28 min. Using Holden as a case study,
this program looks at the four key
functions performed in business on a
daily basis: manufacturing operations;
human resources; marketing and sales;
and finance.
Take down five terms on each of the four business functions to write a
paragraph on each at the end of the video.

Coordinating the Business Functions
The different functions of the business are INTERDEPENDENT.
Small business owners are closer to their customers than large
business. Large business managers may even lose touch with
their business operations. Shareholders may have very little to
do with the day to day running of the business.

The production process





Organising operations in a business involves
managing the production process.
The production process includes identifying and
procuring the inputs that will be transformed by
the business into the final goods and services.
MANUFACTORING – transformation in factory
SERVICES – transformation in offices
In organising production the business
managers will try to reduce cost, maximise
efficiency and provide quality goods and
services
Production process

Division of labour
◦ Breaking down tasks to the simplest level and
designing jobs and employing people to do these
jobs
◦ Division of labour brings advantages to an
organisations as people become SPECIALISTS
they become more EFFICIENT

Specialising promotes efficiency
◦ Workers rely on other people working in their
specialised job to supply the products and
services they need. Who does a heart surgeon
or tennis professional rely on?
The way that businesses create
products and services is known as
the production process.
There are three main parts to the production process:
A firm must purchase all the necessary inputs and then transform them
into the product (outputs) that it wishes to sell. For example a football
shirt manufacturer must buy the fabric, pay someone for a design, invest in
machinery, rent a factory and employ workers in order for the football
shirts to be made and then sold.
How well-organised a firm is at undertaking this transformation process will
determine its success. This is known as the productive efficiency of a
firm and it will want to be as efficient as possible in transforming its inputs
into outputs (i.e. using the minimum number of inputs as possible to
achieve a set amount of output). This will reduce the cost per unit of
production and allow the firm to sell at a lower price.
Ultimately, the objective of the production process is to create goods
and services that meet the needs and wants of customers. The
needs and wants of customers will be met if a business can produce the
correct number of products, in the shortest possible time, to the best
quality and all at a competitive price.

Chain of command
Chain of command
Refers to the way a business structures its
channels of authority, power, accountability
and responsibility
 In a traditional business the chain of
command starts with the CEO
 Authority and power will move down
through various levels (or links) of
management, supervisors and workers.
 Accountability (and information) moves back
u through these links to the CEO

Chain of command continued

The chain of command can be shown as an
organisation chart
◦ Authority refers to the right a manager has to make
certain decisions and to require a subordinate to carry
our certain tasks in a satisfactory way.
◦ Power is the ability to cause subordinates to do what is
required of them
◦ Responsibility is the duty an employee has to c ary out
certain organisation al tasks or functions
◦ Accountability who has authority over them
All workers are responsible for something and accountable
to someone. The chain of command can be organised by
function, product, geography or customers.
◦ See pg. 102
Chain of command by function
Organising chain of command is common
and can be effective if each functional area
does not need to collaborate closely with
other departments...e.g.? Head of HR,
Finance, manufacturing and marketing and
reporting to CEP

Quality management

Define ‘quality management’ and its
importance
Good + Service
Quality management
Goal of every business should be to create the
best possible product and/or deliver the best
possible service.
Businesses that can deliver high quality
products and services will gain a
competitive advantage over other similar
businesses e.g. http://www.apple.com/au/
QUALITY : A FOCUS FOR
OPERATIONS

Quality management will only be attained
if all the employees in operations are
committed to achieving and maintaining
quality output...

Is this easy to achieve?
Quality management
at each stage of the production process
 Provide scenarios for an SME .......
 How do managers ensure high quality?
 What would a good manager do to rectify
poor quality products/services?
Total quality management
All aspects of the operations process
INPUTS, PROCESSES, AND OUTPUTS
are all subjected to
constant quality
analysis and
monitoring

..constant assessment and
improvements to
promote total quality
Quality Control
Inspection
International Quality Standards
TQM
Continuous improvement
Working Capital =the money needed for the day-to-day requirements of business.
DISADVANTAGES of JIT - unable to meet sudden increases in demand, great reliance
on suppliers and employees, huge problems if any part of the system breaks down, loss of
discounts related to bulk buying.
Customers define quality. It is different things to different people. But customers
demand a high level of quality or they will switch to a competitor.
Quality Control =
Inspection of products to see it meets the need of the
customers.

What is marketing?
Distinguish between marketing and sales
http://www.smh.com.au/
Definition of marketing

Those functions in a business that directly
involve contact with the consumer and
assessment of their needs, and the translation of
this information into outputs for sale.

