working well then it will have strong financials. In order
to survive for a long time period any business must have strong
financials. Financial resources are accumulated with time when the
business is working well. Management must make sure that the business
is working well and increasing its financials with time. If the financials
are not increasing with time then it will be harmful for the business. For
a business to increase benefits and get profits it must get more financials
through profits.
Getting financial resources from others in the form of debts is not going
to give good results if the business is not making profits from them.
After some time the business has to return all the debts to others and if it
has not made any profits then this will lead to the elimination and loss of
the business. Management in the business is responsible for making sure
that the business has reliable plans which could be achieved.
54 Business Management
When the business is working as per plans then it will get more financial
resources with time which will result in long life of the business and
profits for all the concerned parties. Management of a business must
check different types of financial resources for any business. There are
many modes of getting financial resources for any type of business.
Loans could be obtained from banks on a certain percentage which must
be returned after a certain time period.
Procedures of banks must be followed for getting loans and using them
for the purposes of the business by management. Banks can give loans to
businesses in the form of cash which can be used by management for
performance of routine tasks of business. Many other businesses are also
used for getting financial assistance by large businesses and companies.
This is in the form of taking items without making payments. Businesses
have agreements with different companies for getting items now and
making payments later with some extra payment for late payment.
55 Business Management
Many businesses are getting finances through people in the form of
capital. Shares of businesses are sold to people and they are given
incentives in the form of profits after a certain time period. Different
businesses are offering different offers for people so that they can get
shares and get a part in the ownership. Many people like to invest in
successful companies so that they can earn a return on their investment
after some time period.
Terms and conditions are outlined by management of businesses so that
dealings in shares could be completed with ease and give good results in
the form of profits. Those businesses which have many investors and
selling many shares are making a lot of money. Management is
responsible to invest this money in useful projects so that returns could
be given to all the investors. Those businesses which are having a
history of giving good returns to all the investors are able to attract more
and more investments.
56 Business Management
Shares of businesses are traded in stock markets and some changes are
continued. Shares of some companies are increased in values while some
companies are suffering with reductions on values of shares from time to
time. People who have purchased shares of a company at reduced value
are able to sell them when the value is increased. This gives them profits
and they are able to make investments again for earning more profits.
Those people who have invested in getting shares at high price and now
the prices are reduced could suffer from losses if they sell at reduced
prices. Many people are in need of money and they have to sell at
reduced prices if the values of shares are decreased after some time
period. Stock market is filled with shares from different types of
companies and investors are engaged on a regular basis for making
investments and making money.
Management must set realistic prices so that it could attract many
investors for getting shares. When shares of the business will be sold in
57 Business Management
huge amount then the prices could be increased in order to do the
business or decreased for checking results. Ups and downs in prices of
shares are a continuous process and it is giving results in the form of
profits and losses for the concerned parties. Management must check
different options for getting financial assistance for business. Large
businesses are starting with some loans from banks or other sources.
Management must make sure that the loans are used in profitable
schemes so that profits could be obtained for making payments of the
loans. Profits are also given to share holders of the business in the form
of dividends. Management of the company is deciding about the amount
and percentage of dividends which can be given to members of the
companies. If the business is working well and making a lot of money
then all the members are able to get more shares from the profits. If the
business is suffering from losses then members are not able to earn
money in the form of dividends.
58 Business Management
While taking loans from outside sources it is important to give some
property or any other thing as security. Management must check the
items which can be given on behalf of the business so that loans could
be secured. Shares are given to outside people by giving them
membership in the company. Many companies are using the options for
selling shares for getting finances from people.
This mode is giving instant results in the form of more and more money
but results must be good so that more investors could be attracted with
time. Management of the business must have some amount in spare so
that continuous supply of financial resources is available when needed.
Businesses are required to take decisions related with huge investments
which require instant supply of money. If the management has money
then it can make investment without making delays and get results in the
form of benefits for the business.
59 Business Management
Those businesses are successful which are able to increase their financial
resource with time. Finances are needed for normal working of any
business. Management must use different sources for getting financial
resources. Proper records and calculations must be used for making sure
that the financial resources are controlled and used in a proper manner.
If the business is making money then it can use it for investment in the
business for getting updated items for the production process.
Investment from the business could also be done in other businesses in
order to earn money in the form of profits. Management must invest
money of the business in such schemes which are secure and can
generate money and profits. It is good to use different schemes so that
the losses of one scheme could be covered through profits of another
scheme.
If a business has obtained finances through different sources but losses
are occurring then management must change the plans and working
60 Business Management
procedures. Reviews from management in the working of any business
are important and can highlight many problems. These problems could
be eliminated by proper plans and working. If management has obtained
loans from outside parties for increasing the finances of the business
then plans must be made for returning the loans. It is good to return the
loans on time so that loans could be obtained in future.
Businesses are in need of loans from financial institutions and they can
build trust among the lenders by dealing in a fair manner. If management
is not able to return the loans on time then it is hard to get more loans in
future. Management must work hard to build a strong financial
foundation of the business. When the business will have financial
resources and incomes through profits then it will be able to return all
the loans and get rid of extra charges.
If a business is not having enough finances then it will not be able to pay
the amounts of all the workers. Such businesses are not able to run
61 Business Management
normally and they have to be eliminated so that the charges could be
paid by selling the assets of the business. Management is also involved
in such actions and selling the assets of the business when it is not able
to continue.
