Division of Business Development & Management focuses on the business of chemistry, rather than a discipline of chemistry. We focus on topics such as sales & marketing, financing, product development, employee relations, quality systems, public relations, plant management, distribution, and so on. We work closely with other business minded ACS entities like Corporation Associates, Small Chemical Business Division and Industrial Engineering & Chemistry Division. We develop programming and promote issues in these areas at the national, regional, and local section levels.
Version 4
Division of Business Development & Management focuses on the business of chemistry. We differentiate us from other divisions by focusing on organizing programs in areas such as, sales & marketing, finance (is it true?), product development, employee relations, quality systems, public relations, plant management, safety and distribution in order to strengthening the overall business of chemistry. We support programs Our strategy is to collaborate with for committees in the ACS such as Corporation Associates, International Activities and Committee on Science (is it true?), and in addition to supporting the activities of Regional Meetings and Local Sections, where there is a synergy. We work with others in the Society to develop programming and promote issues in these areas. It is redundant.

We focus on the essentials that actualize chemistry’s solutions - like management, safety, regulations, sales and marketing - everything outside the laboratory that develops and produces products that improve our lives and make the world better.
