TASK 1 – SCENARIO 1
Based on the above scenario prepare a written report that addresses
the followin tas!s"
E#plain wh$ so%e co%panies are set &p in p&blic sector' Also disc&ss
the i%pacts of these in an econo%$'
Public sector is that part of the economy which is required to provide basic
government services, which includes such services as, military, public transport,
police, primary education, health care for the poor etc.
In the public sector, the government owns the organizations and the businesses. The
main aim of these organizations is to provide basic services for the members of the
general public.
There are numerous reasons that why some companies are set up in a public sector,
shares can be advertised and sold through the stock exchange, its easier for companies
to borrow from the banks they have government back up, the shareholders havelimited liability, there is cheaper borrowing and bulk purchasing, there is less
competition, more chances of diversity in growth, all the profits and losses are equally
shared.
P! "Pakistan tate !il# is a public limited company, it can raise its capital by
advertising its share that means more people will see it and might invest in it. The
shares can be sold through the stock exchange$ it is open to general public not only
the people who get invited can buy its share. It%s also easier for P! to borrow from
The banks, the banks know that they will get their money back with interest as they
have government back up, in the same case it%s difficult for companies which are setup in a private sector to raise its capital such as the companies in the public sector.
The shareholders have limited liability, which means that they are only liable for the
money they have invested in.
The public sector contributes in various ways to the economy. It helps in economic
development through creation and expansion of infrastructure. &any 'ob opportunities
are created through the merging pro'ects of the government for example building of
an airports, roads etc. it also ensures equality of income, wealth and a balanced
regional development of small, medium and cottage industries, this increases the ()P
and helps in improving the economy. It also ensures easy availability of goods at

The main stakeholders of the business can be the customers, suppliers, employees,
local communities, the government and its agencies. The business activities and its
decisions can have an affect on stakeholders. The stakeholders can have a positive andnegative affect by the same business decision.
The stakeholders of the airport pro'ect are the local private company "investors#,
workers, government, + people living in the rural area, industries, lush green
forest which is a national heritage site.
This airport pro'ect would affect the rural community and all the + people living
in it. This pro'ect will make these people homeless and they will loose their source of
income and 'obs. nemployment of industry workers will affect them heavily, as
they%ll suffer huge loss and at some point they have to be shut down. /nother
disadvantage of this airport pro'ect is that the lush green garden, which is a natural
heritage site would be destroyed which would affect the image of the nation, as its
traditional and cultural values regarding the heritage site would be depleted with it.
In $o&r opinion does this pro(ect contrib&te positivel$ to econo%$
and how can it ens&re desirable allocation of reso&rces'
In my opinion this airport pro'ect will contribute positively to the economy though it
will cause the previous industry to shutdown but relatively it will create high
employment, there will be better infrastructure, transportation and economic and
social development in the area. The airport will be used as an asset to transport
infrastructure, employment be created and it will be used as a commercial activity
0entre.
The government wants the private sector to invest in the economy by facilitating the
local company in the construction of the airport. The government is doing this in
order to ensure stability in both the public and private sectors" / mixed economy is

whereby an economy comprises of both the private firms running in the business
sector and in the public sector. They have the same limited resources provided by the
government, and the private sector would deliver products to an economy, and attempt
to accomplish benefit amplification by offering at the least expensive costs and most
minimal expenses$ they create a ton of demerit goods. 1hile the public sector willdeliver products that they believe are required by the government and that the average
citizens would advantage by devouring them, they create the merit goods. 2esource
allocation is the most effective allotting limited resources and products to their right
territories and firms, so they can be sold productively. 3oth the private and public

/llocation of resources is the analyzing and assigning scarce resources amongst the
producers and other various uses$ this includes the opportunity cost, economic cost,
accounting cost and other costs of resources and services to attain maximum profit
and utilization.
The main parts of an economy are, human, scarce resources "natural# and capital. /n
economic system ensures that all the needs and wants of a society are met. The
production of goods and services are determined by the limited supply of resources.
The government has to decide how to allocate the resources in public and private
sectors in order to meet the needs and to achieve maximum profit.
/s demonstrated by budgetary masters, resources are successfully allocated by
extraordinary market that is in private sector. 2esource allocation happens when an
industry gives the best measure of purchaser satisfaction and endures high profits in
the resources provided by the government. In like manner, in impeccable contention,
firms can enter the business part and drive expenses down and creation up to the pointwhere resource allocation is refined.
The government intervenes in various disguises in order to maintain a balance in
allocation of resources in public and private sectors. In most of the mixed economies,
the public sector is the larger part of an economy. The government provides services
from the taxes obtained from the general public.
/lthough in general resources are more efficiently allocated in a private sector but
without government intervention there are chances of fraud and mismanagement.

