Biological Methods

The methods to tackle problems in the field of biology work almost on the same principles as in any other field of science. Biologists work out the topics and recognize them as problems to be solved. Scientists make keen observations and collect the facts already reported by others. On the basis of these facts, a scientist formulates a tentative statement, called hypothesis. This hypothesis is used of guide further observations and experimentation. This part of the scientific method involves inductive reasoning. In this, a scientist uses isolated facts to reach a general idea that explains a phenomenon. For example, Robert Hooke observed, a thin slice of cork being composed of units, which he called Cells. This led of further observations and experimentation on plant animal material, by M.J Schleiden and T.Schwann, who proposed the cell theory, stating that all forms of life are up of cells.

Levels of Biological Organization

Living organism are highly complex and organized. This complexity and organization is composed of grading of structures with each level based on the one below it, and providing the foundation for the one above it. Life is built on a chemical foundation. This foundation is based on elements, each of which is a unique type of matter. As we know, and atom is the smallest possible unit of an element, which retains all the properties of that element, Further division of this unit produces isolated subatomic particles of which an atom is composed. Atoms may combine in specific ways to form molecules. Simple molecules are formed spontaneously. for example, carbon dioxide. Extremely large and complex molecules are manufactured by living matter ( within the bodies of living organism) The molecules of living matter are mostly based on carbon and provide building blocks of living matter. These are called Organic Molecules. Molecules of different elements comprise a Compound. Along with organic compounds, Inorganic compounds (minerals) are also associated with living organism,for example Human Blood.

Biology And Its Major Fields

Biology is one of the natural sciences, which deals with the things that exhibit the properties of life. Scientist calls these things as "organism". The word biology has been derived from Greek words Bios, life + Logos, discourse, Formerly living organism were classified into two kingdoms i.e plant kingdoms and animal kingdom. The plants were studied under the subdivision BOTANY and the animals were studied under the subdivision Zoology. The latest research has discarded the old concept of two kingdoms of living organism.

The Biology

The biology recalls your previous exposure to biology in early classes. It gives you some novel thoughts of thinking about living things beginning from the molecular levels up to the level of complex organisms. It provides you the basis for systematic observations. Hypotheses, Predictions and experimentation. Finally, this chapter gives you few examples of the endeavors like modern diagnostic, therapeutics control of diseases and techniques like cloning, hydroponics etc, of a number of brilliant biologists.

Bits and Bytes

The microprocessor uses electricity to do its work. Each second, million of electrical on and off signals go to the CPU. The computer turns these into a code of 1's and 0's-- 1 for ON and 0 for OFF. This code uses only two numbers. Since bi- means two, it is called Binary code.
A bit is the smallest piece of information a computer can handle. A bit is either a 1 or a 0. A group of 8 bits is called a Byte. Each character on the computer keyboard has its own special 8-bit pattern of 1's and 0's that makeup its binary code.

Saving and Retrieving Data

When we have done out work on a computer, we may want to keep it for future use. In this case, we will have to save our work onto a floppy disk or hard disk and USB. Otherwise our work will be lost when we switch off the computer.

File
If you have done some written exercises on paper, you will probably keep them in a file or a folder.
Similarly, if we want to save our work done on the computer, we can save it in a file on the disk.
A file cam contain report, drawing or a program. Each file should be given a different name so that we can recognize it later.

Retrieving
To make use of the information already saved on to a disk, we have to retrieve it from the disk. This is like playing a cassette tape to listen to music the music.

Taking Care of Computers


A Computer has no feelings and does not complain. It works quietly and is never tired. But how long it can work for us depends on how well we take care of it. Pupils from different classes share the same computer. Each one is responsible for making sure that his computer is in good working condition. You should always treat the computer with care, keep the computer and workplace clean and follow instruction carefully. You should report a faulty computer to your teacher immediately. The sooner you report it to your teacher, the sooner you will be able to use the computer again.

Power Supply and Ports


At the back of the system unit you would see the power supply and ports. The power supply supplies the fuel (Power) for the computer. It supplies power to the motherboard, the drives and other parts. Another important part is a port.
A port is a connector at the back of a computer where you plug in an external devices such as a mouse, keyboard, monitor printer and other external devices. This allows instructions and data to flow between the computer and the device.

