...The UK government sets monetary policy by adjusting the funds rate. This affects other short-term and long-term rates, including credit-card rates and mortgages. Governments define fiscal policy by setting taxation levels and writing legislation and regulation for everything from health care to the environment. Fiscal and monetary policy changes can affect businesses directly and indirectly, although competitive factors and management execution are also important factors. Businesses Go through cycles of expansion, recession and recovery. Monetary and fiscal policies can affect the timing and length of these cycles. In the expansion phase, the economy grows, businesses add jobs and consumer spending increases. At some point, known as the peak, the economy overheats and the government increases interest rates to stave off inflation. Factories shut down, job losses rise and business sales fall. Rate cuts and government spending, or both, are often necessary to recharge the economy. Eventually, the economy hits rock bottom, known as the trough, and gradually starts to recover. Fiscal Policy Fiscal policy usually involves changes in taxation and spending policies. Lower taxes mean more disposable income for consumers and more cash for Balfour Beatty to invest in jobs and equipment. Stimulus-spending programs, which are short-term in nature and often involve infrastructure projects, can also help drive business demand by creating short-term jobs. Increasing income or consumption...

...P4 Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a way of settling disputes without going to court. There are four ways of ADR, these are: Negotiation Mediation Conciliation Arbitration Negotiation: this is the first way of ADR and the parties involved (which is usually two or more) attempt to come to an agreement or try to compromise before using any other methods of ADR. This can be done with or without a solicitor however the decision made is not legally binding. Negotiation is private as only the parties involved are there when the negotiation takes place, it is also cheap as there is no cost unless a solicitor is involved. Mediation: there are always three or more parties involved in mediation and one of the parties is the mediator. The mediator doesn’t have an active role in resolving the dispute but acts a facilitator so the parties find a way to solve their issues themselves, even if the issue is resolved the decision made isn’t legally binding. Conciliation: unlike mediation where the mediator doesn’t have an active role, in conciliation the conciliator does. The conciliator suggests ideas that would solve the dispute between the parties however the decision that may be reached is not legally binding. Rather than the parties going to court conciliation is offered to them as an alternative, this is usually done in the workplace. Arbitration: out of all methods of ADR arbitration is the only one where the arbitrator has the authority to make the decision...

...from social involvement with others as they get older; older people would have restricted opportunities to interact with others due to reduced health and social opportunities. Activity theory- It has been argued that older people needed to disengage, but that they also needed to remain ‘active’ in order to prevent disengagement going too far. Bromley said ‘It is not sufficient merely to provide facilities for elderly people. They need to be educated to make use of them and encouraged to abandon apathetic attitudes and fixed habits.’ Too much disengagement would lead to ‘stagnation’ and a loss of mental and physical skills. Elderly people need to stay somewhat engaged in social activity to avoid becoming completely isolated from society.

The organisation I have chosen to refer to in this part of my assignment is Microsoft. Microsoft is an American multinational software corporation headquartered in, Washington that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of products and services related to computing including Laptops, computers, Xbox 360 and Xbox one.

Below I will describe how different fiscal policies will directly affect Microsoft and its customers. Cuts in income tax If the government fiscal committee decide to cut income tax then this has a direct effect on organisations because it means Microsoft will gain more disposable income and capital spending as some of their revenue income which would go to government is being kept...