4fficient allocation of resources cannot take place in public sectors, as there is no
perception of rivalry present there, and profitable motif. Public sectors work more for
the welfare of the general populace, and concentrate more on the social benefits than
private sectors.
0ifferentiate between fiscal and %onetar$ polic$+ also assess if itsfeasible to i%ple%ent fiscal polic$ to sti%&late econo%ic rowth'
The pioneer of fiscal policy is the renowned 3ritish economist 5ohn &aynard 6eynes.
*iscal policy is the method a government uses to influence a nations economy. There
are two basic types of fiscal policy, the most widely used in the expansionary. The
government ad'usts its expenditure level and taxes rates in order to maintain the
economy. The fiscal policy aims to improve unemployment rates, inflation$ interest
rates and stabilize the business cycle. The second type of fiscal policy is the
contractionary. It is rarely used and is the total opposite of the expansionary fiscal
policy. Its main ob'ective is to slow down the economic growth to decrease inflation.The taxes are increased, government cuts it%s spending in order to battle inflation and
to maintain the economy.
&onetary policy is the method through which banks determine the size and growth of
money supply, which then affects the interest rates. It is maintained by ad'usting the
interest rates, changing the amount of money the state bank are required to keep in the
vault and by buying or selling bonds to the government. 7ike fiscal policy, monetary
policy also has two types, expansionary and contractionary. In the expansionary
money policy the money supply is increased in order to decrease unemployment rate
and increase consumer spending to increase the economic growth. It is also referred to
as 8easy monetary policy9. 1hereas contractionary monetary policy is used to slowdown economic growth by decreasing the money supply in order to tackle inflation.
This causes the unemployment to increase and decreases the consumer buying and the
businesses investing money.
It is feasible to implement fiscal policy to stimulate economic growth. Take an
example of an economy that is facing recession, unemployment rate is high and the
consumer and business spending is low. The government will lower tax rates in order
to increase the economic growth. If fewer taxes are being paid, there will be more
money for the people and businesses to spend or invest in services etc., thus
improving the economy and gives the opportunity to government uses to increasing its
expenditure like building more highways, hospitals, airports, public transport etc. This
will create 'obs and decrease the unemployment rate. This is also known as 8pump priming9, when the government decrease the taxes and increase it%s expenditure to
tackle recession and pumps money into the economy by increasing the consumer and
business spending. Though the government has to be careful while monitoring the
money flow, as too much money in the market can cause inflation, decreasing the
value of money and increasing the demand of consumer products and services.

TASK 2 – SCENARIO 2
3rite a brief note on the i%pact of co%petition polic$ and re&lator$
%echanis%s on co%panies li!e TESCO"
The main ob'ective of the competition policy is to promote competition$ make
markets more efficient and enhanced competitiveness of 6 businesses within the
4uropean union. It also aims to ensure the technological innovations, which then
promotes the dynamic efficiency in the markets. It also effects the price competition
between the suppliers. 0ompetition policy also safeguards and promotes the interests
of consumers through the increased choice in products and low price levels.
There are four main pillars of competition policy in the 6 and in the
4uropean union:
i. Antitr&st and cartels
ii. 4ar!et liberali,ation
iii. State aid control
iv. 4erer control
The antitrust and cartels involves the elimination of agreements that restrict
competition which includes price;fixing and other abuses by the organizations who
hold a dominant market position.
&arket liberalization involves the introduction of competition in the previousmonopolistic sectors of the market such as energy, supply, retail banking, postal
services and mobile telecommunications etc.
tate aid control analyses the competition policy to aid measures such as airline
subsidies to ensure that such measures do not distort the level of competition in the
single market.
&erger control involves the investigation of mergers and takes overs between firms
for i.e. a merger between two large groups, which would result in their dominating the
market.
2egulators enforces rules that they are appointed by the government to oversee how a
market works and the outcomes that result for producers and consumers. The main
competition regulator in the 6 is the 0ompetition and &arkets /uthority. "0&/#
The 4 competition commission is also a vital part for the 6.
2egulators work in such a way, they make laws to reduce monopoly power. They
prevent mergers that create monopolies. 2egulators introduce laws that develop
competition in the postal services industry. They also force the sales of assets. /nother
example of competition policy in action is that privatization takes place, transfer of

ownership. They also introduce tough laws on the competitive behavior. trong laws
and punishments against the proven cases of price fixing are ensured. The
0ompanies that breach the 4 and 6 competition rules risk heavy fines of up to
-< of global turnover and the senior management can also be taken into custody.
They also make reductions in the import tariffs$ it encourages cheaper products from
other nations. It also increases and eliminates import quotas so that they can get thesame effect. They allow new nations into the 4 single economy, which increases
competition.
Tesco will be affected, as it is one of the top super markets in the 6. 7iberalization
involves the introduction of a new competition and it will reduce the restrictions for
the newly setup businesses. This will not be a ma'or problem for Tesco as they are
well established and operate in higher levels of the industry, which is considered a
powerful barrier. The ma'or competitors of Tesco are ainsbury%s, /sda and
&orrison%s. Tesco almost holds =>< of the market share.