This will give money so that the applicable charges and wages of
workers could be paid. Management must keep the financial plans
updated from time to time as it is required to remain updated as per the
changes in the market situations. When the situations are favorable then
management must invest in schemes which will give benefits and
profits. If the conditions are not good then management must control the
investment and wait for favorable times.
Different financial institutes are offering different types of schemes
through which money can be made and earnings could be increased.
Financial resources could be increased by management by using ways
which are leading to get more money. Management must invest in short
62 Business Management
and long schemes so that money could be made through them and used
in normal manner. When management is making investment in different
types of schemes then it is helpful for making money. Management must
take start by small investment.
If the results are good then management can increase the amount of
investment. If the results are not good then management must look for
other areas of investment. There are many options available with the
management through which investment can be made and financial
resources could be increased. Profits and losses are part of any business
and management must be prepared for dealing with all types of
situations when making investments.
Management could check the working and progress of the business by
checking the progress reports. This will highlight the areas which are
making a lot of money so that management could focus on them for
making more profits. Those areas which are not working well could also
63 Business Management
be highlighted so that management could focus on them and improve
them. Those areas which are working in losses could be left by
management so that focus could be transferred to profitable areas.
Regular checking and updating from management about financial
working of the business is giving results in the form of better working
and more profits for the business.

Chapter 4
Communication skills
Management in business must have good communication skills. It is
important for a business to communicate well with its clients.
Management is communicating on behalf of businesses and they must be
aware of ways of delivering their messages properly. Clients are in need
of timely responses and answers from businesses.
Many clients are looking for new offers and promotions from businesses
so that they can take part in them. Management in business must give
timely information to clients with proper means so that they can take
actions. If queries are asked from clients then businesses must respond
quickly so that the clients could get satisfaction. Large companies are in
need of communication by management with the staff from time to time.
65 Business Management
This will give help in the form of communication of all the required
policies for the employees. Different types of meetings could be
arranged in the businesses by management in which different types of
issues are to be discussed. Management must make sure that all the
parties in the meetings are taking part properly and giving their
contribution in the form of useful knowledge.
Businesses have to communicate with the outside world and also with
the employees working in the business. Management in any business is
required to deal with all types of communications. There are
departments in large companies for communication which are talking
and sharing information on the behalf of companies. Authority is given
to certain people by large companies through which they can share
information with outside world.
Many types of options are available by businesses through which they
can communicate with others. Inside communications could be done by
66 Business Management
using notices on notice boards from management for all the staff
members. Outside communications could be done when asked by the
clients through phone or emails. Announcements could be made by
businesses through ads which will give details about the major changes
or other offers for clients.
Timely and effective communication is required by any type of business.
With good communication skills any business could get success through
management. Management must give information about important
points in a timely manner. All the announcements made by the business
must be checked by management so that the errors could be eliminated
and details could be provided. People are looking for exact information
without extra details. Management must communicate in an effective
manner with the outside world regarding all the announcements.
This will give details to outside world and others will be able to learn
more about the business. When management is giving extra details
67 Business Management
which are boring and not related with the issue then people will not
check the details and leave the information. It is important to make
messages in a professional manner, which are to be delivered to outside
world.
Communication inside the business by management must be done in
such a manner that all the concerned parties could get notice and details.
Many options are available by management so that communications
could be completed inside the business. There could be a system of
emails which will be sent through management to all the employees.

information could be displayed for all the employees.
Memorandum is another mode of sending information from
management to all the concerned parties inside the business.
Management must communicate well at all levels. It is important for
management to represent the business in a professional manner. When
68 Business Management
the details about the business are given to the outside world in a
professional manner then good results could be obtained. A business has
to communicate with other businesses in routine working for
performance of routine tasks.
This communication is to be done by management by using standard
procedures. Standard modes of communications must be used through
formats which are running in the business world. When businesses are
communicating well with the internal and external parties then good
results and actions will be obtained which will result in profits for all the
concerned parties. It is important for management to listen to the
feedbacks while communicating so that further communications could
be planned.
Same modes could be used for getting feedbacks or contact details could
be given through which feedbacks from others could be obtained.
Timing for communications and contacts with management must be
69 Business Management
given so that people could follow the times and get instant responses. It
is not possible for all the businesses to have communication channels
opened all the time.
When a business has automated systems and workers available for
communicating all the time then this ability could be highlighted for
getting responses from people. If a business is not providing
communication facilities all the times then it must give the exact time
periods in which communications could be done. This will give good
results in the form of instant responses from professionals when they are
calling. This method is helpful for getting instant results and
communications from professionals.
People like to get in contact with professionals for checking details on
different matters of the business. Communication must be polite with
people so that they can become clients and become impressed with good
behaviors. Management must welcome the callers and other people who
70 Business Management
are engaged in communications through different means. Effective
communication from management is liked by people at all levels.
This will make a good reputation of the business and results in
increasing trust and satisfaction. Reliable answers related with all the
questions of people must be given to them so that they can be convinced
to come to the business and engage in dealings. Many people are asking
with the business related with different policies and procedures. In such
cases it is important to give suitable answers from management. Teams
could be made by management to deal with all the communications of
the business.
Those people who are dealing with communications must have all the
details. This will give instant responses to people and they will be
satisfied. If the people dealing with communications related with
business are not able to give suitable answers on time then this will be
bad for the reputation of the business. Management in the business must
71 Business Management
use ways through which communications could be handled. If online
modes of communications are provided for people then it is important to
check the emails on a regular basis.