The Hard Drive


A hard drive is a metal disk inside your computer that stores everything that is on your computer. It is normally fixed inside the computer case and cannot be seen. The hard drive is made up of flat round disk which is protected by a metal case. The hard drive is also called the Hard Disk, Hard disk drive or fixed disk.

Storage Devices

Storage Devices are those where computer saves your work and information. Memory and Storage are different. For Example, If you are in math class, you are using your brain for solving math problems---- that is RAM. But if you want to write or store your work you use paper or notebook to pull out information later.
Computers store information in two ways. Information can be stored inside the computer on a Hard disk or stored externally in many ways like Floppy Disk , USB.

Read Only Memory (ROM)


Another part of the computer's memory is its ROM. ROM stands for Read Only Memory. The computer will not forget what is in its ROM--even if it is turned off. the information in ROM is put there when the computer is built. It contains facts the computer needs in order to understand your instructions. A part of your brain has a memory that works like ROM. You might forget the grocery list, but as long as you live, you will never forget how to breathe or swallow. Instinct such as those are your brain's ROM.

You might forget the grocery list, but as long as you live, you will never forget how to breathe or swallow. Instinct such as those are your brain's ROM.

Random Access Memory (RAM)


RAM stands for Random Access Memory. RAM is like you mother giving you a grocery list of milk, bread, and eggs. If you take your list to the store, you will know what yo buy. But if you throw away the list before you get to the store, you may not remember a thing you mother wants. RAM is used for holding programs and data. The contents of RAM are lost when the power of computer system is turned off.

How Computers Remember

Like your brain, the computer also has a memory. In fact, it has different ways of remembering things. One kind of memory is temporary. The computer remembers what you tell it until you turn it off. Then it forgets. Everything you told it is lost. The temporary memory is called RAM
The computer has two kinds of memory chips RAM and ROM.

The Computer's Brain

If you look inside a microcomputer, it may look almost empty. But do not let it fool you. Its tiny parts are more powerful than the giant ENIAC. The computer's main circuit board is called the motherboard. On it are many little chips that look like small lego pieces. Each does a different job.

The CPU
The most important chip inside the computer's case is the CPU, or Central Processing Unit. It is the central and most important component of the system unit. It is the brain of a computer. it directs how information flows in, out, and through the computer. It is also a part that does all the math and other jobs performed by the computer. The CPU is also called the processor or microprocessor.

Information and the Computer

A computer is an information machine. You put information into a computer. Then the computer gives information back to you. Computer performs three operations. The three operations are Input, Process and Output.

INPUT, PROCESS and OUTPUT
Input is information that is put into a computer. The computer receives input through input devices including the keyboard, mouse, joystick and scanner. The CPU process information and sends back output. Output is information that comes out of a computer on output devices like monitor or printer. The monitor shows this output. The printer prints the output on paper.

Hardware and Software

A computer has many parts. These parts are called the Hardware. Some pieces hardware let us talk to the computer or allow the computer to talk to us. When we send information to a computer, it is called INPUT. When a computer send information out through one of its parts, it is called OUTPUT.
The Difference between a computer hardware and software is like the difference between a game and its rules. All the game parts-- the board, cards, markers, and dice-- are like hardware. The rules that tells you how to play the game are like software.
Computer software is an information saved on the diskette. Software can be lists of words or numbers, which we call data. It can also be a computer program stored on a disk. The program is a list of instructions that tell the computer what to do.

The First Computer


Ever Since there have been people, there have also been computers. What were the first computers..? Fingers..! Have you ever used your fingers to add..? The first people did. Even before they had counting words, they used their fingers or pebbles to keep informed about things. Another early computer was the ABACUS. With beads pushed up down the Abacus can add and subtract.

What is Computer..?

A Computer is a machine that can count. It can add and subtract. It can figure out how much money you have after you spent some or earned some. A computer can keep track of things. It can keep a list of your friend's phone numbers or their birthdays. Computer work at high speeds. They can do thousands of problems faster than a person can do one.

Cartels

A Cartels has been defined as " an association of independent undertaking which enforce obligations as to the treatment of output and market, purchase, price calculations or trade terms and therefore, serve to influence the market against the working of free competition.
Through the production quota and price are controlled by the cartel, the units maintain complete freedom of internal management. Thus a cartel is a loose type of horizontal combination formed to eliminate unnecessary and wasteful competition and to secure economies of large scale distribution.