E#plain how %ar!et str&ct&re deter%ines the pricin and o&tp&t
decisions of b&sinesses'
&arket structure is the total number of buyer and sellers in the market. There are
many different types of market structures$ perfect competition, monopoly and
oligopoly.
Perfect competition is a market structure where there is a same product and have
different sellers and its price is determined by the demand of the product. The output
decision is determined by the demand of the product. It has a large number of buyer
and sellers. The firms in the perfect competition try to offer low prices to its
customers to increase its market share. The buyer usually set the prices of the
products. *irms are free to enter or leave the market at anytime.

&onopoly is the market structure where there is a sole provider and its prices are
determined by the firm itself and the output decision also lies within the firm. The
customers will have to buy the product on whatever the firm decides to charge the
products price as they wont have an option of buying it from else where at a lower price. The firm will also be bound to complete the demand of the consumers strictly.
?ormally multinational firms have a monopoly in market structures.
!ligopoly is the type of market structure where there are a large number of sellers of
the same product. The sellers determine the price of the product$ they may charge
same prices for their products. It depends on the customers from whom to buy from
and it also depends on the sellers that how they advertise their product and attract
customers.

4ar!et forces shape orani,ational responses" If the new chane oes

be adopted to taret the%'
The forces, which determine the price in an economy, are market forces. They can be$
demand, supply, employees, competitors, customers and the suppliers.
The demand will increase or decrease, accordingly the organizations are going to
respond to it. If the demand of the product increases, the organization will create more
employment in order to meet the demand of the product. They will be able to do so
because the cash inflow will increase giving the organization an opportunity to growand hire more workers. If the demand decreases, the level of cash flow will be low
and the organizations will be forced to cut 'obs.
pecific competitive issues characterize each industry. !ther organizations in the
same industry or type of business that provides goods or services to the same set of
customers are referred to as competitors. In a similar way /udi has many competitors
in the 0hinese automotive market for i.e. &ercedes 3enz. /udi will wage competitive
war against its competitors in order to maintain its repute and to give a challenge for
other competitors to sell their products. ")aft, +@#
!ne of the factors that can determine a change in the /udi is its employee. If the
government has set wages, then the /udi must accept them and pay their employees
rightfully if they fail to do so the employees might leave their 'obs and 'oin another
organization. /part from this every organization needs trained and qualified
personnel. /udi should establish training programs for their employees so that they
can catch up the growing the need for computer;literate knowledge, and to meet the
competitive demands of the borderless world.
The main aim of the organizations is to satisfy their customer by their products and
services. If any organization is lacking advancements in their products or don%t adept
to customer demands and new fashion trending, it will lose its customer because itwasn%t able to meet their demands. *or example if an organization produces mobile
phones. /fter a specific time new technology is introduced in the mobile phones, if
the organization fails to input such things in their products, they%ll lose customers and
their market share will decrease. /udi has to act in a manner in order to maintain its
customer by adapting to the new technological and market changes.
/udi depend upon its supplier, without the supplier the organization can%t produce
goods, they won%t have the supplies in order to make their product. If the suppliers
charge high prices for the raw materials, ultimately the cost of production will
increase of the product. If the product is price elastic and /udi changes its price, there

will be a big demand of the product. /udi can either compromise with the suppliers or
find a new one and if the product%s price is inelastic then it have no effects on the
demand of the product and the organization can freely change the price of the product.
/udi should also ensure that its supplier provides them with high quality supplies and
they maintain a good relation between them.

The general environment affects organizations indirectly. It includes social, economic,
legalApolitical, international, natural and technological factors that influence all
organizations about equally. 0hanges in federal regulations or an economic recession
are part of the organizations general environment. These events do not directly change
day;to;day operations, but they do affect all organizations eventually. ")aft, +-+#
The business and cultural environment affected /udi in a way that their offices were
raided by the antitrust officials and forcefully checked their data. It didn%t disrupt their
reputation amongst the automotive market as the offices of other automotive giants
like &ercedes 3enz was also raided. They were also asked to follow a fixed price
policy as the customers complained they charged high prices. /s /udi has cut its
spare part prices, investigators also checked if they have a good relation with their
suppliers.