Regular replies to emails of people are giving good results for improved
reputation. Management could check the emails from people and give
them reliable answers. Teams dealing with communications in large
companies must make sure that reliable answers are given to people. If
answers to certain questions are not known then teams must consult with
management to give reliable answers. It is good to give right answers to
people as it will present the business to the outside world. If wrong
answers are given to people then they will get a negative impact.
Communications of all levels must be managed and handled through
professionals in the business. Communication among people in the
business and management could take place in different ways. Meetings
could be arranged for communication among professionals in the
72 Business Management
business. In these meetings it is possible to deal with procedures related
with working of the business.
Management must have effective communication skills so that
procedures could be made for dealing with inside and outside people.
Many people are using internet and many emails are sent to businesses
for asking different types of details. Management must have trained
professionals for giving reliable solutions for all the questions and
problems of people. When reliable answers are given to people then they
will become satisfied and also become clients of the business. Those
businesses which are poor in communication are not able to gain trust of
the clients. Effective communication could give trust to clients and
engage them in dealings.
Management must give opportunities to others so that they can take part
in communications. This will give feedbacks to management so that
proper working and plans can be made. Feedbacks from people are
73 Business Management
important for management as it will guide in making items which are in
need. When items are required by people and these are given to them on
time then they are able to get engaged in dealings with business. It is
good to get feedbacks from people about the products and services of the
business.
Management could encourage the participation of people so that they
can take part and give feedbacks about products and services of the
business. This will be helpful in making improvements in products and
services and also making the desired items which will be liked by
people. When companies are making desired products and services on
the basis of feedbacks from people then these are going to be high in
demand.
Communication skills are important for any type of business and these
could give results in the form of more profits for the business.
Management must focus on all levels of communications. Management
74 Business Management
must have the ability to convey its messages to others. Management of a
business is representing the business and it must use effective
communication strategies. With the help of effective communication
strategies it is possible to gain benefits in the form of good results
through proper actions.
Communication from management could be used for sharing details
about upcoming events. Many types of events are launched from
companies from time to time. These must be communicated with
concerned parties. In case of sales it is important to share the details with
people so that they can learn and make plans for purchases. This will be
done through management when communication skills are used. Special
discounts are also highlighted by management so that people could be
attracted and get information.
Management of a business is using different means for effective
communications in order to share details about latest plans which can be
75 Business Management
attractive for people. Many people are willing to make comparisons
among the offers from different businesses. Management must highlight
the attractive points in their communications so that the clients could be
attracted and they can get desired details.
Management must give instructions to all the workers in a business so
that they can be guided to work as per needs. If proper instructions are
given to workers then they are able to be checked as per the set targets
and goals. If workers are not getting instructions from management then
their working cannot be checked and they will not understand the details
of their jobs. With complete and effective communication it is possible
to convey the ideas and instructions to workers in a company by
management which will give results in the form of effective working and
good results.
When management is communicating information for workers and
others inside the business then it must make sure that the information is
76 Business Management
received and understood. Confirmation about the receipt and
understanding of information is important so that the actions could be
started as per needs. If the communication is completed but not
understood by the recipient then it will not give good results.
Time is wasted if effective communication is not used and feedbacks are
not checked. In order to make sure that communication is delivered
properly and understood by the recipient the management must use the
feedback system. Effective communication in businesses could be
managed by using proper channels. There are many channels in
businesses through which communication could be done on time and
feedbacks could be obtained. Many businesses are using advanced
means of communications which are through emails.
These emails are sent inside and outside the business by management so
that instructions could be given and actions could be taken as per needs.
Emails are made in a special format and many businesses are using the
77 Business Management
headers and footers which give indications that the email is from the
company. Emails are also printed in order to give them to other parties
by hand.
Communication skills of management are important for any type of
business. If management is communicating effectively then good results
could be obtained in the form of instant delivery of messages and
feedbacks. If management is not well in communications then it will be
harmful. While communicating it is important to give reliable
information to the concerned parties. Errors in information are not good
and could result in bad reputation for the business. Advanced technology
has given many new ways for businesses through which they can
communicate well and get feedbacks from others.
Management must use reliable means of communications through which
feedbacks could be obtained and information could be shared with the
desired people. Online modes of communications are also helpful.
78 Business Management
Information from the management could be shred to many people
through internet. Many sites are available through which ads could be
posted with information of the company.
Such types of communications are also good for advertisement purposes.
As a manager you must communicate well on behalf of your company.
You must make sure that you are representing a large company and your
information will directly impact the company. If management is not
aware of the answers of questions from people then they must not use
the guess work. It is important to take some time and think on the
questions for providing reliable answers.
People are giving more importance to correct information as compared
with timely information. If you are able to give timely and correct
information to others then you can proceed for getting good results. If
you are not having information as a manager about a particular issue
then you must take some time and research on the topic and provide
79 Business Management
correct answers. Management must communicate to the point and as per
needs. Many people are not willing to get a lot of details on many
matters.
Some information, which is concise and to the point, is required by
people. Long details which are not relevant with the topic are not liked
by people. There can be options for those people who are in search for
more details so that they can get more details if they want. Management
of any business must make sure that they are active and giving details to
others as per needs. All types of information could not be given to others
so management must make sure that secrets are protected well and
others are not able to access them.