Pools

A pool may be defined as on Association for organization of business established through federation of various units whose member seek control over price by combining some factor in the price making process in a common aggregate and distributing aggregate among the units. The income of combining units may be aggregated, and after deducting the expenses of working the pool, the balance may be divided in a certain proportion. A pooling agreement is always make by member unity producing and dealing in similar products.
So pool is a business federation in which a member of business units combine in order to control prices and eliminate competition among themselves by regulating their total output market or income.

Mail Order Business

The world has now expanded in a way that face to face business become impossible. Development of communication has solved this problem. Communication and Mail services by air, sea and land have provided bright prospectus to business circles. For Instant, FAX is also a developed form of mail. Since recent past, introduction to business through catalogs, magazines and journals has been followed in all developing and developed countries. After having necessary introduction, orders are sent through mail. Products are sent and received by Registered Post. Various forms of mail are as such,play a prominent role in growth of business in present age. The latest mail services is e-mail through computer.

Franchising

Free Trade refers to that state in which there is no restrictions on the movement of goods between countries, placed a view to safeguarding home industries constitute the policy of protection. In the word of Adam smith, the term "free trade" has been used to denote " that system of commercial policy which draws no distinction between domestic and foreign commodities and therefore, neither imposes additional burdens on the latter, nor grants any special favors to the former. Free Trade, However, does not require the removal of all duties on commodities. It only insist that they shall be imposed exclusively for revenue and not at all for protection.

Training Division

The rapid industrilisation of a country demands a sufficient number of skilled labourers, many other under- developed countries, suffers from an acute shortage of this kind of labor force. After the work has been selected and hired for a job, he should be oriented with regard to his duties and company policies. He may need further training to increase his usefulness to the comaony. Even, if the workers are reasonably proficient on the job ther are gaints to be made from a contined training under a well palnned training program.

Inventory Control Division

The main purpose of inventory control is to see that the materials are properly received , stored , protected and issued to the concerned departments or sections as per policy of the enterprise. On recieving the materials they are entered in the Stock Register which is kept usually at the main gate of the Store Room. After making proper entry by the Store Keeper the materials are sent inside the Store Room at the place provided for them. There are seprate sections or areas for different items. There are clerks in those place who maintain bin cards and immediately enter in it and the material so received. When the Store keeper receive requisition, he issue instruction and slip to sectional clerks write diwn in bin cards maintained by them and a balance is made for the material in hand.

Planning and Routing Division

Planning is the part of production control that determines which materials and work are needed in order to produce the products ordered from the manufacturing division. Routing is the part of production control that determines which routes or path the work will take through the factory and where and by whome the procuring shall be done.

Recruitment and Promotion Division

One of the important consideration is personal policy is to devise and workout the way that would assure recruitment and promotion to deserving persons. It is because personal manager knows that one of the motivating factors for employees is an assurance for the better career for them. The hope for earning promotion on the basis of their competency makes the employees work with greater devotion and sincerity. They know that their prospect and fucture promotion lies in their sincere work. This hope creates in them the incentive and interest to work.

Effects of Devaluation

Devaluation lead to higher cost of imports particularly those of industrial raw material, spare parts, inputs for agricultural sectors, machinery, transport equipments defence equipments, main food items like wheat and edible oil. Consequently, the cost of production of domestically produced goods increased. Davluation also increased the burden of foreign debt and its servicing charges as well which, in turn, increased the cost of production for which such loans were extended, their prices increased.

Balance of Payment

International trade and other finanacial dealing between countris make it necessary fir them. In other words, it can be defined simple a record of economic transactions of residents of a country with the rest of the world during a period of one year. It is thus sort of statement of income and expenditure on international account. The main purpose of keeping the record balance of payments is to inform Government of the International postion of the country and to help it reaching decision on monetary and fiscal policy on one hand, and trade and payment question on the other.

