ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Economic Environment refers to all


those economic factors, which have a
bearing on the functioning of a
business. Business depends on the
economic environment for all the
needed inputs.

It also depends on the economic


environment to sell the finished
goods. Naturally, the dependence of
business on the economic
environment is total and is not
surprising because, as it is rightly said,
business is one unit of the total
economy.

investment choices and competitive strategies.

• Economic analysis looks at several indicators of an economic environment with emphasis given to
how local conditions require adjusting analysis and interpretation.

• The economic environments of foreign companies and markets can help managers predict events
that might affect the company’s future performance.

TYPES OF ECONOMIC SYSTEM

MARKET ECONOMY: A system in which individuals, rather than


government make the majority of the economic decisions.

Gives individual freedom to decide where to work doing what,


how to spend or save money and whether to consume now or
later.

Private Ownership of resources under Market Economy:


Individuals make decisions therefore market economy depends
on individuals and companies owning and controlling resources
rather than government.

Consumers influence the allocation of resources through their


demand for products.

MARKET ECONOMY

Role of Government Intervention:

• Depends on few government restrictions as possible.

• Believes that less invisible the “hand” becomes due to


government intervention , less efficiently the market will run.

• The invisible hand is not infallible, given the needs for some
public goods.
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

TYPES OF ECONOMIC SYSTEM


COMMAND ECONOMY: Also known as centrally planned economy.

• Government owns and controls all resources.

• The government commands the authority to decide what goods


and services, the quantity in which they are produced and the
price at which they are sold.

• Governments owns the means of production which are


managed by employees of state.

• Prices do not change much but quality of goods dramatically


affected.

COMMAND ECONOMY: Also known as centrally planned
economy.

• Most Products are short in supply.

• Consumers have few alternatives.

• Not much incentive for companies to innovate.

• Little profit to invest in upgrades.

• ADVANTAGE: State has ability to mobilize unemployed


or underemployed resources to generate growth.

MIXED ECONOMY: Fall in middle of Capitalist and
communism.

System in which economic decisions are largely market


driven and ownership is largely private, but the government
intervenes in private economic decisions,

Has elements of – market and central planning economies.

The government owns key factors of production yet


consumers and private producers influence price and
quantity.

Economic Conditions: Economic policies of a business unit are largely affected by the economic
conditions of an economy. Any improvement in the economic conditions such as standard of
living, purchasing power of public, demand and supply, distribution of income etc. largely affects
the size of the market.

Economic Growth: It’s a sustained increase in per capita national output or NNP over a period of time.
Rate of increase in total output must be greater than the rate of population.
National output is composed of such goods and services which satisfy the maximum wants of the maximum
number of people

Determinants of EG
• Human resources and its quality
• Natural resources
• Capital formation
• Technological development
• Social and Political factors

Business Cycle:
Economic Growth in countries have not followed a
steady and smooth trend.
There are long upward trend in GNP, but with
periodical short –run fluctuations in economic
activity. The economies of the countries have shown
period of economic expansion alternating with
period of contraction.

Thus Business / Trade Cycle:

“ Fluctuation of Economic activity characterized by


alternating periods of expansion and contraction.”
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Business cycle is another economic


condition that is very important for a
business unit.

Business cycle has 5 different stages viz.


(1) Prosperity, (2) Boom, (3) Decline, (4)
Depression, (5) Recovery.
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

PHASES OF THE BUSINESS CYCLE

Expansion/Growth : During this phase of the business cycle, consumer


and business spending rise. Unemployment will drop during this phase,
which will further aid consumer spending.

Peak : After a period of growth, an economy will reach a peak, where


business is producing at or near full capacity, and the economy is at or
near full employment.

Recession : This is a phase when real GDP begins to decline. Consumers


and business reduce their spending, unemployment rises, investment
declines, and pessimism about the economy is likely to grow.

Trough/Depression : This is the lowest point of the business cycle.


Factories will be operating below capacity, allowing unemployment to
reach high levels. Jobs are difficult to find in this phase, and many
businesses may fail.

Recessions and Depressions

Economists say there have been 33 recessions in the United States


since 1854 through to now in total. Since 1980, there have been four
such periods of negative economic growth that were considered
recessions. Well known examples of recessions include the global
recession in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the Great
Depression of the 1930s.

A depression is a deep and long-lasting recession. While no specific


criteria exist to declare a depression, unique features of the Great
Depression included a GDP decline in excess of 10% and an
unemployment rate that briefly touched 25%. Simply, a depression is a
severe decline that lasts for many years.

