Management is the process of planning, allocating resources, generating processes and creating monitoring systems to evaluate outcomes. In simplistic terms, it is the matching of resources to needs and wants to generate a profit related to the sale of products/services.
The terms ‘Front’ and ‘Back Office’ are used in business to refer to the form of office work conducted. In general the front office interacts with customers/clients and handles the day-to-day activity. The back office is where management leads the organization and handles the underlying financial affairs.
Every small business has a physical spot to process paperwork, whether it’s a notebook in a truck for a contractor or a large building complex with tens of employees for a multi-million dollar operation, the paperwork has to get processed somewhere. But there is more to this than the physical facility, it is more about the people and process involved that define the office.
