Unit 4: The economic organization of society. Third Year of Secondary School. This unit was created in the School Year 2019-2020. It was designed in Valencia, for the IES Juan de Garay's students. Teacher: Pau Tobar.
The document discusses economic concepts including the definition of an economy, GDP, economic sectors, agents, and systems. It defines economy as all activities related to production, distribution, trading and consumption of goods and services. It describes how GDP is calculated and used to measure the total value of goods/services produced by a country. The three economic sectors - primary, secondary, and tertiary - are defined along with different types of economic agents and their roles. Various economic systems such as capitalism, socialism, and mixed economies are also outlined.
The document discusses economic activity and the economic sectors. It begins by asking the reader to identify pictures as belonging to the primary, secondary, or tertiary sector. It then defines economic activity as things humans do to satisfy their needs. The three economic sectors - primary, secondary, and tertiary - are defined based on the type of activities involved in obtaining or processing raw materials and resources. Later sections discuss economic concepts like companies, consumers, markets, and indicators. Activities are included to analyze maps and data related to the economic sectors and indicators.

This document provides an overview of macroeconomics concepts including:
- Macroeconomics studies the whole economy rather than individual consumers or businesses.
- The three major economic goals for all countries are to promote economic growth, limit unemployment, and keep prices stable by limiting inflation.
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the primary measure of economic growth. Real GDP, which adjusts for inflation, is a better measure than nominal GDP.
- Unemployment rates are used to measure success in limiting unemployment, with full employment meaning only frictional and structural unemployment remain.
- Inflation is measured using indexes like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and GDP deflator,

HRM Topic Paper
MGMT 3043-01 Spring 2020
Human Resource Management
Each student will select and research a specific topic or issue related to Human Resource
Management. I am keeping this flexible so you can choose something that interests you. The
topic you choose might be a course topic you find particularly interesting or it might be related to
your career goals. If you are currently working full or part time, you might want to select an
issue relevant to your current workplace (please note – this should not be a personal issue you
are dealing with or have dealt with at work, but it can be an HR topic related to your work
experience).
Your overall goal is to develop a comprehensive report about your chosen topic or issue that
someone with little or no HRM knowledge can use to learn more about it.
Your report should include the following:
• An introduction with a brief description of your chosen topic or issue and why you chose
to research it.
• A detailed presentation and discussion that gives the reader a comprehensive
understanding of the topic or issue and presents recommendations or action steps based
on your research.
• A discussion of how the information in your report can be used to benefit others.
• Include specific examples from at least 2 existing companies to help the reader
understand what the topic or issue looks like in practice and how organizations manage or
deal with it.
You should identify at least 5 resources (not including the 2 examples from existing companies
mentioned above) to assist in your analysis and the development of your report. All 5 of the
resources used must be from outside sources (not including your textbook). Avoid using
Wikipedia, resources that offer simple definitions such as a dictionary, or personal interviews
and/or documents. Instead, focus on using quality resources such as professional publications or
journal articles. All resources used for the completion of this project should be cited
appropriately in the body of your paper and in the references section at the end of the paper. The
length of your report should be sufficient to fully cover the topic and meet the performance
standards (typically in the range of 5 to 7 pages). This report will be evaluated based on your
presentation of the topic, your application of appropriate HR concepts and theories to analyze the
topic, and your ability to effectively communicate the key aspects of your chosen issue and make
it understandable and engaging.
Your report should follow APA writing style including a cover page with your name and the
assignment name, 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, 1-inch margins on all sides,
page numbers, and a references page. Also, use section headings to enhance the organization
and readability of your paper.
Submit your document on the course Blackboard site using MS Word format (.doc or .docx).