Classification of countries based on Economic Development:

• Developing countries are countries with economies that have a low gross domestic product (GDP) per
capita and rely heavily on agriculture as the primary industry.

• A developed country—also called an industrialized country—has a mature and sophisticated economy,


usually measured by gross domestic product (GDP) and/or average income per resident. Developed
countries have advanced technological infrastructure and have diverse industrial and service sectors.

• Underdeveloped economy is that economy in which there are low levels of living, absolute poverty, low
per capita income, low consumption levels, poor health services, high death rates, high birth rates and
dependence on foreign countries.”

income is important to economists when they are
considering: – Economic growth and where a
country is in the business cycle – Changes to
average living standards of the population –
Looking at the distribution of national income (i.e.
measuring income and wealth inequalities)

Inflation and Deflation

Inflation is the decline of purchasing power of a given


currency over time. A quantitative estimate of the rate at
which the decline in purchasing power occurs can be
reflected in the increase of an average price level of a basket
of selected goods and services in an economy over some
period of time. The rise in the general level of prices, often
expressed a percentage means that a unit of currency
effectively buys less than it did in prior periods.

Deflation is a general decline in prices for goods and


services, typically associated with a contraction in the supply
of money and credit in the economy. During deflation, the
purchasing power of currency rises over time.

SOURCE:INVESTOPEDIA
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT- Other economic factors

• Creeping or mild inflation is when prices rise 3% a year or less. According to the Federal
Reserve, when prices increase 2% or less, it benefits economic growth. This kind of
mild inflation makes consumers expect that prices will keep going up. That boosts demand.

• Walking inflation (2-10%) When inflation is in single digits – less than 10%. At this rate –
inflation is not a major problem, but when it rises over 4%, Central Banks will be increasingly
concerned. Walking inflation may simply be referred to as moderate inflation.

• Hyperinflation is a term to describe rapid, excessive, and out-of-control general price increases
in an economy. While inflation is a measure of the pace of rising prices for goods and
services, hyperinflation is rapidly rising inflation, typically measuring more than 50% per month.

• Refers to a type of inflation that occurs when the prices of goods and services increase at two-
digit or three-digit rate per annum. Galloping inflation is also known as jumping inflation. In the
words of Baumol and Blinder, “Galloping inflation refers to an inflation that proceeds at an
exceptionally high.”
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT- Other economic factors

• Stagflation refers to an economy that is experiencing a simultaneous increase in inflation and


stagnation of economic output. Stagflation was first recognized during the 1970's, where many
developed economies experienced rapid inflation and high unemployment as a result of an oil
shock.

• Core Inflation: An inflation measure which excludes transitory or temporary price volatility as in
the case of some commodities such as food items, energy products etc. It reflects
the inflation trend in an economy. Some goods and commodities have extremely volatile price
movements

• Wage push inflation is an overall rise in the cost of goods that results from a rise in wages. To
maintain corporate profits after an increase in wages, employers must increase the prices they
charge for the goods and services they provide
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT- Other economic factors

Money Supply: Money does not have any inherent


value

It is valuable because it is:

Medium of Exchange: – the most convenient medium


of exchange.
All the things which have utility are available in
exchange for money.
Under barter system where goods (or services) are
exchanged for goods (or services) dual coincidence of
wants is the basis for exchange.

Measure of Value: – Provides a common denominator


to all types of goods and services.
Store of Value: – Can be saved for future with
convenience, whereas other goods can be saved for a
limited time period only.
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT- Other economic factors

Demand for Money:

Keynes has identified three motives to hold money


Transaction Motive:
• Consumers need money to meet their day to day needs,
• producers need money to make investments.

Precautionary Motive:
• To cover for unforeseen events such as sickness, accidents
and losses, money is kept as precaution for contingency. –

Speculative Motive:
• For making gains from speculation on future value of
bonds and securities.
• Money may be demanded as a flow (transaction motive)
as well as a stock (precautionary motive).
• Money as a flow is that which is in circulation.
• Total money supply at any point of time consists of money
in circulation as well as in stock (in various forms of savings
and deposits).
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT- Other economic factors

Supply of Money

• Earlier money was in the form of coins,


composed of gold, silver and copper
,etc. Value of the coins was based on the
value of the metals they contained.
• A currency issued by the government is
called a fiduciary issue (based on trust
and confidence).
• Modern form of money is simply pieces
of paper or numbers in a ledger.
• System of paper money was introduced
based on the gold standard or silver
standard or some combination of the
two, to ensure people’s faith in the
system.