Unauthorized access to secrets of a business could result in losses
therefore care is important in such cases. Tone of voice from
management of the business must be polite and clear. All types of
information and communication must be done from management in a
80 Business Management
polite manner. Important information must be communicated by using
written modes so that these could remain same and not changing from
time to time.
Professional presentation of messages and information must be used so
that communication could get feedbacks and results in a timely manner.
When some changes are taking place in the normal routine of working
then these must be communicated effectively with others inside the
business. Management must deal with all the matters with care in case of
conflicts. When there are conflicts and fights among people then they
must be handled with care and decisions must be communicated in a
proper manner.

business is important for getting timely results. Different modes are used
for communications with different people inside the business.

matters related with the business must be discussed and dealt as per
needs among management and other concerned parties. Management
must use advanced means of communications so that the messages could
be delivered without wasting any time. Contact information must be
given in ads so that people could call and get required information. If a
single person is managing the whole business in case of a shop then he
must give his cell number which is available for dealing with customers.
People like to call on cell number in order to get details about sales and
promotions. Timing could be mentioned through which communication
can be done so that timely calls could be received without any type of
82 Business Management
disturbance. Management in business has to deal with many parties.
Some parties are outside the business and some parties are inside the
business. Different types of styles in communication are used for

used in all cases.
Clear and simple ways of communications must be used so that the
messages could be given on time without any delays. Management must
give clear messages to all the related parties with the business. Clear
information must be communicated so that doubts could be eliminated.
Management must make sure that the information is communicated in a
clear manner without hiding required details. Important details in the
communications must be delivered through management in business for
getting good results.
Management must make sure that the information is concise. Irrelevant
details must be omitted from communications so that the other party
83 Business Management
could receive the exact messages. This will deliver clear messages and
save time in creating them. Concise messages are able to get instant
results and actions from the other party. Related points must be
discussed in communications by management so that time and effort
could be saved by reducing the chances of misunderstanding.
Management must give messages and communicate them in a concrete
manner. Messages must be concrete and giving important information
about the subject. It is not good to omit the important points in messages
as it will reduce the effectiveness. When messages are concrete then
they are covering all the important points which will give results in the
form of clear distribution of details to the concerned parties. All
important points must be covered so that the other party could be made
and convinced to take the desired actions.
Management must make sure that the communicated messages are free
from errors and correct in all respects. Typing errors in written messages

revise the messages before sending them to others. Revision could
highlight the errors and help in correction.

spread then it will be bad for understanding and also harmful for the
reputation of the company. Management in business must make sure that
they are checking the messages before sending them to others at all
levels. Due to fast typing of messages it is common to have some
mistakes. Revisions could highlight the mistakes and eliminate them in
time. Management must make sure that the communicated messages are
coherent.
Coherent messages are logical and delivered in a proper manner.
Management must use the logic for delivering and communication
process so that the other party could understand the messages and take
85 Business Management
actions as per needs. Management must give complete messages to
others. Important information must be included and unnecessary details
must be excluded. It is not good to have incomplete messages in
business which will result in unclear results and actions from other
parties.
Management must communicate complete messages to other parties and
make sure that these are delivered to them and also understood.
Management must deliver courteous messages for others. It is important
to make messages which are giving importance to other parties.
Management must avoid the tones which are for insulting others. Polite
messages and normal tones are good for any types of messages in the
business environment. When management is taking care of
communication of their messages then they are able to get results in the
form of proper understanding of messages which will result in good
results.
86 Business Management
Management must be open for receiving feedbacks from the other
parties which will give details about the understanding. In case the other
parties do not understand the messages then the management must give
more details till the other party understands the communications. Formal
modes of communications are used in the business environment.
Management of business must make sure that they are dealing with all
the concerned parties in a normal manner. Informal messages are not
communicated normally in the business environment. All the parties in
the business environment are expecting formal behaviors and
communications in start. With the passage of time informal relations
could be made among businesses which will give rise to informal
communications. Managers in businesses are able to communicate well
as they are taught communication skills during their courses of studies.
Experience in business environment is also helpful for getting skills in
communications. Those managers who are able to communicate well at
87 Business Management
all levels are able to provide good results for the business. Good
communication skills are helpful in routine life and also for the business
environment. Management can make videos for employees in a business.
These videos are for giving instruction on important topics.
These types of instructional videos could be helpful for talking about
important changes and practices. It is good to ask questions about these
videos so that the participation of all the employees could be checked. If
some changes took place in the normal working of a business then
management could make a video and launch it in the business for
information of employees. Some time must be given to the video so that
the employees could check them and work as per needs.
These are small videos for some minutes and these are helpful for giving
reliable and important information to all the employees. Companies are
able to post videos on internet in order to communicate about the
important offers in the form of ads. These types of videos will attract the
88 Business Management
attention of many people through internet and they will learn important
points about the company.
Management must make such videos and spread them to the outside
world. Separate videos are for employees and customers. Management
must make sure that the videos are giving exact information and are
short so that the interest and concentration of the parties could be
engaged. Management must be open for communications related with
different matters of the business. Employees must have access to
management for communications of different matters which are
important for business.
Management could arrange meetings in which important people in the
business are involved. It is important to guide the participants in meeting
about the topics so that they can make the required preparations. When
the members in meetings are coming with required preparations then
89 Business Management
they will contribute well. Many important decisions are made in
meetings and communicated to all the concerned parties.