Balance of Trade

Balance of Trade is known as the visible balance. This is the relationship between a country's payments  for imports of goods and its reciepts from the export of goods. In other words, Balance of Trade means only the balance between merchandiser trade or visible trade i.e imports and exports of goods. If the value of imports exceeds  the value of exports, we say that the balance of trade is "unfavorable" or is deficit. This debit balance is also known as the trade gap. If the value of exports exceeds the value of imports, we say the balance oftrade is  "favorable" or surplus.

Commercialization

Commercialization refers to full scale manufacturing and marketing of the product. It takes place after analyzing the results of test marketing. Hence commercialization follows after test marketing only. It involves regular production of the commodity for which the company allocates the budget and works at the marketing program.

Test Marketing

Test Marketing is used to minimize the risk of product failure. Moreover, it allows marketing manager to expose a product in a natural marketing environment to obtain a measure of its sales performance. Hence inspire of being expensive, test marketing is carried to avoid great loss due to product failure.

Product Development

Product development carries the study to find out whether it is technically feasible to produce the product and if so at what cost to justify a reasonable price and profit. A working model of photo type is worked out to test its acceptability tangible and intangible attributes and other features that are in consumers mind. Further design and mechanical features of the produce must be liked to wants in market place to assess its overall success. At this stage management must also review copyright packaging and labeling to see that it does not create legal problem. In addition to that the various that will makeup the marketing mix must also be tested.

Business Analysis

Business analysis involves study of pros and cons of the proposed product n the light of market demand firm's objectives, sales costs and profits as well as the capability to manufacture or produce the product within the stipulated period.

Screening Ideas

Ideas so generated require a through evaluation and study to see whether they match the objectives of the enterprise, Hence in the phase of screening ideas, those that do not match enterprise's objectives are rejected. Further, screening product ideas also involves a general assessment of the enterprise's resources. In the process, the largest number of product ideas are rejected due to their being impracticable, unrealistic, or not as per objective of the enterprise.

Idea Generation

Before a new product is introduced, New product ideas can come from several sources, New ideas may come from internal sources: marketing managers, researchers, and other personal of the enterprise, New product ideas may also management consultants, private research organizations and customers.

Product Planning and Development

A business enterprise does have a product policy to guide the product manager to work out this approval towards product planning and development.
Developing and introducing new product is a risky and expensive task. It is risky in he sense that new product may prove a failure between 30% to 90% as per expense quoted by marketing experts. It is expense because it requires a careful process and is time consuming.
The main cause of new product failure is lack of.
But inspire of the risks and expense, new product planning and development is carried to meet need of the time. This is to be so because in the present fast challenging consumers market, failure to introduce new products can also be risky.
Before a new product is introduced, it goes through six phase or stages , which follows , in per post of this blog..... below...

Miscellanous Services

Other functions performed by a Commercial Bank includes, the provision of safety vaults or lockers to keep valuable articles of customers in safe custody, acting as an agent for its customers to buy and self goods and silver securities on their behalf, making and receiving payments on behalf of its depositors and issuing letters of credit, travellers cheques for the convenience of its customers and, and in general, performing all functions which will bring in profits.

Promissory Note

Thus a promissory note is a promise to pay money or in other words it is an undertaking to pay money.

Life-Style Segmentation

This stresses segmentation on the basis of the distinctive mode of living of segments involving questions regarding how they spend their time, the nature of their interest.

Product Segmentation

This is directed towards differences among the products that comprise markets. This segmentation is less rational approach than market segmentation unless there is a great differences among products involved.

Volume Segmentation

This means segmenting of market seeing the extent of use such heavy, medium, light users and those use do not be the product or one perspective users. Again they are further segmented like that of demographic ways.

Socio-Psychological Segmentation

Social Classes, aggressiveness, submissiveness, degrees of cautiousness and venturesomeness with the value differences determine the segmentation.

Demographic Segmentation

Customs are collected in homogeneous groups under demographic similarities like age , gender , education level , income rate etc etc.

Geographical or Territorial Segmentation

Pakistan can be divided into two distinct regions or geographical segments. One segment can be Rural Markets, while the other can be said to present Urban Market. In the same way Pakistan needs the division in many states or territorial regions, according to areas. This segmentation is very commonly need to allocate the territories to the salesmen.

Concept of Market Segmentation

It is an attempt to escape competition by tailoring company's product to a certain target of the market. Market Segmentation is an attempt to render perfect satisfaction to a limited part of the market.
Market segmentation is the process of dividing a total market into market groups consisting of people who have relatively similar product needs. The purpose is to design a marketing mix that precisely matches the needs to individuals in a selected segmentation process.

