External environment of business consists of institutions, organizations and forcesoperating outside the company. External environment can be classified into
Micro Environment Macro Environment
(1) Micro environment
The micro environment refers to such players whose decisions and actions have a directbearing on the company. Since modern business broadly has two aspects, viz., Productionand selling of goods, the micro environment of business can be divided accordingly.
The most prominent performers in the micro environment are:
Suppliers of inputs
Workers and their unions
Customers market intermediaries
Competitors
Publics
(2) Macro environment
Macro environment comprises large societal and physical forces which affect thecompany and also the players in the companys micro-environment.
Macro environment of a company refers to all those economic and non- economic factorswhich exercise their influence on the business activity in general and thus determine

Economics Of Development
Meaning of Economy (or) Economic System
An economy or economic system refers to the manner in which the various economicactivities relating to production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods andservices are organised in a country, and the way in which the people of a country earntheir living.
It comprises the farms ,factories, mines, shops, offices, banks, schools and colleges,transport systems, hospitals, defence, etc The economy of a country is divided into threesectors:
1. Primary Sector agriculture, mining, forestry, fishing, etc.2. Secondary Sector large scale and small scale industries.3. Tertiary Sector services like transport, banking, insurance, trade, public
administration, defence, etc.
Classification of Countries (economy)
The World Bank in its World Development Report (2005) has classified various countriesof the world on the basis of their per capita Gross National Income (GNI) or (GNP). Theyare1.Low income countries with per capita GNP of $765 and below. Ex : Myanmar,India, Ghana, Sudan, Nepal, Uganda.
2.Middle income countries with per capita GNP between $766 and $9,385.Ex : China, Fiji, Brazil, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, etc.
3. High income countries with per capita GNP higher than $9,386.Ex : Australia, USA, UK, UAE, Canada, Spain, Germany, France, etc.
Types of Economies
An economy or economic systems can be classified into two types on the basis of thelevel of economic development attained by them. They are
1. Developed economy (advanced)2. Under-developed economy (backward)
Developed economy
The United Nations Experts in 1971have classified countries with per capita real nationalincome of $1000 and $4000 a year as developed countries.
A developed economy is one which is economically advanced and whose economy is
5
8/14/2019 Notes on Indian Business Enviornment
6/43
characterized by large industrial and service sectors and high levels of income per head.
Under-developed / developing economy
An economy where the per capita real income is less than $1000 a year is considered anunder-developed economy.
A under-developed economy is characterised by
Low per capita income
Chronic mass poverty
Predominance of agriculture
Obsolete methods of production and social organisation
Under-utilization of manpower and natural resources
India as a Developing Economy
Reference - B.S.Raman: pg 19-21 HRK: pg 11-14
Meaning of a Developing EconomyDeveloping economy, no doubt, refers to an under-developed economy. But this
term is mostly used to refer to that under-developed economy which is not stagnant, buthas started developing by making use of its natural and human resources.
The following changes in the Indian Economy over the last five decades clearlyprove that India is a developing economy.
Increase in national income
1950-51 Rs. 9,142 crores2001-02 Rs. 18,64,292 crores
Increase in per capita income
1950-51 Rs. 2552001-02 Rs. 17,978
Increase in investment

Sundaram: pg12-14 )
Economic development implies the process of securing levels of productivity in allsectors of economy and this in turn, is a function of the level of technology.
Economic development thus depends upon two sets of factors:1. Non-Economic Factors2. Economic Factors
Non-Economic Factors
Non-economic Factors includes social attitudes, political conditions, human endowmentsand efficient governance.
Religious beliefs
Political Instability
Family System
Development of Education
Nature of People
Economic Factors
Capital Formation
Capital-output Ratio
Growth of Population
Building Human Capital
Availability of Natural Resources
Climatic Conditions
Level of Technology
Major Issues of Developments (Reference Ruddar Dutt and Sundaram: pg 10-12)
Low per capita income and low rate of economic growth
High proportion of people below the poverty line
Low level of productive efficiency due to inadequate nutrition and malnutrition
Imbalance between population size, resources and capital
Problem of employment
Instability of output of agriculture and related sectors
Imbalance between heavy industry and wage goods
Imbalance in distribution and growing inequalities
Business Cycles
The business cycle is an alternate expansion and contraction in overall business activity,as evidenced by fluctuations in aggregate economic activity such as GNP, industrialproduction, employment and income.
According to J.M.Keynes A trade cycle is composed of periods of good tradecharacterized by rising prices and low unemployment percentages, alternating with
7
8/14/2019 Notes on Indian Business Enviornment
8/43
periods of bad trade characterized by fall in prices and high unemployment percentages.
Phases of a Business Cycle
A business cycle will have 5 different phases or stages. They are1. Depression
2. Recovery3. Prosperity or full employment4. Boom or overfull employment5. Recession
(1) Depression
During this period business activity in the country will be much below normal level.It is characterized by a short fall in production, mass unemployment, fall in prices,
low wages, contraction of credit, a high rate of business failures and an atmosphere of allround pessimism.
The USA experienced 2 longest depressions in the history i.e during 1873-1879 and
1929-1932.
(2) Recovery
During this period business activity increases. The industrial production and volume ofemployment steadily increases. The prices and wages increases. The recovery may takeplace due to the following reasons:
New government expenditure
Exploitation of new sources of energy
Innovations
Investment in new areas
Changes in the techniques of production
(3) Prosperity
This stage is characterized by high capital investment in basic industries, expansion ofbank credit, high prices , high profits, high rate of formation of new business enterprisesand the full employment.
The longest sustained period of prosperity occurred in the USA between 1923 and1929.
(4) Boom
It is the stage of rapid expansion in business activity resulting in high stocks andcommodity prices, high profits and over-full employment.
A situation develops in which the no. of jobs exceeds the no. of workers in the market.Such a situation is known as over-full employment.
Profits will further increase. This will lead to more investment and in turn further raisein price level and inflation.
(5) Recession
In this stage more business enterprises fail, prices collapse and confidence is shaken.Building construction slows down and unemployment increases. There is fall in income,
8

