Notes on Introduction to Managerial and Economical Demand
Notes: Industrial And Technology Management (TE Electrical Engineering) Unit I (University of Pune)
Topics Covered: Economics, Micro-economics and Macro-economics, Theory of Supply and Demand, Forecasting, Management, Business Ownership, Organisation Structure
Introduction To Economics
This document discusses key concepts in economics including:
1) It defines economics as the study of how society allocates scarce resources among competing demands. It also discusses microeconomics and macroeconomics.
2) It outlines the basic economic problem of unlimited wants and scarce resources, and how this leads to resource allocation and choice.
3) It explains key economic terms like efficiency, opportunity cost, comparative advantage, demand and supply, and different market structures including monopoly, perfect competition, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition.
1.what is economics
This chapter introduces economics and key concepts like scarcity, trade-offs, and opportunity costs. It discusses how economists use models to study the real world. The main points are:
1) Economics involves making choices because resources are scarce and wants exceed what's available. The four factors of production are land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship.
2) Trade-offs require sacrificing one thing for another and create opportunity costs, like the value of the next best alternative given up. Production possibilities curves illustrate the maximum amounts of two items an economy can produce.
3) Economists use models as simplified representations to explain behavior. Microeconomics examines individuals and firms while macroeconomics looks at whole economies

Economics slides
This document defines economics and distinguishes between microeconomics and macroeconomics. It explains that economics studies how individuals, businesses, governments and societies cope with scarcity. It also discusses the two main economic questions of what, how, and for whom goods and services are produced. Additionally, it covers key ideas in economics like incentives, tradeoffs, and opportunity cost.
Lu 1 introduction_to_micro
This document discusses key concepts in economics including:
1. It defines economics as the study of how scarce resources are used to satisfy unlimited human wants.
2. It illustrates the production possibility curve to show the tradeoffs between producing different goods with limited resources.
3. It provides an overview of different economic systems and how resources are allocated in each.
Ten Principles Of Economics
The document outlines 10 principles of economics: 1) People face tradeoffs when making decisions; 2) The cost of something is what you give up to get it; 3) Rational people think at the margin by comparing marginal costs and benefits; 4) People respond to incentives. Trade can make everyone better off and markets are generally a good way to organize economic activity, though governments can improve outcomes during market failures. A country's productivity determines its standard of living. Inflation results from too much money printing by the government, and there is a short-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.
Micro unit 1
This document defines many key microeconomics terms across several categories:
1. It introduces foundational microeconomic concepts like scarcity, factors of production, and opportunity cost.
2. It then covers production possibilities curves and efficiency concepts like productive and allocative efficiency.
3. Finally, it discusses different economic systems like traditional, command, and market economies as well as transactions and property rights.
Lahainaluna Intro to business day 4 2012
The document outlines the key concepts of economic systems, including the three economic questions that must be answered by every society: what goods and services to produce, how to produce them, and for whom to produce them. It describes three main types of economic systems - traditional/custom-based, directed/planned, and market - and identifies the United States system as a market economy. A market economy answers the economic questions through individuals' buying and selling activities in the marketplace. The document also defines capitalism and private enterprise as involving private ownership of economic resources and freedom for individuals to decide what to produce.
Economic Systems
This document discusses different types of economic systems and how they answer key questions about what to produce, how to produce it, and who gets to consume it. It contrasts command economies, where the government makes these decisions, with market systems, where private individuals and markets make these decisions. While command economies ensure certain goods are produced, they can lead to shortages and lack innovation. Market systems incentivize innovation but can result in income disparities. Most modern economies, like the U.S., have mixed systems that incorporate some government intervention alongside market forces.

Ch1 sec1
The document provides an overview of key economic concepts including:
1) Economics is the study of how society manages its scarce resources based on needs and wants. People face tradeoffs when making decisions.
2) Rational individuals make decisions by weighing marginal costs against marginal benefits. They respond to incentives in their choices.
3) Markets are generally efficient at allocating resources, though governments sometimes intervene to address market failures or inequities. Productivity determines living standards while inflation stems from too much money growth. Societies experience short-run tradeoffs between inflation and unemployment.
Ce 13
The document discusses changes to the DSM-5 guidelines for diagnosing bipolar disorder in children. It notes that many children are now being diagnosed with mental disorders at a young age in hopes of managing symptoms before they become problematic, as this may help reduce violent outbursts later in life. The article focuses on the issue of taking mental health more seriously, as mental illness appears to be a factor in many acts of violence. It examines how perceptions of mental illness as taboo need to change, as mental health conditions can be as serious as physical illnesses.
Ce 12
The Westboro Baptist Church planned to protest the funeral of Jeff Hanneman, the guitarist and founder of the band Slayer, holding signs stating their beliefs that homosexuality and abortion are wrong and deaths are God's punishment. While the church has freedom of expression, personally attending funerals to protest is disrespectful. The writer wishes the church would keep their beliefs private instead of trying to force their opinions on others.

The Democrats and Republicans differ in their policy platforms, with Democrats generally more liberal and Republicans more conservative. Political parties are organized at the national, state, and local levels through elections. Political machines and corruption, like Tammany Hall, have led to reforms checking party power. Candidates
