business: its an organized effort of individuals to produce and sell goods &services for profit.
...................
so organised effort must be there.
type A: produce product and then sell . make profit out of it.
type B: provide service , get profit.......service industry.
...................
service & goods MUST SATISFY customers.so needs and wants of customer r key determinant.so understand this .....who r ur potential customer and what may be needs.
.....................

1. land
2.labour
3. capital
4. info
5. enterpreneur : risk taker who start business, for a dream of profit.its his vision and practical application and ability to mould as per demand of position

Big picture comes from macro economics.business is applied economics......so understand scarcity and oppurtunity cost.
skilled labour ,capital normally scarce.
OPPURTUNITY COST : is next
best alternative use of resources. say i am studying mba full time at 30 yr with 4lac /annum ......so tuition fee 2lac + 6lac , oppurtunity cost as 1.5 yr study time 1.5x4lac=6lac to be considered for cost of education.
..............in business decision making tree , oppurtunity cost is very vital

however due to free enterprise others r like to join.
growth of trade is policy a company. so any country's policy, present political boss , govt regulation .......+global concept is guideline
