Ohh -- you didn't tell us what company.
It's a company in the making...I'm doing my Principles of Business SBA and I have to make my own business.
The size of each of these departments depends on the size of the business. Most businesses start small, and one person may do several of these jobs.
What business are you making?
It's hard to explain...there will be a clothing section for my mom, a souvenir section for my friend, a karaoke and virtual dancing arcade like section for me, a food court and a lounging area for socializing purposes...I want it to become a teen or young adult spot to relax and have fun, that sort of thing :-/
Your finance department could be a part time contract accountant.
Your sales staff would be the people who work in each of these departments.
Each department head would probably be responsible for purchasing.
With such a small business, it would be important for the heads of each department to work closely together.
ok so my finance department can consist of 1 person?
my sales staff could be up to 10 people?
there doesn't need to be a purchasing department?
With a small new startup business, you couldn't afford many people. You could have 10 people on your sales staff -- but you wouldn't start with all 10. You and your family would be doing most of the work until the business gets enough income to be profitable.
OK, i get that...so the other departments wouldn't be needed then?
To determine the approximate number of people working in each department, you would typically need access to specific company data, as this information can vary depending on the organization. However, there are a few ways you can try to estimate these numbers:
1. Company Reports or Annual Statements: Check annual reports or financial statements that some companies publish. These documents might provide insights into the structure of the organization and the number of employees in each department.
2. Company Website or LinkedIn: Visit the company's official website or LinkedIn page. Some organizations may disclose the size of their workforce or provide details about their departments and team members.
3. Industry Benchmarks: Look for industry-specific data or studies that provide averages or ranges for the number of employees in different departments. While these figures may not be exact for a particular company, they can give you a rough estimate.
Remember, these methods can provide only estimated figures, and the actual numbers can vary significantly depending on the company's size, industry, and individual structures. If you need precise numbers, it is advisable to contact the company directly or consult their official reports.