Such meetings are for making sure that the working of the business is as
per needs and all the areas are checked for making improvements.
Special roles are performed in such meetings by participants. Voting is
also used in meetings through which decisions are made on important
issues. These decisions are to be communicated to all the related parties.

Chapter 5
Legal issues
Different types of legal issues are involved in launching and working of
any large company. Management of the business is required to deal with
the legal issues so that problems could be eliminated. Large companies
have legal departments which are dealing with all the legal issues.
Management in the business must make sure that illegal actions are not
taken by the parties connected with the business. In case of any illegal
actions it is important by the management to make sure that it is
eliminated.
Legal departments have lawyers which are working for large companies
so that they can be represented in case of legal problems. Large
companies are dealing with different types of legal issues from time to
time so management must have the availability of lawyers and other
professionals who will deal the legal issues and give reliable path of
working for the business.
91 Business Management
All requirements of laws including working and taxation and many other
things are handled through management so that the business could work
well and have a safe path. Management must make sure that all the
requirements of laws are completed and the changes are also
implemented which are taking place in legal details from time to time.
For updated and legal working it is important by management to have a
legal department in large companies.
Many small businesses have no lawyers and these are not using the legal
advice in many cases. Services of lawyers are required in case of any
types of problems for small or large companies. Management must make
sure that all the requirements of law are completed in working. In case
of large companies it is requirement of law that all the financial matters
must be disclosed.
92 Business Management
Management must make proper books of accounts to meet the needs of
law. This will be in the form of different types of statements which are
disclosing the information about all the areas of the company. All the
figures must be presented in a professional manner and as per the
standards. International standards are to be used by large companies for
making of books of accounts.
Members of companies are given these details so that they can check the
working and make further plans. Small businesses are not under strict
legal issues related with disclosure of financial matters as there are no
partners or members. In case of partnerships there are some legal issues
related with making of financial statements. Large companies must have
all the financial statements in proper formats and distributed to all the
concerned parties. In this manner the financial information is given and
checked by auditors so that these could be made as per laws.
93 Business Management
Any errors in financial statements are highlighted by auditors and
instructions are given to management to make the desired corrections.
These corrections are to be done in a timely manner or the report of
auditors will show these errors and disclosures for members which are
not following laws. Management must make sure that the business is
following the laws of the government and the country. Dealing in illegal
items is not allowed and there are strict actions in case of getting
captured.
Competitors could also sue the company in which case management is
required to use the services of lawyers and professionals for dealing with
them. Large companies have regular workers in the form of lawyers who
are dealing with all types of legal issues. Management must have
contacts with lawyers who are ready to check the details of legal issues
and work to respond to them as per needs.
94 Business Management
Management must have some knowledge about the legal issues which
can be used for dealing with some problems in case of major problems
of laws and sues it is important to deal with them through professionals.
Lawyers are available who can be used at any time for dealing with
issues and eliminate them. If management is noticing that a competitor
has breached the copyrights then services of lawyers could be used for
legal proceedings.
These cases require issuing the legal notices to competitors and asking
for damages. Many companies could recover a lot of money in such
cases as damages if the legal department is working well. Management
has to nominate the person who will represent the company in case of
legal proceedings and hearings in the court. Such a person must be
trained so that he could give reasonable answers to all the questions.
These answers are considered to be from the company so management
must be careful in training process of the representing person. If
95 Business Management
management has selected a lawyer who is not working well for the
business then it is important to make changes in selection. If business is
consisting of lawyers then they have to face with different types of
issues and cases in routine. Management of such businesses is dealing
with cases and clients for making plans for taking legal actions.
Courts are filled with cases of different types which are related with
businesses and involving different types of people. If management is
related with a business in which cases are filed related with low quality
of products and services then lawyers must be used for dealing with
them. Large companies could have contracts with lawyers who will deal
with all types of cases. Any business could be targeted in any legal case
at any time and the management must be ready for having lawyers for
dealing with these cases.
If cases are filed against the company then management must try to
solve the cases with other parties so that time and efforts could be saved
96 Business Management
in legal proceedings. Other parties which are suing the business could be
convinced through different offers. Management can check these options
and also consult their lawyers so that the cases could be taken back.
Filed cases against any business are harmful and resulting in decreased
reputation.
Many cases could be dealt through effective communication with the
parties through management. Some adjustment is asked by the other
parties so that they can take the cases back and the results could become
normal. There are also occasions when the other parties are not making
any adjustment so management has to follow the legal proceedings.
Some cases in law are very long and require a lot of time for solution.
Different types of tactics are used by lawyers in order to increase the
duration of cases. Management must try to eliminate the cases as soon as
possible so that the problems of law could be eliminated. Management
must make sure that all the working in the business is carried out by
97 Business Management
following laws. If any breach of law is highlighted by the suing party
then management must ask for legal assistance to find ways for making
corrections.
There are penalties in the legal system, which are used for dealing with
small problems. Management must try to reduce the amount of penalties
in cases which are filed against the company. If management is filing
cases against others then lawyers could be used for increasing the
amount of recovery and benefits. Cases must be logical so that the
reputation of the company could remain safe.
98 Business Management
Chapter 6
Logical planning
Businesses must have logical planning from start to achieve the goals.
Business management is making plans so that the business could earn a
lot of money. Any business is working in order to increase the profits.
