Economics Mind Map Term 2
Four Factors Of Production
Capital
Labor
Land
Enterprise
Water, minerals, precious metals, flora, oil, natural gas, and other raw materials are among the renewable and non-renewable natural resources. Because these resources are in short supply, a site that is rich in them is seen to be the best for production.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the widely recognised idea for responsible corporate action. CSR refers to a company's moral and ethical responsibilities to its employees, the environment, rivals, the economy, and a variety of other aspects of life that its business impacts
Physical labourers and the workforce putting in mental efforts as key resources in facilitating the creation of products and services are both included in labour. The amount of labour necessary to improve outputs is determined by the size and quality of these resources
Despite the fact that capital relates to money, money cannot be used as an input in the manufacturing process. As a result, it is not a factor but rather a component of capital, which entrepreneurs utilise to purchase capital goods in order to manufacture commodities and services. Interest is a term used to describe the money created by this element.
Land, capital, and labour are all important, but they all require someone or something to manage and supervise the manufacturing process. It is at this point that the fourth variable, entrepreneurship/enterprise, enters the picture. This component brings together the other three inputs and activates the most efficient production system to produce the greatest results.
Economic System
Traditional Economy
Mixed Economy
Command Economy
Market Economy
A mixed economy is a system that blends market, command, and traditional economic elements. It enjoys the benefits of all three while also having to deal with some of the drawbacks.
A traditional economy, is one in which the area's customs, traditions, and beliefs play a big role in the development of goods and services. A traditional economy is one that is based on how people live.
A command economy is one in which the government has complete authority including commands, regulations, and national goals.
Consumers and Producers
Producers are individuals who create or provide a specific good (product) or service. Individuals or businesses can be producers. An industry is a collection of businesses that make a specific type of product or provide a specific service.
People who buy goods and services are known as consumers. The majority of customers earn money by working for businesses. People can find work as a result of this economic cycle. Workers, or those who have jobs, have money to spend on goods and services.
Goods and Services
A good is a tangible item that is sold or transferred from one seller to another. It cannot, however, be a simple stone or a branch of a tree; it must be a valuable object that requires to be purchased or effort to obtain.
A service, unlike a good, is not tangible. It exists simply to serve a specific purpose, and once that function is completed, it's gone. A service is a skill that someone has and sells to someone else.

Australia's Economy
Australia's economy is built on services, manufacturing, mining, and agriculture, and it is a free market economy. It is often regarded as one of the most developed countries on the planet. Its gross domestic product (GDP) is comparable to Western European and North American countries, especially when income per person is considered. Agriculture, mining, and manufacturing have long been the bases of Australia's economy.
A market economy is an economic system in which the production of goods and services is directed by two forces known as supply and demand. Market economies are built on voluntary transaction and are not regulated by a government.
Types of Market Economies
Free Market Economy
Socialism Market
Capitalism
This is a market economy in which enterprises are entirely or largely owned by private individuals. People who own businesses are motivated by self-interest, and their primary goal is to maximise profit at the lowest possible cost.
The pricing of products and services in a free-market economy are determined by supply and demand. As a result, when there is a high demand for things, prices rise, and when there is a low demand for goods, prices fall.
The socialist market economy is a sort of market economy in which an individual citizen does not fully own the producing enterprise. Businesses in a socialist market are either owned by the government or by the workers who work for it.
Examples of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Coca-Cola is a company that understands the consequences of its product, especially when it comes to logistics and the usage of plastics.

These new bottles are made up of up to 50% renewable plant-based components, a highly recyclable plastic resin and a type of polyester.
