These components include the systems and strategies for marketing, sales, product delivery and customer service, and the organs needed for the business's management (governance), including hiring and managing employees. Other components are operating systems, facilities, policies and procedures to enable the production of goods and services and facilitate other operations in the business. Other elements include managing the business's finances, which requires systems, internal controls, policies, procedures, and tools or techniques. The techniques include devices such as a break-even analysis, business plan, budget, cash flow statements, financial statements, accounting systems and many other methods of financial control.