Service Industry

The last two decades witnessed the emergence of new phenomenon of the Service Industries. They are common with manufacturing industries in so far as the principles of production and management are concerned. Planning is as important in Banking as in the steel manufacturing. Routing must be a major concern of a Taxi Driver as that in any manufacturing Industry. Scheduling is an overriding phase of Doctors and Accountants as in a production concern and controlling is a common feature of all of us to choose our performance in any field.

Customers

The purpose of business is to create customers. Without customers, of course a business can not exist. Customers are people who want product a service a business offer and have the money to but it. Naturally, businessman produce what people want and sell it at as low price as possible. As a result the forces of competition tend to keep price, costs and profits low, But this is not applicable on monopolies.

This is the best way to create interest in saving amongst the low income people as well as children.

Fixed Deposit Account

The Account are called " Timer Deposit" or Term Deposite because the money deposited in this account can withdrawn after the passage of time for which it was deposited. Although this period may vary between 3 to 5 years but generally the money is deposited for one year in these accounts.

This does not mean that even the purchase price of all the commodities is the same; it differs, but difference is one commodity is compensated by the price of another commodity. The range of difference is not generally wide.

Advantages of Free Trade

1.Utilization of Factors of Production:
Under Free Trade every country specialists in the production of those commodities in which it enjoys the maximum advantages.

2. Extensive Markets:
Since no restrictions are imposed on international trade, the commodities can be exported even to distant places in the world.

3. Geographical Division of Labor:
Free Trade results in the geographical division of labor which benefits all the countries of the world.

4. Benefits to the Consumers:
Under Free Trade the indigenous industries have to compete with the foreign industries, hence they try to sell their product at cheap prices cutting down their production cost.

5. Check Up Monopoly:
As the home industries have to face the competitors of foreign industries, they can not setup monopolistic combines to maximize their profit.

6. Improvement in Production Techniques:
Since the home industries have to face foreign competitors, they are forced to reduce their production cost be effective improvements in Production Techniques.

Free Trade

Free Trade, however, does not require the removal of all duties on commodities. It only insists that they shall be imposed exclusively for revenue and not at all for protection.

Automation of Production

Computer can control complex industrial processes and even run machine tools. Computer take directions from a blue print and transfer them into instructions that are then fed to machine tools by means of purchased card or magnetic tape.
With the help of computer system we can easily reserve a seat on an airplane, a bed in a hotel or a seat at a baseball game by dialing a telephone number, recording a report of what is available, a selection, and prevailing the operator without credit card number.

Time Rate System

This method of payment is also known as " Day Wage" or "Day Rate". The majority of workers are paid under this plan and this must necessarily be the case wherever work is intermittent in character and not repetitive or when output is not measureable or depends mainly upon factors outside the workers control.

Stock Exchange

Stock Exchange is an institution which creates contract among the buyer and sellers of shares, sercurities, bonds, and debentures and as such , constitutes the capital market of a country. The shares, securities, bonds, debenture are bought and sold at competitive prices determined under the influence of the their present and prospective earnings.

Micro Financing

Every Country wants to development. and it is also suffering the chronic problem of poverty. If the poor peopleare provided with finance, they have enogh motivation to become self-employed and start cottage industries. This will supplement the large scale industries and other sectors of the economy

Achievement of Economic Growth

When firm increases its expenditure and reduces taxes, businesses start producing more, and more people become employed. With the rise in per capital income, the purchasing power of people increases and the aggregate demand also increases. Therefore, more production and more consumption is a clear indication of economic growth.

Consumer's Behavior

Under Micro-economics, the behavior of the consumer is analyzed according to which consumes his earned income on the daily goods. When a consumer purchases a commodity, he compares the price paid with expected satisfaction from the commodity to be purchased. This aspect of Micro-economics, therefore, includes indifference curve analysis, theory of Utility, demand and its elasticity etc.

Theory of Price

Under this part of Micro-economics, it is analyzed that how are the problems of selection and economy of resources are created due to abundance of wants and scarcity of means..? These problems are solved through the self generating forces of demand and supply in the market system. The theories of demand and supply, in this way, are included in Micro-economics.

