Managing the company will require your team to make a wide range of decisions, including: Which markets to emphasise? What types of research and development to conduct? How to effectively market products? How to manage production facilities and a sales force? How to contract and implement team roles and responsibilities? How to effectively manage information that will support critical decisions? How to finance operations?
