    I would like to know a business basic job rankings. Please someone respond. Thank you!.

    For those who have no idea what this means. Suppose I want to build a business. I first would want to start looking for president. Next I want to find a vice president, and then the position that RANKS UNDER a vice president. I know there are a lot of variables to this, but I am just speaking in BASIC, BASIC business terms. I want to know every job ranking from top to bottom, if you are still confused please let Oz know!!. Thank you!.

    Umm, ok, I don't know how to break this to you. There is no set structure of positions within a corporation until that corporation defines them. And even after that, the corporation is free to make new positions, change current positions, or do away with existing positions. You don't need to have a president, vice president, or any other "title" you want. All you need to be sure to have are the people necessary to accomplish the mission of the business. Your organizational hierarchy will probably define itself if you've done a decent job selecting people to fill the positions.

    call them whatever you want. Dress them up with a fancy title or whatever, doesnt matter. there's no specific order that you have to stick to.

    Perhaps before you form a company you should do more research. If you weren't sure about this, there are probably many other important things you do not know. The worst thing possible is blindly starting a company and not knowing what to do.

    madam
    high priced personal companions
    average priced call girls
    Vegas Casino hookers
    NJ Boardwalk hookers
    the hookers you find on craigslist

    I think that about covers all the positions you need to run a business

    The statement you made is very true, HOWEVER even though a lot of companys do not have structured job positions. There are many companys that do have a job structure similiar to the example I just stated. The main reason I asked what may seem to many a vain question is, because I am starting a videogame company. I wanted to copy my job structure from nintendo. A very popular videogame company, and since the mission of MY business is almost the same as the mission of THERE business...why not?. I have spent many hours trying to find the main people who run there company, and STILL can not find what I am looking for...it should not be this hard to get this information.

    yoru sort of... forcing the issue.. the hierarchy will fall into place as your business progress'. as you need to expand yoru workforce and bring on new employees you will create new positions and there title is going to relate to there position.. take it as it comes..

    That statement is very true...just not the WHOLE truth.

    It may seem that way...trust me . I have a MUCH greater purpose beyond what may seem like a confusing question.

    Is your company up and running yet,how many people work for you,do you have a website or anything or is it at this stage hypothetical ??? sorry to ask questions but the original post was a bit vague and the only thing we can go on is 'because I am starting a videogame company' is it up and running.

    Oz, the point that others seem to be trying to make is that the company itself does not determine the position titles; rather the role of each position within the company determine its title. Think of it that way and see what you can come up with.
