CORPORATE ENVIRONMENT
In general, a business is an organization with basic resources (inputs), such as raw
materials and labor, combined and processed to provide goods or services
(outputs) to customers. Companies can take the form of small to large-scale
businesses, from roadside coffee shops to Indofood which produces a wide variety
of food products. A company's customer is an individual or other company that
provides goods or services in exchange for money or other valuables. On the
contrary, mosques and churches are not companies because the recipients of their
services do not have the obligation to pay for the services received. Whatever the
characteristics of the company, to be able to live and stay afloat in the long term
every company must have the products that society needs. A product is something
produced by a company to sell to the public as a source of income for the
company. In order to produce a particular product, each company must have a
variety of resources needed to produce that product which includes land,
machinery, labor, capital, raw materials, and so on. Without having resources and
products, an organization cannot be called an enterprise. Because a company is an
organization where resources such as raw materials and labor are processed to
produce goods or services for customers. The goal of most companies is to
maximize profits (profit). Profit or profit (profit) is the difference between the
money received from customers for goods or services produced, and the costs
incurred for inputs used to produce goods or services. There are also companies
that operate with goals other than maximizing profits. Non–profit companies
