Differences between micro and macro perspective of healthcare. MACRO-PERSPECTIVE: Macro perspective is a form of analysis which focuses on the structure of society and provides a way of seeing society as a unified whole. In this macro perspective minimal attention is given to the individual or the subjectivity of actors - the structures of society are thought to be primary and responsible for shaping the individual. MICRO- PERSPECTIVE: A micro perspective focuses on the individual level, while a macro perspective focuses more broadly on society. Ethics is a major concern in the health care field. Health care professionals must ensure that they are benefitting patients and meeting ethical and moral guidelines in the provision of care. There are two types of ethical issues facing the health care community: micro issues and macro issues. Micro issues cover issues that arise on a daily basis, and they involve such factors as technological change and dealing with a diverse population.

...important role inthe growth process of an economy. Various FDI theories provide the motivations and determinants ofFDI.

...Position Paper 1 Technological advancement during the Industrial Revolution ultimately laid the foundations that enabled the creation of a workplace that promoted efficiency, discipline, and coordination. This workplace has become a symbol for the shift from home industries to the modern industrial firm known as a factory. Technological advancement can be classified into two categories: macro-inventions and micro-inventions. Macro-inventions are technological advancements of sufficient importance that dramatically change the production process. Micro-inventions are minute alterations to preexisting forms of capital that serve to enhance or improve its performance. There is a great debate, specifically concerning the British Industrial Revolution, over whether successful technological change is based on breakthrough inventions or small, incremental improvements to known techniques. With changes in technology and the workforce came the centralization of employees. Centralizing the workforce dramatically changed the basic functions of a family and the household. Families adopted a new specialized lifestyle in which they had to adhere to the schedule of the factory. The in industrial revolution can be defined through a three pronged sequence of change: a small sector economy that underwent drastic technological change, as a consequence this sector grew exponentially, and this growing and advancing economy spread to surrounding sectors allowing for trade to occur. Technological change...

...There are two kinds of external marketing environments; micro and macro. These environments’ factors are beyond the control of marketers but they still influence the decisions made when creating a strategic marketing strategy. micro and macro environments Micro Environment Factors The suppliers: Suppliers can control the success of the business when they hold the power. The supplier holds the power when they are the only or the largest supplier of their goods; the buyer is not vital to the supplier’s business; the supplier’s product is a core part of the buyer’s finished product and/or business. The resellers: If the product the organisation produces is taken to market by 3rd party resellers or market intermediaries such as retailers, wholesalers, etc. then the marketing success is impacted by those 3rd party resellers. For example, if a retail seller is a reputable name then this reputation can be leveraged in the marketing of the product.
