Management team
For every successful business behind it, there is strong team of management which is qualified
for their tasks. At the start of every small business, it’s naturally no more activities carried out
within the management sector (Bunderson & Van der Vegt, 2018). As the business grows with
time, the management field also naturally expands, therefore, requiring more effort from several
personnel. For the business to grow one person cannot manage sales and operation sector,
accounting and finance office and marketing field since is too tiresome for one individual to
accomplish all those tasks (Lyngsie & Foss, 2017). When it reaches this point, it's the high time
to bring high skilled managers on the panel than before to help to carry out the operations.