Marketing is the process of developing a
product and implementing a series of strategies
aimed at correctly promoting, pricing and
distributing the product to a core group of
customers.
Targeting consumers
Why is targeting consumers and identifying a
‘target market’ so important?
What sort of magazines/TV shows do you read
and watch? What products are advertised?
Have you heard of a ‘target market’ what does
this term mean in your own words?
Identification of the target market

A business needs to clearly establish who
the consumers of the product are and
them aims its efforts to gain sales towards
that market.

E.g. Skim milk, chocolate, surfboards...who
are their target market?
TARGET MARKETS

Most product promotions will be targeted so
they appeal to a specific:
◦ Age
◦ Social group: middle aged men/women, affluent,
young women
 Each specific group is a TARGET MARKET
 As a class look at different websites and notice the differen
ads
TARGET MARKETS

Mass marketing: product used by a large

Niche marketing: small and exclusive market.
proportion of the population: food, household
items: usually not specific
Ski equipment, luxury cars, adventure holidays>
IMAGE promoted is most important


MARKET SEGMENTATION


Market segmentation occurs when the total market
is subdivided into groups of people who share one
or more common characteristics.
Otherwise known as target markets.
Markets can be segmented on the following four
variables;
◦ Demographic – age gender, ethnicity, income,
occupation etc.
◦ Geographic – Urban, rural, climate, region
◦ Product related – regular user, new user, brand
loyalty price sensitivity
◦ Psychographic – personality, motives, lifestyles

Eg. Nova 96.9 only wants 18-39 year olds to listen so
they don’t play Frank Sinatra. They then have a
valuable product to sell to advertisers.

The Toyota Tarago has also been developed for a
certain market segment.
Processes used to identify target
markets

Market research: surveys in person/via telephone,
demographic/social group, specific questions about the product

Focus group: a group of potential consumers chosen at
random, brought together and asked to respond to a campaign
developed to promote a particular good or service..Advertising
agencies, check whether there is a demand
MARKETING MIX

Marketing Mix

Summarise product, price, place and
promotion

Read text then summarise
Marketing Mix
Product
 Brand, packaging, positioning (healthier)
Price
 Matching its cost of production to the needs of its targeted customers. Will the
price be set low and aimed at the mass market or will it be set high and aimed at a
specialised market? What is problem with too low/too high pricing?
Promotion
 Sales promotion
 Personal selling
 Advertising
 Print, radio, TV : choice of medium will depend on the products, audience, frequency of
publication, coverage, cost of reading audience
 Customer service
Place
 Transporting/storing goods and getting them to the consumer at the right time.
1/5th of the cost of a product is taken up in distribution.
 Warehousing/storage/transport
 Inventory: Just in time (JIT) in modern businesses stock is held in the form of
finished goods, component or raw materials.

M&C Saatchi wins Austrade
contest to market Australia
Simon Canning
From: The Australian
April 26, 2010 12:00AM
FORMER Tourism Australian and Tourism New Zealand advertising agency M&C Saatchi has
won the job of building brand Australia for Austrade.
The agency, which has also been involved in nation-branding and tourism projects in the US and the Middle
East, will assume the $20 million project to market Australia as an export and investment nation.
More than 60 advertising agencies from around the world pitched for the Building Brand Australia project
announced by the federal government last year, with four agencies making the shortlist.
Austrade took a number of concepts from the agencies and put them into research in 14 countries before
handing the account to M&C.
The contract will run for four years and will see an overarching brand developed to promote Australia. It
will run separately from tourism campaigns.
The concept will not be unveiled until next month.
M&C developed New Zealand's lauded 100 per cent Pure campaign before resigning the account to take on
Tourism Australia.
The agency's "So where the bloody hell are you?" campaign shot bikini model Lara Bingle to fame but faced
criticism from some industry sectors.
Last week Media revealed that two local executives, chairman Tom Dery and regional creative director Tom
McFarlane, had bought a 20 per cent stake in the agency for $5m from the parent company in London.
In the age of the brand, logos are
everywhere. But why do some of the
world’s best-known brands find
themselves on the wrong end of the
spray paint can — the targets of anticorporate campaigns by activists and
protesters?
 No Logo, based on the best-selling book
by Canadian journalist and activist
Naomi Klein, reveals the reasons behind
the backlash against the increasing
economic and cultural reach of
multinational companies. Analyzing how
brands like Nike,The Gap, and Tommy
Hilfiger became revered symbols
worldwide, Klein argues that
globalization is a process whereby
corporations discovered that profits lay
not in making products (outsourced to
low-wage workers in developing
countries), but in creating branded
identities people adopt in their
lifestyles.