expenditure, demand, prices, and profits. The recession will have cumulative effect on theworking of the economy.
USA experienced recession in 1957-1958.
Diagrammatic Representation
Characteristics of Business Cycles
Business cycle is a wave like movement.
The cyclical fluctuations are recurrent in nature.
The upward or downward swing of the business cycle is self reinforcing.
Business cycle contains self generating forces.
They are all pervasive in their effects.
The peak and the trough of a business cycles are not symmetrical.
In cyclical fluctuations the prices and the production generally rise or fall together.
The cyclical upward and downward swings move parallel with production andmonetary demand.
The cyclical fluctuations are felt more in capital goods industries than in consumer
goods industries.
They are not periodical in nature.
Prices of manufactured goods are comparatively rigid while that of agricultural goods
are normally flexible.
The cyclical fluctuation tend to be not only national but also international in
character.

Reference : Ahuja Pg 15-35
National Income
According to J.R Hicks, National income consists of a collection of goods andservices reduced to a common basis by being measured in terms of money.
According to the National Income Committee of India-1951, A national incomeestimate measures the volume of commodities and services turned out during agiven period, counted without duplication.
Important Points
National income refers to the income of a country, Ex: India
Its measurement refers to a specified period of time, say 1year
National income includes all goods and services which have exchange value,
counting each one of them only one.
Different Concepts of National Income
1. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)2. Net Domestic Product (NDP)3. Gross National Product (GNP)4. Net National Product (NNP)5. National Income at Factor Cost (NI)6. Personal Income (PI)7. Disposable Personal income (DPI)
Gross Domestic Product
GDP is the aggregate money value of all final goods and services produced by
normal residents as well as non-residents in the domestic territory of a
country during a year.
It is a geographical or territorial concept.
GDP = GNP net factor income from abroad
Net Domestic product
NDP refers to the market value of all final goods and services produced during a
period of one year after making allowance for depreciation changes. NDP = GDP Depreciation
Gross National Product
GNP is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced
during a year in a country. GNP is a monetary measure. GNP includes the market value of only final goods and services. It is a flow measure of output of goods and services during a year / currently
produced goods.
GNP refers to the value of goods and services currently produced by normal
residents of a country.
12
8/14/2019 Notes on Indian Business Enviornment
13/43
The depreciation or replacement value of the fixed assets is not deducted
Net National Product
This refers to the net production of goods and services in a country during a year. NNP = GNP the value of capital depreciated during the year.
NNP is a highly useful concept in the study of growth economics.
National Income at Factor Cost
It refers to the total of all income payments earned by the factors of production in
the form of rent, wages, interest, and profit during a given year. NI = NNP Indirect Taxes + subsidy
Personal Income
It is that income which is actually received by the individuals and households in a
country during a year from all sources. PI = NI Corporate income tax
-- social security contributions-- undistributed corporate profits+ transfer payments
This concept is useful in estimating the potential purchasing power of theindividuals in an economy.
Disposable personal Income
It is that part of personal income which is left behind after the payment of personal
direct taxes is called disposable personal income. DPI = PI Personal direct taxes DPI = Consumption + Saving

DFL = Percentage change in EPSPercentage change in EBIT
Operating leverage
The operating leverage occurs when a firm has fixed cost which must be recovered
irrespective of sales volume. The fixed cost remaining the same the percentage change inoperating revenue will be more than the percentage more than the sales
OL = contributionEBIT

Combined leverage
Combined leverage shows the relationship between the change in sales andcorresponding variation in taxable income.
Combined leverage = operating leverage X financial leverage

( References: Dutt & Sundaram Misra & Puri B S Raman HRK)
Structure / Classification of Industries (HRK 204-209)
Large Scale Industries :
Large Scale Industries are those industries which invest huge amounts of capital,reaping the benefits of division of labour and producing goods on a large scale involvingfixed capital investment of more than Rs.10 Cr but less than Rs.100 Cr.

