each other.
Sometimes, the functional areas of a business
conflict with each other.
Graphic Organizer
Example of How Functional Areas Depend on Each Other
A furniture maker’s sales are decreasing.
The accounting and finance department notice decreasing sales.
If the furniture is too highly priced, more efficient procedures will have to be
implemented.
A new marketing plan is created.
The accounting and finance department will monitor the effects of new marketing efforts.
Graphic Organizer
Example of How Functional Areas Conflict with Each Other
Management wants to increase sales by 20 percent within three years.
The production department suggests improving quality.
The marketing department requests more funds for projects.
Accounting says there is not enough money for either plan.
The final plan involves ideas from all the functions of business.
