The marketing and sales department needs to keep in touch with the Finance department and the Research and Development because; if a customer wants to buy a product which he has paid then this will go through the finance department and they will deal with it, on the other hand M&S department would need to communicate with the Finance department so they know whether to give the product to the customer or not if they have enough money in there bank. If communications fail then the customer can get away with the product without the business realising however this wouldn’t really happen. If M&S want to advertise a certain product or a new deal then they will have to communicate with the Finance department to confirm if there have enough funds to do the new deal.
The Research and development department must keep marketing and sales department updated with the latest product developments so they can keep customers updated and get orders easily and more efficiently. The marketing and sales department would do to find out what there club fans and supporters may want on match days so they can improve ad get the facilities they want and they would use the Research and Development department to see if it’s possible for them to have them facilities in Rovers. They can make a lot of profit in this way by opening some the fans want so they can get money out of it and make profit. To do this the Research and Development department would do research and find the best quality product which the customers would prefer and like. After finding this the marketing and sales department would advertise the product and sell them at there best rate so Rovers and their Customers are happy. The finance department would also be involved in this because they would have to pay for all the cost that would cost to this.
The Marketing and Sales department must keep updates with the Research and development department because of there customer trends. This would increase customer responsiveness so Rover’s know what they need. In some cases the footballers or the manager would go to a community gathering or they would hold a charity event to keep the local community happy and the residential happy, as a result they may get attracted towards the club; this would be a great advantage as ticket sales may increase and they would have more fans to come to them and watch more games. In a business point of view, a business would not buy a new product which the customers are not willing to buy because they would not make any profit in this.
The marketing and sales department would want to advertise then they would use televisions or the internet or give out leaflets to there residential area then it would however it would cost them money to put it on but they would then have to check with the Finance department to see if there is enough money available to promote the business in this way and make profit by advertising this. They got to make sure that what they advertising would make profit for them and if there fans are happy with this new deal or whatever they doing.
Before the season Rover’s brought a brand new sponsorship deal called ‘bet24’ and because of this new sponsorship deal they also had to change there kit which would cost them as long as they make profit overall. For the reason that then the Marketing and sales department would research for the best profitable kit they can get for them however before they would also have to design there new kit before they tell them to print them. Then when they know how much would cost then the Finance department would have to agree go through the deal. Then they would do this so more sales can be achieved.
For them to promote new players the marketing and sales department would work and communicate with the Research and development department to promote new players. The Finance department would provide the money to both departments so basically the Research and Development department would search for the player and then Marketing and sales would deal with it. Another example of finance department and Research and Development working together; for example if the Research and development department are scouting to find a new player for there club then the Finance department would give them a budget to spend so the Research and Development department knows how much budget they get to spend on a player. The finance department should always communicate with the Research and development department so that they know that they don’t overspend on their budget given by them.
If they wanted to go to away matched then they would have to organise everything before they go so they would have to pay for all the hotels and the entire organisation they would have to also make sure that it’s cheap but good so they don’t lose out on going through the away games. The finance department would have to then organise for the costs so they can afford this but it has to be a reasonable price for the finance department.
