Here we will talk about a few main departments and their function in an organisation. Which includes:
1.Research and development
2.Purchasing
3.Production
4.Service Operations
5.Marketing

So we will start off with -Research and development department-
- As we all know research may be pure, applied, or development. With the intention to improve products or processes, this is why R&D come in handy when this department co-ordinated with marketing. Not to forget that the credits usually goes to the specialist staff employed to conduct R&D (Research and Development.)

- Pure research is a kind of research to obtain new knowledge or wisdom, to make things sound simpler, the time when there is no any text or reference book about Accounting in Business, the author of either Sunway-TES text buk, or BPP(for instance) have to conduct their own research which starts from zero to understand how accountant relates in business and how different department co-ordinates with each other to be more efficient in heading towards the company's goal.

- As for applied research, it is like our Sunway-TES text book, from all the various source of ACCA knowledge, it combines different producer's text book data And add in their own knowledge and hence, our Sunway-TES ACCA Text book is produced, taa-daa~
Thats for applied research, which has a more specific practical application.

- Development is the use of existing knowledge to produce new product or system, in this case, we can be viewed as the specialist staff which conduct our own research on this topic about 'organisational departments and functions', and this blog that we have to write out to explain our understanding based on what we learned is called development.

- As in overall, the R&D department can be divided into two categories: The Product Research, and the Process Research.

- Product Research focus more on creating new products, while process research concentrates more on improving the way or the efficiency which the products or services are made or delivered.

- The aspects of Process Research includes Processes, Productivity, Planning, and Quality management. All of these aspects are important for quality enhancement and increment of efficiency.