Plans are made in the business by management so that the working of
the business could be adjusted. Any deviation from plans is not good and
must be taken seriously. Management must make sure that plans in the
business are able to be achieved.
If the plans are made which are not able to be achieved then the
resources will be wasted. Realistic plans must be made by management
and then the resources must be allocated to achieve them. Business
could make plans through management in order to increase the number
of clients with time. This could be achieved by giving good services to
clients and advertising to more clients so that they could come for
getting products and services.
99 Business Management
Plans could be made for increasing profits which can be achieved by
reducing the costs of productions so that special discounts could be
provided to clients for increasing sales and profits. Budgets can be made
which will give figures for business so that the working could be done to
achieve those figures. There are different types of changes from time to
time in the working of the business as the situation in the market is
changing with time. In such cases the plans must be updated so that the
figures could be achieved.
Management must make sure that the business is working as per plans.
Regular revisions are helpful for checking the progress of the business
and for making required changes. If the business is not updating its
working policies and procedures then it will result in losses and short
life of the business. There are many occasions in life of a successful
business when it receives offers from other business for partnerships and
100 Business Management
mergers. Such decisions are huge and impact the overall working of the
business.
Management must take these decisions with care so that the concerned
parties could not be adversely affected. Management must make sure
that plans of the business are based on some logics. Those plans which
are proved to be successful from past experiences could be used for
future working with some changes for getting good results. It is not
necessary that all the plans in past could give same good results in
future. There are changes in the working places and markets due to
which adjustments are required.
Some changes in active plans are required through which people are able
to get desired results from companies. Management must make sure that
the plans are updated from time to time. There are many types of
changes in the market due to which the plans are to be changed. When
101 Business Management
regular checking of the business procedures is done then plans could be
changed and updated.
If management is using old policies without taking into account the
changes in the markets then results are bad. Those businesses which are
taking required steps from time to time in order to introduce the updated
policies and plans are getting good results. It is required by management
to make logical plans which can be used for increasing benefits. These
plans could cover the working of the business as a whole. Some areas
could be dealt through old plans with some changes in business however
there are requirements of major changes in other areas.
Management must highlight those areas and take steps for including the
major changes. These changes are in the form of working and
involvement of people. When there is a need to change the workers and
shift them to other departments then management must take steps to
make the changes so that the working of the department could continue.
102 Business Management
Those businesses which are not following any logical plans are suffering
from losses. In order to make sure that losses are to be reduced and
incomes are to be increased it is important to use logical planning.
Wrong plans are leading a business towards losses and management is
responsible for them. Management of any business is required to remain
alerted about the changes in market. When signals are received that
market is going to have some changes then policies and working of
businesses must be adjusted. Changes in policies of businesses must be
implemented in the form of steps as it is hard to impose the major
changes without guidance of workers. Plans need training for workers so
that they can cover the targets of new plans.
Management must hire professionals from outside so that they can guide
and train the workers in the business. If the business has such
experienced employees in staff then there is no need of hiring more
employees. Services of old employees could be used for guidance and
103 Business Management
training of new employees. If a new business is starting then it must
follow the steps of competitors in the same industry in order to make
plans. New businesses must not try new plans as it could be harmful and
result in losses right from beginning.
After checking the old plans which are proved to be successful it is
possible for businesses to try new plans and check the results. In this
manner management is able to allocate budget for testing of new plans
and check results with the passage of time. Regular implementation of
some old and some new plans in businesses are helpful in checking
progress and making long term plans. Management is able to check the
results from plans and work accordingly. If the plans are proved to be
successful then management must make more investment in such plans.
If some plans are failed then management must check the details so that
the working could be updated.
104 Business Management
If the working was perfect but the plans are not going to give benefits
then management must replace those plans with the plans which are
profitable. Management in a business is able to increase the number of
plans on which work can be done. In start some plans are to be used by
management. When those plans are working fine then more plans could
be included. It is good to make plans in budgets so that more financial
resources need not to be taken from outside sources.
Management must check the financial resources with it and make logical
plans which can be covered. It is not good to take loans for testing
different types of plans as it could result in losses if the plans are failed.
Management must use its resources for arrangement of financials and
test on a small scale on different types of new plans. If the tests are
proved to be successful then profits would be received by the business
and management will be able to gather resources for making huge
investments in successful plans.
105 Business Management
If the plans are failed then management will not suffer from additional
losses and could use the profitable plans for gathering more resources
which will be used for successful plans. Management must not repeat
the same mistakes in the business environment. It is not necessary that a
plan which is not working today will also not work tomorrow or after
some time period. Conditions in the market are changing from time to
time and some plans which are giving losses now could give a lot of
profits after some time period.
Management must find the right time and make the plans which could
give the best results. There are many businesses which are providing
products and services on the basis of items which can be used for the
whole year. Some businesses are providing products and services which
are only for a specific season. These businesses are required to make
changes in their plans so that new products and services could be
launched when the season is changed.
106 Business Management
Management must cover all the seasonal items in the inventory so that
the needs of users could be completed. Those companies which have
seasonal items are able to make a lot of money in those seasons but these
are not making profits when the season is ended. Those businesses
which have product and services related with the whole year are able to
make normal profits all the time. Seasonal businesses must make sure
that they are introducing items related with changing seasons.
When the seasons are changed then the items must also be changed.