Medium Scale Industries are those industries which are organised on a mediumscale, and produce goods on a medium scale by using machines, hired labour and powerinvolving fixed capital investment of more than Rs.1 Cr but less than Rs.10 Cr.
Small Scale Industries:
Small-scale industries are those industries which are organised on a small-scale, andproduce goods on a small scale by using machines, hired labour, and power.
Ex: Ready garments, paper, electrical goods, etc.

Any industry which is engaged in the conversion of raw materials into finished goods fitfor consumption with the help of men and machines is generally known as manufacturingindustry.
Ex: conversion of iron ore into iron and steel, wood pulp into paper, etc
Industrial Development Under Five Year Plans
( B S Raman 258-267 Dutt & Sundaram 636-640)
India implemented five year plans and industrial development became an integralpart of Indias development planning.
High priority was given to programmes of Industrialization on account offollowing reasons:
o The country was industrially backward and the establishment of new industries of
industries on a big scale and development of the traditional industries was animperative necessity.o Productivity of labour is the highest in manufacturing Industries.o Development of the industrial sector is a pre-condition for agricultural
development.o Industrialization induces development of other sectors. Development of transport,
communications and energy is still more dependant on industrial growth.o Despite the secondary importance given to industry, the annual rate of growth of
20
8/14/2019 Notes on Indian Business Enviornment

industrial output was about 6%.o The overall production of industrial goods increased by 39%.o Capital goods industries like iron and steel were expanded.o A number of public sector industries like HMT, penicillin factory, etc were
established.
o A number of industries like petroleum-refining, cement, penicillin, etc were setup.o Infrastructural facilities like power, transport and communication were expanded
considerably.
Second Five-year plan (1956-61)
This plan was based on the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956 which
envisaged a big expansion of Public sector.
It was really an industrial plan.
Total investment in industries was Rs. 1,180 crores (27% of total plan).
The annual rate of growth was 7.25%.
Industrial production increased by 46%.
Three major public sector steel plants were set up at Rourkela in Orissa, Bhilai
in MP and Durgapur at WB.
This plan witnessed a major diversification of the industrial spectrum.
Most of the investments were in Heavy and Basic Industries.
Tractors, motor cycles, scooters, etc were produced for first time in India.
Good progress was also recorded in modernization and re-equipment of jute,
cotton textiles and sugar industries.
Good progress was made in the production of consumer goods like
fans,radio,etc. About 60 industrial estates comprising 1000 small factories were set up.
Third Five-year plan (1961-66)
Rs.1726 crores(20% of total plan) was allotted for the development of industries
and mining.
The annual rate of growth was 7.9%.
UTI and IDBI were set up in 1964.
A no. of industries like aluminium, automobiles, textiles, etc achieved rapid
growth.
Mining and extractive industries also showed progress. Despite the over-all under-achievement of targets this plan reflected the first stage
of intensive development leading to a self reliant and self-generating economy.
Mining and extractive industries also showed progress.
Despite the over-all under-achievement of targets this plan reflected the first stage

Fourth Five-year plan (1969-74)
21
8/14/2019 Notes on Indian Business Enviornment
22/43
This plan was based on the industrial policy of 1977.
Rs 5298 crores (23%) was allotted.
The actual growth rate was 5% as against 8%.
This plan aimed to enlarge capacities in export promotion and import substitution
industries.
Public sector enterprises had started earning profits.
Fifth Five-year plan (1974-78)
This plan was formulated to achieve the twin objectives of self-reliance and
growth with social justice.
Rs.16,660 cr (26%) was allocated.
Actual growth rate was 6% as against 8%
This plan took many bold steps such as
Removing the restriction on the private sector
Monopolistic undertakings
Foreign investments in India
Sixth Five-year plan (1980-85)
This plan was a very ambitious plan.
It was based on the industrial policy of1980.
Rs.22,200 cr (22.8%) was provided.
Actual growth rate was only 3.7% as against 7%.
There was a shortfall in the production of many industrial goods like cement, iron and
steel, etc.
Industrial progress during this period was most disappointing.
Seventh Five-year plan ( 1985-90)
This plan laid emphasis on the development of infrastructural facilities,
modernisation, upgradation of technology, reduction in cost, accelerated growth inselected industries.
This plan was a success as annual growth rate was 8%.
Total outlay for industries was Rs. 22,460 cr.
The govt had liberalised industrial licensing policy to provide incentives to industries.
Encouragement of Sunrise industries such as telecom, bio-tech, computers, etc.
Industries were encouraged to adopt technologies like laser, robotics, fibre-optic, etc
for enhancing productivity. About 30% of industries had installed Pollution Control systems.
Eighth Five-year Plan (1992-97)
This plan was formulated under Economic Liberalisation and was based on the
industrial policy of 1991.
During this period, the private sector has developed considerable managerial,

