b)Economic activities in business organizations.

c)Types of business organizations.

Managers are coordinators of economic activities in business organizations. Coordination of group efforts is an essential function in a company, and whoever acts as a coordinator is a manager.

Managers do not perform physical tasks which are necessary to produce and sell the goods and services that are the output of the company. All this is done by workers and employees. On the other hand, the latter would be unable to achieve the goal of the organization without the guiding hand of management.

There are literally thousands of decisions in a company about what is to be done, who is to do it and how it is to be done. It is managers who make these decisions and see that they are implemented.

The duties of a manager include:

the determination of the best form of organization,

development of a control system,

budgeting and forecasting,

marketing and sales policies,

effective performance of the sales staff,

development of improved methods for the planning and control of ordering,

handling and sorting out of the materials and supplies,

determination of wages and salaries,

the establishment of incentives for good performance.

The work of managers is, by no means, confined to manufacturing industries. It is indispensable in offices, banks, mercantile establishments, insurance agencies and other similar activities. Management is the team of managers who are in charge of the organization at different levels. Regardless of the specific job, most managers perform five basic functions: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling.

Planning involves determining overall company objectives and deciding how these goals can best be achieved. Organizing is putting the plan into action. In directing, managers guide, teach, and motivate people so that they reach their potential abilities. At last managers control and evaluate how well overall company objectives are being met.

Задание 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст. Определите основную идею текста а) Role and responsibilities of the manager.

b)Economic activities in business organizations.

c)Types of business organizations.

Before starting your business there are a number of decisions you will have to make. For example, who should you buy your supplies from? What premises will you

work from? How much control do you want to keep in the business? This last question depends on whether you decide to work as a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company.

Suppose you decided to work as a sole trader. It means that you alone have responsibility for the business; you also take all profits after paying income tax on them. What advantages do you have if you work as a sole trader? They are as follows: you do not have to disclose details of your financial affairs except to the tax authorities; you have the final say in any decisions that affect the company. The only disadvantage is that you alone are personally responsible for any business debts.

Partnership. It is a group of between two and twenty people trading as one firm. They share responsibility for debts, decision making and the profits. Partnership can be useful, and effective when partners have skills in different areas. What are the disadvantages of a partnership? All partners are personally liable for any business debts, even if they are caused by mismanagement by another partner. So it is essential to know your partners well and trust them.

A limited company (Ltd.). A company formed by two or more shareholders who put money into the business in return for a share of the profits. They appoint directors who control the company. A limited company must be registered. The advantages of a limited company are: the financial liability of the shareholders is limited. If the business goes bust the personal belongings of the shareholders cannot be taken to pay the debts. You each lose only the value of the shares you own. The disadvantages are as follows: you may find it difficult to get credit from suppliers or loans from banks unless you give personal guarantees that you will pay your debts to them.

Monopoly. Monopoly is a market structure with only a single seller of a commodity or service dealing with a large number of buyers. When a single seller faces a single buyer, that situation is known as bilateral monopoly. There is monopoly when there is only one seller in an industry, and there is competition when there are many sellers in an industry.