Management of such businesses must make plans which will help in
adjustments and introduction of new items for the business. When timely
changes are made and new items are provided to users then they will
come back for more items and the reputation of the business will be
improved. Management must have some logic in case of plans for the
business.
107 Business Management
Those decisions and plans which are made without any logic have
reduced chances of getting success. When management is making
logical decision and plans for the business and results are in the form of
benefits and profits at all levels.
108 Business Management
Chapter 7
Roles of workers and managers
Businesses are made through workers and managers. There must be
clear roles of workers and managers so that uncertainly could be
eliminated. If the workers are not sure about their roles then they will
not able to be guided well to achieve the goals. Different types of
workers must be given different types of roles so that their progress
could be checked.
Management must have clear roles for working. Those roles are helpful
for checking the progress and making required changes in working
plans. Large companies have many professionals working in them in
different roles. All the roles must have clear instructions and guidelines
which are to be achieved for checking the progress.
109 Business Management
Businesses must have procedures to deal with routine tasks through
workers and managers by giving them roles which are under their
capacity. Environment in the business must be supportive so that the
workers and management could achieve their roles and work for benefits
of the business. Management must be clear in terms of roles and
working in the business.
All the concerned parties must be given special targets and roles which
are to be completed. Management is responsible for management of all
the tasks inside the business. Tasks outside the business are also to be
dealt through management as the business is managed by them and
presented to the outside world. There are many types of employees in
large companies and they are working in different roles.
These roles are to be completed in time so that results could be checked.
Management must check the progress of all the workers and given them
instructions as per needs. Those workers who are working fine and
110 Business Management
giving good results must be encouraged so that they can work with
increased levels of perfection and accuracy. Those workers which are
not working as per the assigned roles must be given warnings so that
they can make adjustments.
If they are working fine after giving them warnings then management
must encourage them. If they are not able to make the adjustments and
continue the bad practices then management must replace those with
good workers. It is not good for business to keep working with those
employees who are not giving good results.
Large companies are working in many ways and different employees are
given roles through which their progress could be checked. Management
can check the working of all the workers and also check their own
performance. This will give details about the areas which are weak so
that working could be done on them for making them strong.
111 Business Management
Chapter 8
Targets and goals
Management in business must have targets and goals which are to be
achieved. It is not possible to achieve all types of targets and goals and
management must make sure that there are different types of schemes
for dealing with different problems in working.
Management must make realistic targets which could be achieved on the
basis of past experience and conditions in the market. If the progress of
the business is improving and more targets are achieved then the
business must continue the current practices. If the targets are not
achieved then management must check the details and review the
working process. This will highlight the problems and help the
management to make plans and schemes which will result in
achievement of goals and targets.
112 Business Management
Conditions in the market are changing with time so management in
business must be ready to make updating from time to time. If
management is not making required updates in the working plans then
this will result in harmful results. Those companies which are achieving
good results are making required updates in their working plans from
time to time. This update is to be made in goals and targets so that they
could be achieved and results could be obtained for business.
Management of any business is looking to have increase in profits which
is a main target and policies are made to achieve it. There are many
types of goals for businesses which are made by management and
resources are allocated properly in order to achieve them. Conditions in
the market are changing with time therefore management must be ready
for making changes in old targets and goals. This will give them options
for working well and get desired results.
113 Business Management
If management is making required changes in set targets and goals from
time to time as per needs of the conditions in the market then good
results are obtained. If management is not working actively for making
the required changes in targets and goals then it will result in losses.
Many businesses are gaining success these days and these are working
through active decisions from management related with changing of
targets and goals from time to time. When it is required to have some
adjustments in targets and goals then management must make sure that
the changes are introduced without wasting of time.
114 Business Management
Chapter 9
Delegation
Management in business must make sure that proper delegation is done.
All types of tasks are not able to be done by a single person or manager.
Management must not give more work to a person the business than the
capacity. Capacity of different people is different but management must
make sure that there is a standard for all the workers.
A set level of working could be delegated to others so that they can
complete it in time. Management cannot perform all the tasks related
with the business without the support of others. Workers are to be given
working as per needs. Management has many professionals who are
delegating their routine tasks for getting them done with required
standards and levels.
115 Business Management
Delegation is an important thing in any type of business and it gives time
and chance to work on other matters. Over loading with working is
harmful for quality and the business must focus more on quality than
quantity. Clients are looking for quality in products and services so
management must make sure that the concerned parties are working well
for making quality items from the business.
A manager must delegate his working to his juniors but keep checking
the progress. It is not good to delegate all the working and leave the
responsibility with juniors in business as it will result in errors and bad
results. Management can delegate some working and check it so that the
errors could be traced and eliminated in time. Delegation is not relieving
the management from its responsibility.
If management is delegating its tasks to others then the responsibility to
check and approve the tasks is with the management. If errors are
present in delegated tasks and management is not checking to eliminate
116 Business Management
these errors then the responsibility and blame will be on management.
Management must make sure that it is delegating its authority and tasks
to trained people proper instructions must be given to workers so that
they can work well on the delegated tasks.
Delegation of tasks without giving proper instructions to workers will
lead to many types of errors. Even with instructions the process of
delegation could include some errors which must be checked before
giving approval of the working by management. Checking is helpful in
tracing errors of all types from the delegated working and highlights the
abilities of workers. Those workers who can work well on the delegated
tasks are considered by management in future for more delegation with
incentives and those workers who are not working well on delegated
tasks are not able to get benefits.
