This document contains 15 multiple choice questions about corporate level strategy concepts including:
- Types of corporate level decisions regarding portfolio management, scope, and adding value to businesses
- Advantages and disadvantages of integration strategies

This document contains 15 multiple choice questions about Porter's Five Forces framework and other strategic management concepts. Porter's Five Forces framework analyzes competitive rivalry and industry structure based on the threat of new entrants, power of suppliers and buyers, threat of substitutes, and competitive rivalry. It assumes industries are a "zero-sum game" where one firm's gains come at the expense of others. The document tests understanding of key concepts like barriers to entry, differentiation, and supplier/buyer power that influence industry competition. It also covers extensions like adding complementors as a sixth force and the concept of "co-opetition" involving both competition and cooperation between firms.
This document defines key terms related to corporate governance including blockholders, exit and voice based mechanisms, golden parachutes, junk bonds, and poison pills. Blockholders are shareholders with large blocks of shares. Exit based mechanisms focus on shareholders exiting by selling shares, while voice based mechanisms involve shareholders voicing concerns through the board. Golden parachutes provide large compensation for managers if a firm is taken over, junk bonds are rated below investment grade, and poison pills allow rights to purchase additional shares from a bidder at higher than market prices.

The document discusses various concepts and theories related to corporate governance:
- Corporate governance involves issues of power and accountability. Ownership and control are separated in corporations, leading to potential agency problems as managers may not always act in shareholders' interests.
- Stakeholder theory argues that corporations should consider the interests of all stakeholders, not just shareholders, as profit maximization is not the sole objective of organizations.
- Milton Friedman is considered the main proponent of shareholder theory, which views profit maximization as the primary goal of corporations. R.E. Freeman is seen as the key figure behind stakeholder theory.
- Events like the Enron scandal led to interventions like the Sarbanes-

Financial markets & the special case of moneyAshar Azam
1. Financial markets channel funds from savers to investors, promoting economic efficiency and growth while affecting personal wealth and business behavior.
2. Financial markets are classified as debt markets, which include money markets for short-term loans and capital markets for long-term loans, and equity markets for common stocks.
3. The main functions of the financial system are financial intermediation, where savers' surplus funds are channeled to borrowers through financial intermediaries like banks and non-bank institutions.
1) Consumption theories developed by Milton Friedman and Franco Modigliani view consumption as based on permanent income and the life cycle.
2) A consumer's consumption is determined by their total wealth, including nonhuman wealth like financial assets and housing, and human wealth as the present value of expected future labor income.
3) Consumption depends on current income as well as total wealth and expectations about future income, interest rates, taxes, and asset values affect consumption directly and indirectly.
Central banks play a key role in monetary policy and the economy. They influence money supply and interest rates through tools like open market operations, reserve requirements, and interest rate policy. The primary objective of monetary policy is typically price stability, while also promoting goals like full employment. Central banks use both direct and indirect market instruments to achieve their objectives.
Exchange rates & international financial systemAshar Azam
There are different exchange rate systems that determine how currencies relate to one another. These include freely floating rates set by supply and demand, managed floats where central banks intervene in volatile markets, target zones where rates are kept within an agreed upon range, and fixed rates where one currency is pegged to another. Historically many currencies were backed by gold or silver, tying exchange rates directly to the value of the commodities, but most currencies now have no intrinsic value.
National income measures total income including wages, corporate profits, and taxes. It is broader than personal income which only includes wages and transfer payments. GDP is the total market value of final goods and services produced within a country in a period. It can be measured by production, expenditure, or income. Unemployment is measured by the number of people without jobs but seeking work divided by the total labor force.
Macroeconomics Basic Elements Of Supply & Demand Chap3Ashar Azam
1) Firms produce goods and services and households consume them in a circular flow of economic activity. Goods and services are exchanged in output markets while inputs like labor, capital and land are exchanged in input markets.
2) The quantity demanded by households depends on price, income, wealth, tastes and expectations. The quantity supplied by firms depends on price and costs of inputs.
3) Market equilibrium is reached where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. Changes in demand or supply can shift this equilibrium point to a new price and quantity.
Role Of The Govt. Macro Economics Chap02Ashar Azam
Markets exist because no individual or firm produces all goods and services needed to satisfy wants and needs. A market is an arrangement that allows buyers and sellers to exchange goods and services. Governments play an important economic role in mixed market economies by promoting macroeconomic stability, addressing issues of equity and fairness, and fostering conditions for economic growth while balancing other policy objectives like environmental protection.
This document provides an introduction to macroeconomics. It discusses how macroeconomics examines the overall economy rather than individual units. The development of macroeconomics was spurred by the failure of classical models to explain high unemployment during the Great Depression. John Maynard Keynes then published his work emphasizing the role of government in stimulating aggregate demand. Major macroeconomic concerns include inflation, output growth, and unemployment.

It describes the five competitive forces as the intensity of rivalry among existing competitors, the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of buyers, and the threat of substitute products.