Rate of Interest

As the rate of interest increases, saving also increases. When the interest rate increases, the incentive to save increases because by saving people can earn more money. When the interest level decreases, the incentive to save decreases because by saving people will earn less money and will prefer spending rather than saving.

Concept of Reserve Price

The buyers want to buy the good and services at the cheapest prices. The seller want to sell their good and services at the highest price. The interaction of these forces in the market comes at equilibrium where goods and services are traded at equilibrium prices. Sometimes, in the market sellers get lower prices for goods and sometimes they get higher prices for their goods. The minimum price at which are willing to sell serve as a benchmark for them and is referred to as "Reserve Price". Therefore, reserve price is not the market price but is a price where sellers will not want to exhaust their supply. It is sometimes equal to market price and sometimes it is not equal to market price.

The Substitution Effect

The Substitution Effect is the effect only to the relative price change. We compute it by finding the combination that would make the consumer just as happy as before the price change, but if they had to make their choice faced with new prices. To find this point we consider a budget line characterized by new prices but with a level of income such that it is tangent to the initial indifference curve.

Theory of Trade Cycle

Trade Cycle refer to the fluctuation in the level national income. National incom fluctuates from time to time. In other words, some time the economy is in the grip of boom but next time in the grip of slump. It is  analyzed under Macro-Economics that what is the nature, causes and effects of trade cycles....?

Cyclical Unemployment

As the word suggest, cyclical unemployment is due to changes in the business cycles. In expansion, cyclical unemployment is zero or close. In recession, there are more people unemployed. The rate of cyclical unemployment depends upon the fluctuations in the business cycle.

Structural Unemployment

As the structure of economy changes, the types of jobs also changes. Some jobs are created and some jobs are destroyed. For example, if a country's economy changes from agriculture to industry, more jobs are created in the industrial sector and fewer jobs are created in the agricultural sector. Therefore, those who can change and adopt and learn new skills remain employed and other become unemployed.

Frictional Unemployment

This type of unemployment arise because there are always some new people entering and leaving the labor force. Some new businesses start their operations and few old ones shutdown. Some people have found a job, but they are still waiting and searching to find a higher paid job. When people are unemployed due the reason mentioned above, they are said to be fictionally

Isocost Lines

The Iso-cost line plays an important role in determining the combination of factors that the firm will choose for production. An Iso-cost line is defined as a curve representing various combination of two factors, which the firm can buy with given outlay.
Higher Iso-cost lines represent higher outlays (total cost) and lower isocost lines represent lower outlays. The Iso-cost line depends on two things:
  1. Prices of the factors of production.
  2. The total outlay, which a firm has to make on the factors of production.

Isoquant

There are many ways of producing a given level of output, We can use a lot of labor with a minimal amount of capital, or we could invest heavily in capital equipment that requires a minimal amount of labor to operate, or any combination in between. For most goods, there are more than just two inputs. For example in agricultural, the amount of land, water, and fertilizer can all be varied to produce different amounts of a crop. An isoquant, in the two input case, is a curve that shows all the ways of combining two inputs so as to produce a given level of output

Marginal Analysis

Economic decisions are made on the basis of margin. The decision about the level of production, level of cost where costs are minimum, level of utility derived by a consumer, level of revenue which maximizes profit for the firm are all made on the basis of marginal analysis. Marginal analysis is used in following ways:

Phases of Business Cycle

A trade cycle passes through the following four phases :

1. Recession:
Recession is characterized by the following:
  • High level of general unemployment.
  • Maximum fall in the consumers demand.
  • Surplus production capacity (unused production capacity).
  • Fall in the business profits.
  • Fall in in the expectation about the future profits.
2. Recovery:
Following are the symptoms of Recovery:
  • Gradual renewl of investments.
  • Trend of increase in employment.
  • Gradual increase in the consumption of the consumers.
  • Increasing trend in the business profits.
  • Creation of confidence in the business.
  • Either price stability or slow increase.
3.Boom:
Boom is characterized by the following:
  • Acceleration in the consumer spending.
  • Maximum use of production capacity which creates shortage of labour.
  • Production can be increased by labour saving methods of production only.
  • Too much increase in the investment expenditure.
  • Price increase due to increase in demand.
  • Business profits on the highest peek.
4.Recession:
Symptoms of Recessions can be referred as under:
  • Fall in the consumption starts.
  • Suddenly the existing investments are felt non-profitable stopping the new investment.
  • Fall in production.
  • Decrease in the level of employment.
  • Some business are ruined due to fall in the profits.
  • Ar last recession is converted into the severe depression and so a business cycle completes its journey.