Process of delegation must be done with care. Management must make
sure that the people who are given the tasks are able to complete it. With
117 Business Management
the help of delegation of less important tasks management is able to
have more time for more important tasks. This will give benefits and
results in the form of spare time and more good plans for the whole
business by management. It is always good by management to delegate
the less important tasks so that time could be saved for working on other
areas.
Not all types of tasks could be delegated by management so
management must make sure that the workers could handle the
delegated tasks in a professional manner. There is no need to take risks
of delegation of important tasks which are out of focus of workers. This
could lead to errors and delays in working and also increase the load on
workers.
118 Business Management
Chapter 10
Learning process
Business management must have plans so that the learning process could
be used for all the concerned parties. With the passage of time the
learning and knowledge of workers is improved. Management is also
able to learn many new things with time and get more experienced in the
working. Management must have plans for workers in businesses
through which they can improve their learning.
Information about important things related with the business must be
given to employees in companies so that they can improve their
knowledge and work with better results. If the employees are not getting
required information about working from time to time then they will not
learn much. Reduced levels of learning about the working process in the
business are leading to same working without improvements.
119 Business Management
When employees are learning good points about the working of the
company from time to time then they are able to work well and give
more benefits. Management in business could give details about the
future working of the business to workers and other concerned parties
with targets and goals and incentives for achievement so that the morale
of the employees could be increased.
With increased levels in morale it is possible to get more benefits from
employees. Those decisions which are related with employees could be
taken with their consent which will result in increasing their morale and
involvement in working of companies. When employees are given
chances of learning and making some decisions then they participate in
the success of the company and work well with more and increased
morale. Management must continue to improve its knowledge and learn
many new things with working in business.
120 Business Management
This will increase their knowledge and help in taking more important
decisions in future. Management must not stop the learning process in
the business and also encourage new ideas from workers at all levels.
Management must not think that all the knowledge has been acquired
and there is no need of more learning. In the business world many new
experiences are taking place from time to time.
Management must remain alerted for learning from new experiences
with the passage of time which will help in working well in all the areas.
It is important to learn from past mistakes which will help the
management in making good decisions in future. Learning could be done
through the working of competitors in the market. When new policies
are launched by competitors then management could learn and study
them so that the desired changes could be made to implemented policies.
This will help in improved working by the business and management
will also improve its knowledge. If management of any business is
121 Business Management
thinking that it has all the knowledge and there is no further need of
learning then this is leading towards losses and problems. With the
passage of time it is important to make some changes in working. Some
major changes are also required in the business which can result in
getting more benefits and eliminate problems.
If management is not making the required changes and updating its
knowledge from time to time then the results are not favorable for the
business. Management continues to try new policies in business for
getting good results. These policies are not always fruitful and it is
important to make changes. Management could learn from such actions
and make future plans for getting more benefits. Some losses are
resulted due to changes in policies and making new experiments.
Learning process is continuous in any type of business.
When management is learning from past experiences and also from
other businesses then it could get good results in the form of good
122 Business Management
policies which will give a lot of profits. Learning must be introduced at
all the levels inside the business. Workers must be given training from
time to time in order to improve their knowledge. Tests could be taken
from workers about the practices and policies of the company so that
they can remain fresh and maintain their learning and knowledge about
the company.
Management must encourage the learning process so that the workers
could participate with care and work well. Those workers who are
learning well and showing good results in tests and exams could be
encouraged by giving them incentives. Promotions inside the business
could be related with the learning process. Those employees who are
having more knowledge and experience could be given more promotions
as compared with those employees who are not showing interest in the
learning process.
123 Business Management
Management must make sure that all the employees are taking part in
learning programs so that their knowledge could be improved which will
be helpful for launching new policies and working with them. Training
programs are good for any type of business and these programs can open
new ways in which management could make investments. When
management is working actively for making investments in new
programs then it must make sure that the workers are properly trained
and have knowledge to deal with the new policies.
If the new policies are not working well then management must check
the levels of knowledge of the involved parties. Many policies in
businesses are not working well due to lack of knowledge and
understanding of the workers. When workers are given clear instructions
and they are showing good understanding about the working then
management could use this knowledge for progress of the business.
124 Business Management
Management in a business consists of professionals who have completed
their studies before getting the jobs. Even after getting the jobs as
managers of any business the learning process must be continued.
Learning about changing in situations must be understood by expert
managers. Those managers who are experienced are able to manage the
business as per need and time.
Management must be ready to learn new things about the business world
and make changes when there is need. Updating process is required by
businesses and management must play active roles so that they can get
results in the form of profits. Losses could be reduced by removing the
harmful areas of working. Some schemes are not going to give profits
for the business therefore management must leave those schemes.
All types of employees are not available in a business therefore certain
schemes must not be tried without having professionals for completion.
Management must be ready to have more learning through changes in
125 Business Management
conditions in the market. Conditions in markets are changing regularly
and there are some changes which are to be given importance. All the
changes are not important and management could ignore irrelevant
changes in the market.
When management is working fine and actively for making adjustments
as per changes in market then good results for the whole business could
be obtained. Management must share its knowledge with others in the
company while delegating the tasks. This will result in working without
any types of errors. Encouragement must be given to those employees
who are showing interest in learning the new polices and changes in
working. This will result in more benefits for the whole business and
also for the management.
