Business Classification
- Businesses are categorized based on the work activities they perform.
- Producers create raw materials or goods; miners exemplify this role.

- A landscape company is a prime example of a service firm, focusing on providing services rather than products.
Business Departments
- "External relations" is not recognized as a business department.

- Core levels include physical, social, and psychological needs, which must be addressed to satisfy consumers.
Management Functions

Finance and Accounting