The document provides information on economic activities and sectors. It discusses the components of economic activity including production, distribution, and consumption. The three main sectors of economic activity are primary (extraction of natural resources), secondary (transformation of resources), and tertiary (provision of services). Developed countries typically have a larger tertiary sector while developing countries rely more on primary and secondary. The document also examines economic agents including businesses, families, and the state/government and their roles and relationships. It outlines the key production factors needed for economic activity: natural resources, capital, technology, and labor.
This document contains questions, graphs, and information about unemployment rates and types of unemployment. It asks the reader to calculate unemployment rates based on labor force statistics and describes the main types of unemployment: frictional, seasonal, cyclical, and structural unemployment. It provides assignments for students to illustrate and describe different types of unemployment and calculate GDP components.
The Barometer of the Círculos, in this third edition, seeks to contribute to collectively solving the big problems that affect Spain. On this occasion, in addition to presenting the shared vision of the Círculo de Empresarios, the Círculo de Economía and the Círculo de Empresarios Vascos, it has enjoyed the participation –begun in 2015– of the Asociación Valenciana de Empresarios, the Club Financiero Vigo-Círculo de Empresarios de Galicia, and the Institución Futuro de Navarra.
The 2016 Barometer diagnoses the structural situation of the Spanish economy so as to identify the principal competitive strengths and weaknesses of our economic and business surroundings. If in 2015 the survey was more representative geographically and by sectors, this year’s Barometer sampling includes a significant number of small and medium-sized firms, precisely the kind of operations that must become larger and more numerous in Spain.
This analysis of the Spanish economy is complemented by a study of Spain’s position in in the principal international indicators of competitiveness, and for the first time in this edition we provide specific sectorial indicators. We also present the opinions of a broad range of businessmen and presidents of Spanish companies and multinational firms operating in Spain.
Based on the conclusions obtained in this Barometer, we present a body of recommendations about those economic and company areas in which action should be taken by both the Public Administrations and the companies themselves. To this end we present some of the best practices of other countries and of Spain in such areas as youth employment, dual vocational training, intraentrepreneurship, and commitment to growth.
The recommendations of the 2016 Barometer seek to consolidate the financial recovery and shore up growth, which will make it possible to resolve the serious problems that plague Spain. Among them: high levels of unemployment and debt, which affect the sustainability of the Welfare State.
Here at the Círculos, we believe it is necessary to promote a more dynamic and competitive Spain that will generate higher levels of wealth and wellbeing, guarantee equality of opportunities, and allow Spain and its companies to face the challenges of a global society.
As with previous editions, we hope that this 2016 Barometer will generate broad debate in society and help design a longed-for project that will usher in a new period of hope, progress and national structuring.

Slide 1 1mm - the basic economic problemmattbentley34
The basic economic problem is that human wants are unlimited while resources are scarce. This means that societies must make choices about how to allocate scarce resources between alternative uses to best satisfy people's needs and wants. The opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best alternative forgone, or what is given up by making that choice. Production possibility curves illustrate this problem by showing the tradeoffs involved - producing more of one good requires producing less of another since resources are limited.
This document provides an overview of an introductory economics textbook. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
The document introduces economics as the study of how individuals and societies make choices about scarce resources. It outlines the scope of microeconomics, which examines individual decision-making units, and macroeconomics, which examines aggregates on a national scale. It also summarizes several of the main concepts and theories covered in economics, such as opportunity cost, marginalism, models, and the positive and normative approaches to economic analysis.
This document provides an overview of introductory microeconomics. It discusses:
- The scope of economics, including microeconomics which examines individual decision-making units like households and firms, and macroeconomics which examines aggregates on a national scale.
- The diverse fields of economics like behavioral economics, comparative economic systems, econometrics, economic development and others.
- The method of economics, distinguishing positive economics which describes what exists without judgment, from normative economics which evaluates outcomes and may prescribe policy.

Slide 1 1mm - the basic economic problemmattbentley34

This means that societies must make choices about how to allocate scarce resources between alternative uses to best satisfy people's needs and wants. The opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best alternative forgone, or what is given up by making that choice. Production possibility curves illustrate this problem by showing the tradeoffs involved - producing more of one good requires producing less of another since resources are limited.
