Departments
DVD Direct has five departments: Accounting, Marketing, Production, Human Resources, and Research.
Jamal: We are in Marketing, which focuses on promoting and selling DVD Direct products. Production is in another building. The responsibility of production at DVD Direct is to ship, receive, and warehouse the DVDs. You dealt with Human Resources when you went through the interview process and filled out the paperwork to work at DVD Direct. Research looks into new technologies. I've heard that they are exploring the feasibility of delivering movies over the Web using streaming video technology. Accounting handles billing customers and creating the yearly shareholders report, among other responsibilities.