Optimum factor Combination

A producer always tries to achieve largest volume of output from given outlay on factors such that these factors are combined in an optimal or most efficient way. The producer maximizes his profits and produces a given level of output with least cost combination of factors. This level of least cost combination of factors will be optimum for him.

Oligopoly

  • Few Producers.
  • Products may be identical or differentiated.
  • Producers have some control over price.
  • Firms advertise their products to create demand for them.

Monopolistic Competition

  • There are a large number of sellers.
  • Products are differentiated (either real or perceived differences).
  • None of the sellers has a large share of the market.
  • Sellers have some control over price.
  • Firms advertise their products to create demand for them.

Monopoly

  • There is only one seller.
  • A single seller is a price setter.
  • A single seller has a complete control over price.
  • There are no close substitutes available.
  • There are no competitors in the market.

Perfect Competition

  • There are large number of buyer and sellers.
  • Buyers and sellers are price takes.
  • Products are homogeneous of identical with no differentiation.
  • There are no barriers to entry and exit
  • Buyers and sellers are perfectly informed of the market conditions.

Market

A market is a mechanism through which buyers and sellers interact and trade goods and services. The combine activities of buying and selling create equilibrium in the market

Price Discrimination

Price Discrimination refers to a tendency in the market where different prices are charged from different sets of customers on factor other than cost. Price Discrimination can be on the basis of regional markets, customer categories, occasions, nature of services etc
Example of price discrimination includes:
  1. A Public utility provided at different prices for residential and commerical users
  2. Goods exported at below market prices (dumping) in other countries to exhaust the surplus supply.
  3. Goods offered at a discount in the discount period.
  4. Goods offered at a discount in rivalry to the competitor
  5. Market skimming strategy and market penetration strategy in marketing new products.

Acceleration Principle

An economic economic theory suggest that as demand or income increases in an economy, so does the investment made by firm. Furthermore, when demand levels result in an excess in demand, firm have two choices as to how to meet demand: they can either raise prices to cause demand to drop, or increase investment to match demand. The accelerator theory proposes that the firms increase their investment to meet the increase in demand.

Effective Demand

John Maynard Keynes developed his theory of Income and Employment on the basis of short period analysis according to which Effective Demand determines the level of income and employment. When the Effective Demand increases, production also increases due to which level of income increases. Consequently, level of employment also increases.It can briefly be said that:
  • Employment is the function of national Income
Effective Demand is determined by Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply. According to Keynes, Aggregate Supply does not change in the short period because supply is related to technical level and technical changes do not take place in the short period. This is the reason that Supply Function remains stable in the short period.

Multiplier and Acceleration

The Multiplier principle implies that investment increase output whereas the acceleration principle implies that increases in output will themselves induce increases in investment.
Acceleration principle explains the link between output and capital investment. It states that an increase or decrease in the demand for consumer goods will cause a greater increase or decrease in the demand for machines required to make those goods. In other words, there is a direct relationship between the rate of output of an economy and the level of investment in capital goods

Multiplier

When autonomous expenditure increases, aggregate expenditure and real GDP. but the increase in real GDP is larger than the change in autonomous expenditure. Therefore, we can define multiplier as:
" The Multiplier is an amount by which a change in autonomous expenditure is multiplied to determine a change in equilibrium expenditure and real GDP."

Multiplier

When autonomous expenditure increases, aggregate expenditure increases, and so does equilibrium expenditure and real GDP. But the increase in real GDP is larger than the change in autonomous expenditure. Therefore, we can define multiplier as:
" The multiplier is an amount by which a change in autonomous expenditure is multiplied to determine a change in equilibrium expenditure and real GDP"

Equilibrium

Equilibrium signifies a state of balance between two opposing forces. When two opposite forces interact with each other, the level where their magnitude is equal creates equilibrium in the system. Equilibrium is time specific. Equilibrium can be disturbed by forces acting to disturb the balance.

