 In a traditional structure of office, there are duty bound
executives who have to conduct their business in a run of the mill fashion,
where they do activities like calling clients/prospects, take appointments,
conduct a meeting, write the proposals, check emails and so much so also manage
invoicing and their own travel management. This multi tasking is the work
culture almost predefined globally.
However, in a large setup, this may come as a hindrance to productivity and
also performance, as self management, often leaves some room for error and that
may be costly if it results in losing a client! Hence, all said and done, there
is a need for assistance at the back office, so that the business person can
focus fully on his/her role and core competency, the back office is taken care
by an assistant.

business roles may not be considered a cost effective solution to performance.
