as well as towards international well-being. Thus, the objectives of business may be classified as Economic objectives Social objectives Human objectives National objectives Global objectives

SIGNIFICANCE OF BUSINESS IN MODERN SOCIETY1. Improvement in standard of living2. Proper utilization of resources3. Better quality and large variety of goods and services4. Creates utilities5. Employment opportunities6. Workers' welfare

Page 3: Business Concepts Notes

The Economic Environment for Business Macroeconomic policy targets are:

Growth Control of inflation Full employment External balance (or Balance of payments)

The critical elements of macro-economic environment are: • Economic system • Nature of the economy • Anatomy of the economy • Functioning of the economy • Economic planning and programmes • Economic policy statements and proposals • Economic controls and regulations • Economic legislations • Economic trends and structure, and • Economic problems and prospects

SCARCITY, CHOICE, AND OPPORTUNITY COST1. All societies must answer three basic questions: What gets produced? How is it produced? Who gets what is produced? These three questions make up the economic problem.2. One person alone on an island must make the same basic decisions that complex societies make. When a society consists of more than one person, questions of distribution cooperation and specialization arise.3. Because resources are scarce relative to human wants in all societies, using resources to produce one good or service implies not using them to produce something else. This concept of opportunity cost is central to an understanding of economics.4. Using resources to produce capital that will in turn produce benefits in the future implies not using those resources to produce consumer goods in the present.5. Even if one individual or nation is absolutely more efficient at producing goods than another, all parties will gain if they specialize in producing goods in which they have a comparative advantage.6. A production possibility frontier (ppf) is a graph that shows all the combinations of goods and services that can be pro-duced if all of society’s resources are used efficiently. The ppf illustrates a number of important economic concepts: scarcity, unemployment, inefficiency, increasing opportunity cost, and economic growth.Opportunity Cost: The concepts of constrained choice and scarcity are central to the discipline of economics. They can be applied when discussing the behavior of individuals such as Bill and when analyzing the behavior of large groups of people in complex societies.

BUSINESS GROWTH AND MEASUREMENT OF SIZEMethods of Measuring Business SizeTurnover: The sales revenue or turnover of a business could be used to measure size. For example, BP, the UK oil company, is a very large business. Its turnover in 2008 was $361 billion.The number of employees: A business with thousands of employees may be considered large. For example, Ford the US car giant, employed over280, 000 people in 2008.The amount of capital employed: Capital employed is the amount of money invested in a business. The more money invested, the larger the business.

Page 4: Business Concepts Notes

Market share: It could be argued that a business with a 43% market share is larger than one that has a 9% market share in the same industry. Coca-Cola, for example sells over 50% of all cola drinks worldwide.Methods of GrowthInternal growth is when a firm expands without involving other businesses. Organic growth means that the firm expands by selling more of its existing products. This could be done by selling to a wider market. Internal growth is often a slow process.External growth is a faster method of growth. This can be by acquisition or takeover of other businesses or by merging with them. A takeover is when one company buys control of another. A merger usually means that two companies have agreed to join together and create a new company.

BALANCE OF TRADE“The record of only visible goods transaction completed between the residence of a country and the residence of the rest of the world”, is known as Balance of Trade.” Terms of Trade (TOT)Ratio between the value of exports and value of imports is known as terms of trade. Value of XTOT=Value of M Value of X = Prices of goods Export * Q of goods export Value of M = Prices of goods Import * Q of goods importSurplus/Favorable TOT: If value of X is greater than value of M the terms of trade is favorable. In other words when the receipts of a country is more than its payments the result is surplus in TOT. Value of X > Value of MOR Receipts > PaymentsDeficit/Unfavorable TOT: If value of M is greater than value of X the terms of trade is unfavorable. In other words when the payments of a country is more than its receipts the result is deficit in TOT. Value of M > Value of XOR Payments > Receipts

TRADE DEFICITSThe term Trade Deficit comes under the Balance of Trade and represents more import than export and referred as a negative balance or trade gap. Trade deficit is not good thing for any country and they should try to avoid or overcome such situation by promoting export. Here the export considered is in the term of Money i.e. Monetary Value and not just quantity.The amount by which the value of a country's visible imports exceeds that of visible exports; an unfavorable balance of trade

BALANCE OF PAYMENTS (BOP)Definition: “Balance of payments is systematic record of all economic transactions completed between the residence of a country and the residence of the rest of the world”.Surplus in (BOP): If the receipts of a country are greater than its payments the result is Surplus. Receipts > PaymentsBalance in (BOP): If the receipts of a country and its payments are equal the result is Balance. Receipts = PaymentsDeficit in (BOP): If the receipts of a country are less than its payments the result is Deficit. Receipts < Payments “Simply whenever, the foreign payments of a country are more than the foreign receipts of the country, the deficit in BOP rises. In other words, whenever the demand for foreign exchange is more than the supply of foreign exchange the deficit in BOP occurs”.

