OFFICE
Office is an important section of a business. The term business implies office work.
An office is understood to be a place where clerical work is performed and where all
kinds of paper work (letters, correspondence, files, records etc.) is maintained and
dealt with.
OFFICE WORK
Office work is mainly concerned with clerical work or paper work. But this is a very
narrow view and is an old concept of office work.
Office work is primarily concerned with making, preserving and using records.
An office serves as the memory centre and control centre of an organisation. The
office performs many services like communication, reproduction, mechanical data,
processing, procuring of stationery, furniture and equipments, secretarial assistance
etc. to other departments in an organisation.
Office is a unit where records for the purpose of control, planning and efficient
management of the organisation are prepared, handled and preserved.
