Understanding roles and responsibilities within business organisations

Introduction

Businesses and organisations are a huge way of life. They are part of pretty much everything we do, from the clothes we wear, to the food we eat, from the holidays we go on and to the schools we attend. In this booklet, we're going to give you the ins and outs of what exactly goes on in a business. This is the ultimate guide for the business-hungry school or college leaver.

Most well known businesses tend to be larger enterprises. These include Nando's, Arcadia Group, Wal-mart, J Sainsbury, and Tesco.

An SME is a Small or Medium Enterprise. It usually only has 250 or less employees working for it, and works at a relatively small scale to a larger business. Examples of SMEs include Breast Cancer Campaign, Lastminute.com, Lime Crime Makeup, and Sugarpill Cosmetics.
