They will see the country’s plans for the future and be able to forecast how well they will do. If the country makes changes, for example to minimum wage, this could affect Tesco. If the government put the minimum wage up this will affect how much money Tesco have to pay out for wages. Also if Tesco want to open a store in a country, they will look at the political stability of the country which will determine whether they open the store or not. Great Ormond Street is also affected by political stability. If the country has good stability, Great Ormond Street will be able to get funding for their charity and hospital. Also if the country is stable, people will have more money to donate to GOSH. If the country is unstable, it will affect the decisions that the charity makes.

Then I will compare them both and link them to a business Findings/Content This first country whose economy that is going to be mentioned is the America. The government in America thought that in order for America to make funding and also provide jobs for their people, They should put money in the economy and because of this, the economy hit their lowest point in 1930. Around that time their president chose to design a dam which would be called the hoover dam.Hoover personally believed that by making the hoover dam, they will provide funding in America and make new jobs for people inn the country. America still use this kind of technique right now to expand their country. The idea to invest in the economy in order to increase their economic growth was John Maynard Keynes .

Ways to make sure this happens are opening new businesses so more people will have jobs, also he thought that the government must lower its interest rates because if they are low organisations can extract bank loans more easily and they can also use these loans to develop more outlets, if organisations continue to take out bank loans.

...P6 - Describe how political, legal and social factors are impacting upon the business activities of the selected organisations and their stakeholders. Political Factors: Tesco Government support with an organisation as big as Tesco's there will be many topics that may affect them. For instance political. This could include government support, provide, enhancing skills of the working population of Tesco's which may include training days or induction days if you have just been previously employed. The main factor could be government support which has to routes that it can go down. Direct support or indirect support which also includes the fiscal policy which is linked with taxes, vat and cooperation tax. Loans may be offered to Tesco if they are struggling with been able to spend money on buying new products and better products. For example, during the recession Tesco might not be doing as well as they need to be and they might not be able to spend much money on new things which would increase the amount of money they make. They may then take a loan out from the government so that they can afford what they need to buy. However, they do need to pay this back as well as the interest rate. So for example if Tesco had taken a loan from the government which were £1000 and the interest rate was 5% Tesco would have to pay the government back with £1150. However Tesco don’t normally take loans out because they are never short of money as they are such a big global organisation. ...

...Factor (Political, Technological, Social) Name of organisation 1 impact on business activities and stakeholders. Name of organisation 2 impact on business activities and stakeholders. Consumer protection (Social) Consumer protection is a group of laws and organizations designed to ensure the rights of consumers as well as fair trade, competition and accurate information in the marketplace. This also can be a political factor as it makes the information of the business correct to make sure the business is selling items honestly and fairly. Tesco uses Consumer Protection so that they do not advertise goods as something they are not and to make sure they have described the products correctly to the customers. This can affect Tesco as a business because if they were to sell products to Customers that are described as something else Tesco can get in to problems not following the consumer protection act. They would be heavily fined, which can then lead to bad publicity or some of Tesco's outlets can get closed which could mean that the business would lose a large part of its loyal customers and this could mean that the businesses reputation can go down. Tesco gives Customers the chance for a 28 day refund for goods that they do not want which means that the customers are able to return faulty goods that they have brought from the store or if they feel they do not want the product. This means that Tesco are following the law. This gives the customer the assurance that Tesco are doing...

...P5- Describe the influence of the two contrasting economic environments on business activities within a selected organisation The chosen organisation to which I am going to be writing about is Asda. This is from the fact that Asda is a large supermarket to which everyone knows about. I am going to be looking at their contrasting economic environments on their business activities. There are 2 important economic environments that have an influence on business activities, growth and recession When economic growth occurs, when more goods are being produced and consumed, and incomes are rising. A growth company tends to have very profitable reinvestment opportunities for its own retained earnings. Economic growth will affect Asda as it would increase their profits due to more people wanting more products and wanting to spend their money. As people have more money to spend on luxuries instead of the essentials it means that the higher value products will be brought. For example the finest range or more expensive brands will be bought instead of Asda’s value range, because of this it means more money is being spent in the store which is an advantage for Asda. Fast economic growth also means that Asda’s output is high due to increased demand in products. This would mean that unemployment is lower than it should be. With the business confidence, this means that it may be a high leading to increased investment and could also be classed as a boom. With boom what happens is that they...

...underlying preferences directly!! Application: Miller Beer Miller beer is interested in setting the price for their products to maximize revenues. For simplicity, let’s assume that they only have three products: six packs, twelve packs, and cases. At first pass, we could say that all Miller needs to do is estimate a demand curve: That is, Q = D ( P, I , Z ) Quantity of Beer Function of Price, Income, and other Demographic Variables Problem: What are your units??? Suppose that we treat six packs, twelve packs and cases as three different products. We could estimate three demand curves: Q6 = D(P6 , I , Z ) Q12 = D(P12 , I , Z ) Q24 = D(P24 , I , Z ) That is, the demand for each good as a function of each good’s price, income and demographics. Problem: Shouldn’t the price of a six pack affect demand for a twelve pack??? We would need to add all the cross-prices (prices of other goods) to the estimated demand curves. Q6 = D(P6 , P12 , P24 , I , Z ) Q12 = D(P6 , P12 , P24 , I , Z ) Q24 = D(P6 , P12 , P24 , I , Z ) Problem:...

...Andoni Harrison Intro to Computer Hardware SHJC Assignment # 8 1) State how many Generation of Processor there are. There are six generations of Processor. 2) Explain each of the Generation of Processor. P1 (086) Processor - Intel introduced the 8086 back in June 1978. The 8086 was one of the first 16-bit processor chips on the market; at the time, virtually all other processors were 8-bit designs. The 8086 had 16-bit internal registers and could run a new class of software using 16- bit instructions. [pic][pic] P2 (286) Processor - In 1982, Intel introduced the Intel 80286 processor, normally abbreviated as 286. The first CPU behind the original IBM PC AT (Advanced Technology), it did not suffer from the compatibility problems that damned the 80186 and 80188. [pic][pic] P3 (386) Processor - The third generation represents perhaps the most significant change in processors since the first PC. The big deal was the migration from processors that handled 16- bit operations to true 32-bit chips. [pic] [pic] P4 (486) Processor - Although fourth-generation processors were more about refinement than redesign, the Intel 80486 was another major leap forward in the race for speed. The additional power available in the 486 fueled tremendous growths in the software industry. [pic][pic] P5 (586) Processor - After the fourth-generation chips such as the 486, Intel and other chip manufacturers...
