INSTRUCTIONS: Transition day I have chosen a topic suitable for remote learning for you today. It is part of Unit 1 The Business environment in our course.

Tasks 1. Read through the slides below. Functions are the different areas of operation in a business.
2. Create a mind map of the different functional areas of a business and the tasks they perform (this is usually done by hand on a large A3 sheet, but you can do all functions together or individually<br>
07
Tasks continued 3. How do Business functions interrelate with other business functions? What do they rely on each other for ?
4. Include the consequences of poor relationships between business functions. (for example if Human Resources don’t inform Finance about a new recruit then they might not get paid!)
