A chief operating officer (COO) is the senior manager who is responsible for managing the company’s day-to-day operations and reporting them to the chief executive officer (CEO). A company needs a chief operating officer (COO) because the CEO is usually too busy to monitor production quotas and other factors on a daily basis.
The COO of an organization typically reports to the CEO and works in conjunction with him. The COO is responsible for practical goal-setting and establishing strategies and objectives. Depending in part on the size of the company, the COO often plays a significant role in handling the actual operation of the company and makes sure that the company is meeting its short-term and long-term goals. Where the CEO may be more involved with a long-term focus, the COO is more often responsible for daily, quarterly or other periodic measured results. He also is involved with strategic planning for the future and may establish initiatives to expand the organization’s product lines or markets.
