11. Q2.1 How economic systems prevalent in that country attempt to allocate
and make effective use of its resources:
Economics is the social science that analyzes the production, distribution, and consumption
of goods and services.
Economic systems have developed over time for the express purpose of allocating resources.
Techniques for allocating resources have emerged like a process of natural selection, with
those that work becoming incorporated into the economic system and those that fail being
eventually rejected.
This process has been a major factor in the gradual improvement in living standards.
Nowadays, the most highly developed nations enjoy material standards inconceivable to their
forebears at the turn of the century, and still well beyond much of the rest of the world.
Much of this is due, not simply to greater exploitation of the world's resources, but to more
efficient systems of exchange, leading to better allocation of resources.
So efficient systems of exchange are central to economic and social well-being. Owning a lot
of resources will not ensure prosperity, unless at the same time there is a system of resource
allocation available to make efficient use of these.
We need to reconsider some of the ways in which we allocate resources because of concerns
about long term sustainability of environmental resources
Despite rapid improvements in material well-being, which are rapidly spreading across the
world, the rates of economic growth which have supported these improvements since the 2nd
World War have drawn attention to the demands we now place on our environmental
resources.
Economic system in the environment to produce them, how much to produce, and how to
distribute them. There are four types of resources that go into creating an economic system.
Therefore resources have to be allocated in terms of what to produce, how to produce, and for
whom to produce. Fundamental allocation of resources in different types of economy.
Demand-and-supply analysis is used to explain the behaviour of perfectly competitive
markets, but as a standard of comparison it can be extended to any type of market. Economic
theory may also specify conditions such that supply and demand through the market is an
efficient mechanism for allocating resources.

13. Q2.3 Evaluate the impact of Macroeconomic policy measures and the
influence of the global economy on UK base organisation and stakeholder
Macro economy Policy:
Macro economics Policy of the government towards the level of the exchange rate of its
currency, it may want to influence the exchange rate by using its gold and foreign currency
reserves held by its central bank to buy and sell its currency. It can also use interest rate to
alter the value of the currency. A fall in the exchange rate will mean that the price of imports
will rise while exporters can choose either to lower prices for their buyers or leave them the
same and increase their profit margin. As a result domestic producers should become more
internationally competitive. However, higher import price may fuel a rise in inflation in the
economy as a result the pricing of products could be high which positively impact on
business.
Government has increasingly passed fiscal policy and regulation that affect the operation of
business.
State growth and fiscal regulation influence the hiring and firing of employees, influence
advertising practices and global economy.
In addition, government increased tax policies influence the financial structure and
investment decisions of UK base organisation and the influence of the global economy on
UK base organisation and stakeholder
Global Economy:
The economic cycle can significantly affect buying decision of customer. 2009 has seen a
downturn in the UK. Massive recession was in the UK.
International economy and a consequence is slowing down in large customer‟s commitment
to long term investment and purchasing power. Harsh economic condition batters UK
business.
Deflation and recession which influence of the global economy on UK base organisation and
stakeholder
Economy recovery is clouded by uncertainty as credit remains hard to obtain and public
spending is slashed but inflation remains too high, then eventually customers will have to
invest and increase purchasing power. Domestic producers should become more
internationally competitive. Higher import price may fuel a rise in inflation in the economy
as a result the pricing of products could be high which positively impact on business.
