Administrative Departments
The administrative departments tend to be those that
support Co-op City by providing services to RiverBay Corporation rather than to
the shareholder directly.
Although shareholders deal directly with members of the
Sale's department and read the results of the work done in the Co-op City Times,
much of the work done by departments such as Automotive, Finance, Human
Resources and Purchasing are invisible to the shareholders, but essential to the
smooth functioning of the corporation.
