 The factors of Production

The factors of production are an important economic concept

outlining the elements needed to produce a good or service for
sale. They are commonly broken down into four elements :
Land refers to physical land, such as the acres used for a farm
or the city block on which a building is constructed. Labor refers
to all wage-earning activities, such as the work of professionals,
retail workers, and so on. Entrepreneurship refers to the
initiatives taken by entrepreneurs, who typically begin as the
first workers in their firms and then gradually employ other
factors of production to grow their businesses. Finally, capital
refers to the cash, equipment, and other assets needed to start
or grow a business.

In the organizational field, we call this technical support: we
can ask for help from world organizations (UNICEF, ADB,

give us certain experts who will train us in specific areas.
This means that an organization can train an individual or a
group of individual free of charge in a particular field. we can
also receive donations such as computers, office furniture,
equipment, etc. free of charge from individuals or companies.
this part deals with all the help we can receive but which is not
money.
