Protecting the environment is considered nowadays as a key issue affecting everyone. Business organizations are pressurized to ensure that the environment suffers minimum damage due to their processes, products and services. Business organizations use recyclable materials, monitor pollution levels, and take various other measures to protect the environment and to comply with increasing customer demand for green products. The work of the business manager is changing so as to encompass environmental issues. Businesses report information about their actions with regard to maintaining the environment in their annual financial report. This includes energy usage, level of toxic waste, noise, policies regarding environmental care etc. Although the annual report is traditionally a report of financial information about the organization, the users of it represent a wide audience. Therefore, businesses consider the annual report as a public relations document. As a result, businesses tend to report information regarding their products, policies etc. and now that has been extended to report information about their actions on preserving the environment.

When a market is not competitive, there is a need for regulators. Their role is to balance the interests of various stakeholders. Business organizations can use a monopoly position to create extremely high added value for the benefit of their shareholders, employees etc. Customers need to be protected by limiting these monopoly powers. At the same time, it is necessary for the businesses to price their products at a sufficient margin. Regulatory bodies are established in countries according to the policy of the government with different types of authorities. Regulatory rules are designed to meet government objectives. Those rules should be understood by the regulator and the regulated industry. Objectives of regulatory authorities can be classified under the following: * To protect customers from monopoly power * To promote social and macroeconomic objectives * To promote competition When the players in regulated market have significant market power, the regulator has to focus on price or tariff controls or control on quality of service. Certain social objectives such as availability and affordability of services to particular groups like disabled or people in rural areas, cannot be achieved from macroeconomic objectives of the government. Therefore regulatory bodies are established to control and monitor these areas. Actions can be taken by regulatory authorities to assist the development of market segments where there is scope for competition.

shared by Laswi Wijes on 27 Jun 10 - Cached

In simple language, inflation means rising prices and it shows the increase in cost of living. In economics, inflation is explained as rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. With the rise in price levels a unit of currency will buy fewer goods and services. As a result, the purchasing power of money will be reduced with inflation. In other words the real value of money will be lost day by day along with inflation. Inflation is measured by the Rate of Inflation or Inflation Rate which is the percentage change in a general price index calculated as an annualized figure. A low inflation rate is beneficial to a country and zero or negative inflation is considered as bad. Also, a high inflation is harmful to an economy and it affects an economy in many ways. * High inflation distorts consumer behavior. Because of the fear of price increases, people tend to purchase their requirements in advance as much as possible. This can destabilize markets creating unnecessary shortages. * High inflation redistributes the income of people. The fixed income earners and those lacking bargaining power will become relatively worse off as their purchasing power falls. * Trade unions may demand for higher wages at times of high inflation. If the claims are accepted by the employers, it may give rise to a wage-price spiral which may aggravate the inflation problem. * During a high inflation period, wide fluctuations in the inflation rate make it difficult for business organizations to predict the future and accurately calculate prices and returns from investments. Therefore, it can undermine business confidence. * When inflation in a country is more than that in a competitive country, the exports from former country will be less attractive compared to the other country. This means there will be less sales for that country's goods both at home and abroad and that will create a larger trade deficit. At the

Why should Working Capital be managed efficiently - 0 views

Working Capital means the capital available for running the day-to-day operations of an organization. It is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. In other words, working capital is the excess of permanent capital plus long term liabilities over the fixed assets of a company. The control of working capital can be divided into areas dealing with inventory, receivables, payables and cash. In order to continue trading, an organization should be in a position to meet its immediate obligations. Therefore, sufficient cash must be generated by the organization. Even the most profitable business can quickly go under if it does not have sufficient liquid resources. But an unprofitable company can survive for quite some time if it has sufficient liquid resources. This means, working capital is essential for the organization's long term success and development. The greater the extent to which current assets cover the current liabilities, the more solvent the organization.