Equilibrium in Economics is classified into three types:
  1. Partial or General Equilibrium
  2. Short run or long run equilibrium
  3. Stable or unstable equilibrium

Financial Economies

To operate any business activity, a firm either small or large needs finance. A large scale firm has a generally greater credibility than a small scale firm. Because of its reputation, a large scale firm can obtain finance from banks and also acquire raw materials on credit.

Commercial Economies

A firm needs raw materials to produce output. A large scale form needs more inputs to produce more outputs i.e: it has to purchase raw material in large quantities to produce more output. A large scale firm can obtain raw materials at a cheaper price if it buys them in abundance. Therefore, cost of production significantly reduces which is a huge advantages.

Micro and Macroeconomics Approach

Both of these approaches are interdependent. We can't say that one is more important than the other. Both of these approaches are essential in the study of economics and complement each other in economic analysis.
E.g: If we want to make a building, we will make individual floor effectively only if we have a whole picture of the building in mind

Macroeconomics

The word "Macro" means large. it may be defined as:

Macroeconomics is the study of economics as a whole. it studies national income, total employment, aggregate income, total production and average prices"
It studies economy in a broad way. It takes into account the totality and aggregate of different performance variable like inflation.

Microeconomics

Microeconomics is the study of all small segment of an economy. It can be defined as:

"Microeconomics is the study of how individuals and business make decisions about producing , exchanging, distributing and consuming particular goods and services and the interaction of those decisions in the market"

Labour Supply

Product Life Cycle

Products are like living organisms, they are born, they live, and they die, A new product is introduced into the

Product Life Cycle

Products are like living organisms, they are born, they live, and they die, A new product is introduced into the market place, it grows and when it losses appeal it is terminated. Life of product may be extended through packing , branding and labeling techniques, but eventually it is terminated.

Orientation

American Marketing Association has defined advertising as "Any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsors." In Economics advertising refers to the art of making know to the public either the existence of the supply of a commodity or of a want.

Modern Time

In Business , no doubt, is being expanded every day in the modern time due to constant expansion in the production technology and this is the reason that the sole proprietorship business has been facing a sever competition with the partnership or the joint stock company business. This is the fact that whatever the development and expansion takes place in the business, sole proprietorship business will survive in all the times to come. Large scale business in neither feasible nor possible in all the circumstance and occasion

Using of Software Languages

"COBOL" employs business terminology. "FORTRAN" is a widely accepted language for scientific and mathematics use. "RPG" provides an easy method for program. A small computer to write a business report."BASIC" is extensively used by manager , engineer and teaches.

Software

Software consists of the program and the supplemental materials that are used by personal to give the computer hardware its instructions. Software is prepared by expert who provide input in machine language. They are called Programmer. There are three symbolic languages that may be used by the programmer. These are called as "COBOL" , "FORTRAN" and "RPG" or "BASIC".

Computer Hardware and Software

Under Computer system, the term hardware applies to the machinery of computers. Hardware includes all the mechanical, electronic, electrical and magnetic components of computer system. It can be divided into two categories:
  1. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
  2. All Supporting devices of the CPU
The CPU controls the sequence and pacing of all operations. it receive information from its input units, shuttles that information into its memory unit, and sends appropriate signals to the output unit which translate the resources for human comprehension.

Computer In Business

Computer represent the greatest technological development of our times. They are the miracle of science that have completely revolutionized that working and operational efficiency of business and industry. They know to control the bank accounts, make airline and listed rammed, prepare payrolls, write cheques and make payments. They can control inventories and overseas much of our research. All theses assigments are done in secondsor even in fractions of second.

Channel of Distribution

The Channel of Distribution are the routes along which good flow from produce to customer. In other words we can describe it as to the course taken in a transfer of title to the commodity constitute its channel of distribution.
We can classify the channel of distribution into two groups
  1. Direct Channel
  2. In-Direct Channel
Direct Channel :

Producer>>>>>>>>>>>>>Consumer

Indirect Channel:

Producer>>>Retailer>>>Consumer
Producer>>>Wholesaler>>>Retailer>>>Consumer
Producer>>>Middlemen>>>Wholesaler>>>Retailer>>>Consumer
