Moreover, since the group's debut, BNK48 Office's poor management of the group without clear future plans has brought about doubts and questions to the group's expected success in mass marketing.[11] Critic Nutthapong Chaiwanitphon viewed that BNK48 Office is "unready" in terms of business, citing the company's weak media planning and production and its inability to plan activities or to announce their detailsbeforehand due to the necessity to ascertain the number of visitors first. He also pointed out that the total amount of sales of the group's first single, "Aitakatta", that is, 13,500 copies, is a low figure and commercial events that are deemed one of the key sources of income of the group have been very limited. According to Nutthapong, the heavy risk that arises from the company's burden of simultaneously taking care of as many as thirty artists is a factor that will prevent the company from surviving in the competitive business world for more than two years.[11]

Sejak debut grup itu, manajemen rendah BNK48 dari grup tersebut tanpa rencana2 mendatang yg jelas telah membawa keraguan dan pertanyaan soal kesuksesan grup tersebut di pemasaran massal.Kritikus Nutthapong Chaiwanitphon memandang bahwa BNK48 Office "gak siap" dlm hal bisnis, dengan alasan produksi dan rencana media dari perusahaan tersebut tak mampu untuk merencanakan kegiatan atw mengumumkan detil mereka sebelumnya karena kebutuhan utama sejumlah pengunjung tertentu. Ia juga menekankan bahwa jumlah penjualan singel pertama grup tersebut, "Aitakatta", yang sejumlah 13,500 copy, adalah jumlah yg rendah dan acara2 komersial yg dituntut jadi salah satu kunci sumber pemasukan grup tersebut sangat terbatas. Menurut Nutthapong, resko yg besar yg timbul dr keblunderan perusahaan tersebut dlm nanganin sekitar 30 artisnya bakal ngehindarin perusahaan tersebut dari ketahanannya dlm dunia persaingan bisnis selama lebih dr dua taon.