Anal$,e the i%pact of lobal factors on ;K b&siness orani,ations"
In modern times there are no economies that are not a part of global economy,
changes in the global economy would affect all the parts of any nation%s economy.
The products that are essential to the primary necessities have the most significantimpact upon the domestic markets. ome other factors like shortage of raw materials
would affect the production of national businesses that rely on the imports of raw
materials for the production of commodities. )ue to international trade, the demand in
the market increases and intensifies. If import is unable to fulfill the demand, the
market becomes volatile, and it may lead to the diversification of a business or it can
equally harm the business.
There are many impacts of global factors on the 6 business organizations. The
global factors can be divided into political, economical, social, technological,
ecological and legal.
Political factor can have a vast affect on the 6%s business organization. The level of
global political stability and the level of bureaucracy in international affairs can have
a prolong affect on the business. The extent of freedom of media can, global trade
control initiatives, threat of international terrorism, tariffs between the 6 and other
countries, (lobal copyright, patent and intellectual property disputes are the political
factors which influence the businesses in the 6.
In economical the following factors affect the business in 6, impacts of intensifying
economic globalization, global economic crisis, changes in the stock market, cost
advantages possessed by emerging super powers for i.e. India, / and 0hina, the
impact of the 1orld bank and the 1orld trade organization and the increasingimportance of outsourcing and offshoring initiatives.
ocially, the changes in family values on a global scale, the changes in the family
patterns for i.e. same sex marriages, increasing popularity of immigrations and
migration practices, increasing mobility between social classes and the greater
concern for the minorities in the society would affect the businesses in 6.
7evel of technological infrastructure, industry specific technological advancements,
regular emergence of innovative communication technologies and the adoption of

competitive technology as the competitors are always increasing also affect the
businesses of the 6 technologically.
The impacts of global warming, increasing of pollution, increasing levels of the
sensitivity towards ecological problems among the stakeholders and the activities of the global environmental organizations also affects the businesses in the 6.
/nother factor that can influence the businesses of the 6 are the laws and
regulations related to data protection, global data protection rules and regulations,
increasing levels of globalization and the changes in cross country employment and
the health and safety laws. They all come under the legal factor that has an affect on
the organizations of the 6. .ones and Evans+ 2615/"
The effect of expanding level of multiculturalism in workforce is another factor
affecting the worldwide power on 6 organizations. !n one hand, multiculturalism
can advantage organizations in the 6 through offering crisp and fluctuating points of view to customary business issues. Then again, large amounts of multiculturalism in
the working environment can create errors because of diverse contrasts and this can
have negative effect on the execution of 6 organizations.
6 has great notoriety everywhere throughout the world for their progression in
innovation and worldwide variable gives the chance to 6 business associations to
lead business everywhere throughout the world.
There will be a greater opportunity for selling goods in other countries by opening up
new markets and it will give the chance of higher sales. There will be increased
competition, which will give the organizations higher incentives to become more
competitive internationally. There is also a wider choice of locations and many vast
opportunities to open up new operations in other countries and give a chance to
organizations to transform into multinational. The mergers will have greater freedom
to arrange and take over firms from other nations. "timpson and *arquharson, +-#

The 4uropean union is the economy of the world and it means that all the members of
the 4 can have free trade with other member states. The 6 business activities have
increased dramatically when it 'oined the 4. 2educed taxes and freedom from other
fiscal measures and policies have made a huge impact on the 6 business
organizations and they can en'oy higher profits and can operate more freely without
much government intervention. /nother factor of 4 membership is that all the
organizations from all over the world are bound by the regulations and policies of
other 4uropean nations, while business belonging to the 6 and other member states
are not. They have a higher profit margin and success rate within the 4. 4 policies

have also made changes to the general policies and many products, which were
prohibited from being traded, can now be freely traded across different 4 nations.
The 4%s policy ensures that the market competition remains free and that the
organizations work efficiently to provide the best products to the customers in
reasonable prices. This ensures that no organization can create a market situation
where it is gaining high profits at the expense of other organizations. The chances of
surviving for the new and small;scale businesses are enhanced. The policy for
violation being rather stiff, the following rule is followed to the letter and monitored
strictly by the concerned agencies. These policies can be restrictive for large
businesses. 4%s trade policies with other parts of the world are binding on all
members of the 4 and it gives certain advantages in bargaining with the member
states.
