Organizations structure themselves and operate in ways that allow their objectives to be met. Every organization has a range of stakeholders whose interests need to be satisfied, but stakeholders have competing interests that may be hard to reconcile. Businesses operate in an environment shaped by the government, competitors, nonusers, suppliers, and international factors. Learners will understand that some influences on the business environment are direct and clear, for example taxation policies on corporate activities.
Other influences are less clear, perhaps coming from the international arena and sometimes with only an oblique impact on the national business environment. It is within this business environment that organizations function and have to determine strategies and a modus operandi that allow them to meet their organizational purposes in ways that comply with the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks. In addition, business markets take various forms and the structure of a market enables an understanding of how organizations behave.
In this unit learners will consider how different market structures shape the pricing and output decisions of businesses, as well as other aspects of their behavior. Instructions 1 .
