Supporting Processes Unlike operational processes, which are the process that manage marketing, purchasing, manufacturing, and management process, which include how the business is structured and the procedures of the business, supporting processes supports the core processes of the business. The support of the core processes of the Kudler’s Fine Foods include processes that support marketing, purchasing, and procedures of the business. This is done by business information systems within the supporting process structure, such as finance and accounting, technical and call support, and human resources. According to Sharrieff, M. (1999-2012) a good management system in place “First, MIS offers the ability of seamlessly translating and sharing
Authors Pearce and Robinson (2009) suggest, a balanced scorecard “Is a set of measures that are directly linked to the company’s strategy,” “Directs a company to link its own long-term strategy with tangible goals and actions,” and “Provides a framework to translate a strategy into operational terms” (p. 202). A balanced scorecard is comprised of four perceptions: financial, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth (Pearce & Robinson, 2009). Utilizing Kaplan and Norton’s development of the balance scorecard AB Cleaners (ABC) evaluated its strategies relative to their mission and vision.

COSO Plan Adoption Law/531 May 21st, 2012 Elizabeth Harrison COSO Plan Adoption Identifying and minimizing risk is essential for an organization to succeed. During the planning process an organization should adopt a structure for its corporate compliance plans to identify and minimize risk. Organizations can create their own plans or rely on organizations that specialize in enterprise risk management. The Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO) is an example of an organization that offers structures of enterprise management. The purpose of this paper is to review and identify the most powerful recommendations from COSO and summarize the benefits of adopting the COSO structure as a corporate compliance
The Organization and Performance Management Organizational management refers to the company's business plan; performance management refers to how the employees within the organization carry out the day-to-day operations. Organizational management and performance management should align with one another. The organizational management tool I am suggesting for Landslide Limousines is a balanced scorecard. “A Balanced Scorecard defines what management means by "performance" and measures whether management is achieving desired results. The Balanced Scorecard translates Mission and Vision Statements into a comprehensive set of objectives and performance measures that can be quantified and appraised” (Kaplan, 2005).
The intention of SOX is to restore the confidence of the public and investors through the enhancement of corporate governance, improving the oversight of auditors, focusing the attention of companies and auditors on internal controls, and strengthening the penalties for noncompliance (Deloitte, 2004). Internal controls are essential for establishing corporate governance. In sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, emphasis is placed on the importance of internal controls on corporate governance within an organization. In order to address internal control issues, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued control guidelines called the Internal Control-Integrated Framework. “COSO was formed in 1985 to sponsor the National Commission on Fraudulent Financial Reporting, an independent private-sector initiative which studied the causal factors that can lead to fraudulent financial reporting.

Marketing also can be defined as an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders (Kolton & Keller, 2009). According to Business Dictionary (2010), marketing is “the management process through which goods and services move from concept to the customer. As a practice, it consists in coordination of four elements called 4P's: (1) identification, selection, and development of a product, (2) determination of its price, (3) selection of a distribution channel to reach the customer's place, and (4) development and implementation of a promotional strategy” (Marketing, para. 1). The need for marketing was created by the need to exchange items with others in
4. PROMOTION & STRATEGY 4.1 Management Strategy Strategic management is the art and science of formulating, implementing and evaluating cross-functional decisions that will enable an organization to achieve its objectives. It is the process of specifying the organization's objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve these objectives, and allocating resources to implement the policies and plans to achieve the organization's objectives. Strategic management, therefore, combines the activities of the various functional areas of a business to achieve organizational objectives. Strategic management provides overall direction to the enterprise and is closely related to the field of Organization Studies.
