Managing information in any business. Part 1.

When examining this diagram, one can readily discern its close resemblance to various everyday human activities. In reality, every business comprises a client, for whom a specific task or service must be executed, and the workers who facilitate its completion.

Human activity
Generic schema of any business activity

To effectively manage and oversee your business, you are confronted with a triple responsibility:

  • Managing personnel
  • Overseeing business operations
  • Nurturing client relationships

In the dynamic realm of business, there exist myriad approaches to addressing these tasks; we neither pioneer nor conclude this process. Our mission is to equip you with comprehensive insights into the significant challenges inherent in business management and furnish you with the knowledge necessary to surmount them. Intrigued? Undoubtedly so. This knowledge serves as your paramount tool in confronting business-related obstacles and propelling your company toward a prosperous future.

While this may initially appear complex, you will soon appreciate the simplicity inherent in breaking down the core of information exchange into manageable components, each meticulously examined.

Our objective as a company is to describe our products with utmost clarity and simplicity, akin to providing a concise yet detailed explanation of the purpose and functionality of a common crowbar. Give it a try yourself—rather straightforward, isn't it? Now, attempt the same for a shovel. As evidenced, even commonplace items prove challenging to describe without a foundational understanding of their operation.

This more detailed diagram illustrates the requisite and sufficient information modules for effective business management. An information module refers to a collection of tables within a database that pertains to a specific area or function.

It is evident that a new entity has been introduced above all previously mentioned modules in the schema—the module dedicated to monitoring financial resources and transactions (Accounting & Finances). Initiation of any business venture necessitates financial resources or valuable assets, and the establishment of a robust accounting system is indispensable for its operation. Numerous software packages worldwide facilitate the accounting process, with each country typically favoring a de facto leader in accounting software. However, delving into specific software names is beyond the scope of this article. Instead, the focus remains on delineating the solution to the triple task outlined earlier.

The management of human resources is overseen by the Human Resources department, denoted as the HR module in the universal schema of any business. Human resources encompass both employees and contractors (such as consultants, temporary workers, etc.).
