Imagine your company has turned into a football team, where do you think the following departments should to be placed at the field to win the game ?

Your question to be answered as normal Organization main department’s functionality as it falls into contemporary management due to it’s a Football team business view (Team work)

The normal management view that you presented still missing important role as a process improvement (minimum view), so you should add at least Quality Management in order to improve your team along time (continuous improvement concept).

Otherwise your team will lag from other competitors (teams) because we are in2015 and most of the organizations that are successful (proven successful) with this concept (team work) applies at least one quality management concept.

The remaining is the connection between them (team and departments connection) and it is straight forward by the role of each department to interact according the team needs, demands, status, completions, competitions , plans by (strength – weakness – opportunities – threats), performance, … etc.

Hope that satisfies your query.

THE ANSWER IS REVENUE CENTER BECAUSE A SALES MANAGER AIM IS TO INCREASE THE RATE OF TURNOVER OF A FIRM. HIS ROLE IS NOT REALLY TO MAKE MORE PROFIT. HE BELIEVES THAT AN INCREASE IN TURNOVER WILL FINALLY RESULT TO INCREASE IN PROFIT.

...IF YOU APPRECIATE MY RESPONSE KINDLY RECOMMEND ME FOR A JOB VACANCY IN YOUR LOCATION, THANKS

5- management (because a player who is good manager can play top role )