TRADE PROTECTIONISMProtectionism is implemented to secure the domestic industries from international industries. Imported goods usually have high quality and are available at cheaper price then domestic goods. This increased the demand for imported goods and reduces the demand for the domestic goods. This leads to unemployment as some firms are not able to survive. This also means less revenue from the taxes for the government and low GDP of the country. To tackle this problem, the government takes some measures and a method to protect the domestic industries is known as protectionism.The methods are:

1. Tariff2. Quota3. Ban4. Subsidies5. To set certain packaging and quality standards6. Administrative problems7. Exchange Control

BUSINESS ETHICS Public’s interest in business ethics increased during the last four decades Public’s interest in business ethics spurred by the media Ethics involves a discipline that examines good or bad practices within the context of a moral

duty Moral conduct is behavior that is right or wrong Business ethics include practices and behaviors that are good or bad

Planning and control system are flexible enough to deal with the frequent changes in product requirements.3. A permanent staff of highly skilled employees is necessary in order to manufacture products of wide range as per the job orders collected.4. Schedules are actually nonexistent in this system, as no definite data is available on the product.5. In process inventory is usually high as accurate plans and schedules do not exist.6. Product cost is normally high because of high material and labor costs.7. Large storage space and adequate extra machines in the machine storerooms are required to meet customer’s requirements.8. This system is very flexible as management has to manufacture varying product types.9. Material handling systems are also flexible to meet changing product requirements.Features of Batch   Production: 1. The machines and equipments are arranged according to the sequence of operations.2. A large variety of products are manufactured in lots or batches.3. The manufacturing plants should be well equipped with machines and equipments with capacity to undertake production of wide variety of products.4. The general purpose machines and special purpose machines are used in the production process.5. The production period required for each product/part is comparatively long as each batch has to wait before going over to the next machine for subsequent operation.6. Stock of work in progress is high and the product design department is comparatively large.7. The costing system need to be efficient in order to calculate the total cost of production for each piece work and each batch of the finished product.8.

MNCMultinational corporations (MNCs) are huge industrial organizations having a wide network of branches and subsidiaries spread over a number of countries. The two main characteristics of MNCs are their large size and the fact that their worldwide activities are centrally controlled by the parent companies. Such a company may enter into joint venture with a company in another country. The MNCs bring several benefits to the host country:(a) The domestic labour may benefit in the form of higher real wages.(b) The consumers benefits by way of lower prices and better quality products.(c) Investments by MNCs will also induce more domestic investment. For example, ancillary units can be set up to ‘feed’ the main industries of the MNCs(d) MNCs expenditures on research and development (R&D), although limited is bound to benefit the host country.

MNEM.N.E. (Multinational Enterprise): Large firms whose operations and functions span national borders. Operates in different countries and adjusts products and practices to each at a higher relative costs. Four main criteria to identifying a   MNE:  1) Structure of Corporation 2) Behavior 3) Performance 4) Coordination

FUNCTIONS OF COMMERCIAL BANKS

The functions of commercial banks are divided into two categories:1) Primary functions, and2) Secondary functions including agency functions.

Primary functions:a) Accepting depositsb) Granting loans and advances

Secondary functions: Issuing letters of credit, traveller’s cheques, circular notes etc. Undertaking safe custody of valuables, important documents, and securities by providing safe

deposit vaults or lockers. Providing customers with facilities of foreign exchange. Transferring money from one place to another; and from one branch to another branch of the

Page 15: Business Concepts Notes

Standing guarantee on behalf of its customers, for making payments for purchase of goods, machinery, vehicles etc.

Collecting and supplying business information. Issuing demand drafts and pay orders. Providing reports on the credit worthiness of customers.

INSURANCE

Types of insurance1) Agricultural insurance 2) Health insurance 3) Life insurance 4) Vehicle insurance

Key Benefits of Life Insurance:-Asset Protection:-The core benefit of life insurance is that the financial interests of one’s family remain protected from circumstances such as loss of income due to critical illness or death of the policyholder. Simultaneously, insurance products also have a strong inbuilt wealth creation proposition. The customer therefore benefits on two counts and life insurance occupies a unique space in the landscape of investment options available to a customer.

Goal based savings:-Each of us has some goals in life for which we need to save. For a young, newly married couple, it could be buying a house. Once, they decide to start a family, the goal changes to planning for the education or marriage of their children. As one grows older, planning for one's retirement will begin to take precedence.  

Seven Principles of Insurance 1) Principle of Uberrimae fidei (Utmost Good Faith),2) Principle of Insurable Interest,3) Principle of Indemnity,4) Principle of Contribution,5) Principle of Subrogation,6) Principle of Loss Minimization, and7) Principle of Causa Proxima (Nearest Cause)