The outlay was Rs. 40,670 cr (19% of total plan).
Over all 9.5% growth rate has been achieved.
The factors for the slow growth fo industrial sector:
Could not face foreign competition as a reduction of import duties.
Under utilisation of domestic capacity
Dumping by foreigners
Ninth five-year plan (1997-2002
This plan was a failure as the actual growth rate was only 5% as against 8% of target.
This plan allocated Rs. 69,972 cr for industry.
The internal and external factors are responsible for slowdown.
The failure can be attributed to the fall in public sector investment .
Lack of external demand resulting from slowdown in world economy decelerated the
growth of industrial sector.Changes in Industrial Structure During the Planning Period

Measures of Money SupplyReference : Ahuja 301--303
From April 1977, the Reserve Bank of India has adopted four concepts of money
supply in its analysis of the quantum of and variations in money supply.
The four concepts of money supply are:
1. Money Supply M1 or Narrow Money2. Money Supply M23. Money Supply M3 or Broad Money4. Money Supply M4

DD = Demand deposits with the public in the commercial and Co-operative Banks
OD = Other deposits held by the public with the Reserve Bank of India
C (Currency with the Public) consists of the following:
1. Notes in Circulation2. Circulation of rupee coins asa well as small coins3. Cash Reserves on hand with all banks

Money Supply M2
M2 = M1 + Savings Deposits with the post office savings bank
M2 is a broader concept of money supply
Money Supply M3 or Broad Money
M3 = M1 + Time deposits with the banks Time deposits serve as store of value and represent savings of the people
Time deposits are very liquid.
M3 has become a popular measure of one supply.
M3 is used for monetary planning of the economy and setting target of growth of
money supply.
M3 also called as Aggregate Monetary Resources (AMR).
Money Supply M4
M4 = M3 + Total deposits with Post Office Savings Organization.
Sources of Broad Money (M3) or Factors affecting Money Supply In India
(Dutt & Sundaram-823)
There are Five Factors / sources which contribute to the Aggregate Monetary
Resources in the country:1. Net Bank Credit to Government (A+B)
A. RBIs net credit to Governmenti. Claims on Government
ii. Govt deposits with RBIB. Other Banks credit to Government
2. Bank Credit to Commercial Sector ( A+B)A. RBIs credit to commercial sectorB. Other banks credit to commercial sector
3. Net Foreign Exchange Assets of Banking Sector (A+B)A. RBIs net foreign exchange assetsB. Other banks net foreign exchange assets
4. Governments Currency Liabilities to the Public5. Net Non-monetary Liabilities of the Banking Sector (A+B)
A. Net Non- monetary liabilities of RBIB. Net Non- monetary liabilities of banks.

The Governments approach to PSUs has a three-fold objective: revival of potentially viable enterprises
closing down of those PSUs that cannot be revived and bringing down Government equity in non-strategic PSUs to 26 percent or lower
Governments promiseGovernment would continue to ensure that disinvestment does not result in alienation ofnational assets, which, through the process of disinvestment, remain where they are. It
will also ensure that disinvestment does not result in private monopolies.
Criticisms
Privatisation of profit making public enterprises.Mr. George Fernandes in NDA Govt.
Basic criticism that the funds raised by selling family silver were used to pay
the butler.To set up disinvestment proceeds fund.
Methodology for disinvestment.

Open auction sale during 94-95 to allow NRIs to participate in the offer. Creation of private monopoly in place of public monopoly.
Public sector monopoly is accountable for the parliament but private need not be Valuation of PSUs slated for disinvestment.
Eg: PAC quantified the loss to be of the order of Rs.3000 crores in 91-92 out of Rs.4950
crores raised.
Disinvestment policy and the future of PSUsThe recent changes in the culture of the PSUs as mentioned above also reinforces the factthat by disinvesting highly profitable PSUs, the government is trying to kill the goosewhich lays golden eggs.

b) F.L : Since FL for the two companies is the same both the companies have the samedegree of financial risk, i.e. the tendency of net disproportionately is the same for P Ltdand Q Ltd.
C) C.L : As the combined leverage for Q Ltd is higher than P Ltd has overall higher riskas compared to P Ltd.
Calculation of LeveragesP.Ltd Q.Ltd
