The business of this company is to build houses, furnished with all modern facilities.It is quite clear that the success of the company depends on the level of its advertisement.That is why this department has been set up separately, in the company.Besides, several standards have been fixed to keep a control over its quality and cost,the standard of material to be used in the construction, the standard of working conditions,the standard of construction cost and the standard of work to be done by per person per day.
Realising the importance of advertisement,the CEO gave the right of spending money upto Rs5 lakh to the Departmental Manager without seeking his permission.When the other departmental managers came to know of this authority,they also demanded this type of authority to spend money.Their demand was accepted happily.
