Service Sector and Economic, Growth

Definition of service sector

 The tertiary sector of the economy (also known as the service sector or the service industry) is
one of the three economic sectors, the others being the secondary sector approximately the
same as manufacturing) and the primary sector (agriculture, fishing, and extraction such as
mining

 The portion of the economy that produces intangible goods. According to the U.S. Census
Bureau, the service sector primarily consists of truck transportation, messenger services and
warehousing: Information sector services, securities, commodities and other financial
investment services; rental and leasing services; professional, scientific and technical services;
administrative and support services; waste management and remediation, health care and
social assistance; and arts, entertainment and recreation services.

 Individuals employed in this sector produce services rather than products.

Examples of service sector jobs include housekeeping, psychotherapy, tax preparation, guided
tours, nursing and teaching. By contrast, individuals employed in the industrial/manufacturing
sector might produce goods such as cars, clothing and toys,
Sample Proposal Format

1. Introductory Project Summary: Introduces the name, goal, objective, activities, participants and
timeline in a concise and compelling paragraph. Is often in the form of a request for funding naming
the funder and the amount requested.

2. Goals and objectives: Goals - Broad statement(s) of your intention and desired outcome.
Objectives - The specific aims or measurable results of your project.

3. Statement of Need: The statement of need presents information and facts to support the need

to the goals and objectives of your project. It defines your intended community/constituency who
will benefit from your project and justifies why it is important to address this need at this time.

4. Proposal Narrative: This is the core of the proposal - it reinforces the goals, objectives and the
desired outcomes of the project. It describes the activities of the project and who will participate in
and implement these activities. It includes a timeline and may reference the method of evaluation.

5. Outcome of Project: What will change as a result of realizing your objectives? Focus on the
benefit of your project for you intended audience or community.

Economic Geography

Assignment:

Writing an essay related to the determined topics which are determined by the lecturer and
confirmed by the student. The essay (in extent of maximum 4000 words) may deal with the analysis
of:

- Socio-economic effects of the climate change;

- Role of cities and congestions in the world economy;

- Role of either an economic branch or an economic actor in the world economy;

- Role of renewable energy in the prospective development;

- Exploitation of limited resources (with special regard to the water, oil, forests, etc.) and the effects
of shortages;

- New theories of Economic Geography.

Each student can acquire maximum 10 points (share of 10 %) according to her/his activity during the
lectures.

The student's performance is going to be evaluated on the basis of the quality of essay (share of 30
%), the activity and the exam (share of 60 %).

The students have the possibility to hold a short presentation during the lectures concerning the
topic of the day for extra 10 points.
Criticisms of Physiocracy

1. Their theory was drowned in normative statement.

This is quite true of natural order concept.

2. The physiocrats failed to consider the labouring Class as a productive class. Moreover their
contention that manufacturing class is sterile is also subject to severe criticism.

3. The physiocrats do not have a clear cut concept of value. They have confused value with utility.
They held the view that value depend on utility.

Objectives of 1991 Policy

 To unshackle the Indian Industrial Economy from the bureaucratic economy

 To introduce liberalization with a view to integrate the Indian economy with the world economy

 To remove the restrictions on FDI as also free the domestic entrepreneur from the restrictions
of MKTP.

 The policy aimed to shed the load of the public enterprises which have shown a very low rate of
return or incurring losses over the years

 Liberalizing the industry from the regulatory devices such as licenses and controls

 Enhancing support to the small scale sector

 Increasing competitiveness of industries for the benefit of the common man

 Ensuring running of public enterprises on business lines and thus cutting their losses

 Providing more Incentives for Industrialization of the backward areas

 Ensuring rapid industrial development in a competitive environment

The General Economic Environment

 There are numerous general economic concepts that must be taken into account in engineering
studies.
 In broad terms, economics deals with the interactions between people and wealth, and
engineering is concerned with the cost-effective use of scientific knowledge to benefit
humankind
 This section introduces some of these basic economic concepts and indicates how they may be
factors for consideration in engineering studies and managerial decisions.
SECONDARY SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY

 The secondary sector includes industries that produce a finished, usable product or are involved
in construction.

 This sector generally takes the output of the primary sector and manufactures finished goods or
where they are suitable for use by other businesses, for export, or sale to domestic consumers.
This sector is often divided into light industry and heavy industry.

 Many of these industries consume large quantities of energy and require factories and
machinery to convert the raw materials into goods and products.

 They also produce waste materials and waste heat that may cause environmental problems or
cause pollution. The secondary sector supports both the primary and tertiary sector.
Disadvantages of Centrally Planned Economies

1. Bureaucratic costs of central planning of resources-petty officialdom can lead to wasteful

inefficiencies and higher

2. Problem in fixing the prices of goods and services – central planner are unlikely to be as the
market in determining suitable price

3. Relative absence of incentives for both workers and businesses can damage productivity and lead
to large levels of over-employment

4. Low productivity and weak incentives leads to rising losses for many state-owned businesses. The
incentive to innovate is also limited.

5. Changing consumer needs and wants are not expressed as preferences in markets - the state is
slow to react to these

6. The state suffers from information failures and there is a much higher risk of corruption which
ultimately damages welfare

7. State run economic is at higher risk of mal-investment driven by political motivations

What Determines A Country's Level Of Economic Development?

 Nobel-prize winner Amartya Sen argues economic development should be seen as a process of
expanding the real freedoms that people experience

 The removal of major impediments to freedom like poverty, tyranny, and neglect
of public facilities

 The presence of basic health care and basic education

 Amartya Sen also claims that economic progress requires the democratization of political
communities to give citizens a voice
What Are The Implications Of Political Economy Differences For Managers?

Countries with democratic regimes, market based economic policies, and strong property rights
protections are more likely to have higher sustained rates of economic growth

 These markets are more attractive to international businesses

 The benefits, costs, and risks of doing business in a country are a function of the country's
political, economic, and legal systems
Principles and Policies of Physiocracy

1. Agriculture is the only productive occupation.

2. Industry and trade are sterile occupations.

3. Agriculture alone produces net product.

4. There is a natural order which makes life happy and meaningful.

5. There is harmony among all classes of people.

6. The individual should get maximum liberty.

7. State action should be limited to the minimum.

8. Trade is a necessary evil, and there should be free trade.

9. Value depends on utility. Wealth has value. Value and price are the same things

10. The wage level is at the subsistence level.

Dangers from Primary Product Export Dependency

Conflict-risk of political conflict and corruption and rising inequality

Volatility-vulnerability to changes in world prices which causes high levels of macro volatility-i.e.
Trade imbalances, GDP growth

Sustainability-danger of over-rapid extraction of finite resources

Currency appreciation - makes exports of a developing country's manufactured products more

expensive in overseas markets

Higher inflation - which hurts the real incomes of poorer groups who do not directly benefit from
resource exploration and production

Weak linkages - Resource extraction tends to be capital-intensive in nature and often does not
create a significant rise in new jobs

Theoretical and Conceptual Framework

CONTINUED

Concept

▸ after formulating the theoretical framework, the researcher has to develop the conceptual
framework of the study.

▸ A concept is an image or symbolic representation of an abstract idea. Chinn and Kramer (1999)
define a concept as a "complex mental formulation of experience".

▸ while the theoretical framework is the theory on which the study is based, the conceptual
framework is the operationalization of the theory. A conceptual framework is the researcher's own
position on the problem and gives direction to the study.

▸ it may be an adaptation of a model used in a previous study, with modifications to suit the inquiry.

▸ Aside from showing the direction of the study, through the conceptual framework, the researcher
can be able to show the relationships of the different constructs that he wants to investigate.
