The role of the private sector
THE ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR The second major gap in the current debate over globalization is that neither the protesters nor the parties to the global institutions are paying any attention to the positive, problem-solving role corporations can play. The protesters believe that the corporate sector is the problem, not the solution, and must be regulated by government into behavior that does not destroy the environment. This prejudice is a hallmark of the efforts to counter the negative effects of globalization. It also limits the possibility of dialogue, and leads many businesspeople to suppose that the environment is a fringe activity of enthusiasts who want to regulate their activities and drive up their costs. This erroneous view is reinforced by a certain type of economic theorist (or environmental activist) who thinks that environmental protection must be costly and painful, on the theory that if it were easy it would already have been done by now. If, however, it is true that adherence to the principles of Natural Capitalism will be the basis of profitability in the coming decades, then it is in businesses' own interest not to deplete their natural or human capital. Global corporate power has some serious downsides, no doubt, but the best leaders of the transformative corporate sector are inviting debate over what their role should be and how to make their companies

Regulation. The supermarket sector is regulated by a great many factions and organizations all of which have different interests and agendas.
Definition Regulation is spoken of as if an identifiable and discrete mode of governmental activity. Selznick's notion of regulation as sustained and focussed control exercised by a public agency over activities that are valued by a community, has been referred to as expressing a central meaning. It is perhaps useful to think of the word regulation being used in the following different senses > As a specific set of command > As a deliberate state influence > As all forms of social control or influence. (Baldwin, R, Understanding Regulation) Introduction Due to its size, necessity and great public interest, the supermarket sector is regulated by a large variety of factions and organizations. The supermarket sector is primarily part of the food retail industry though it includes other areas of retail such as fashion and electronics. The U.K government, the E.U and U.N have several interests in this sector such as political, environmental social and economical factors. There are various factions who influence regulation of the sector including The Consumer Association, The National Farmers Union, British Retail Consortium and The Advertising Standards Association. The need for regulation Regulation is commonly used to correct market failure. Market failure is defined as when the uncontrolled market place will for some reason fail to produce behaviour or results in
Rupert Murdoch Vs BBC: Is the battle between private sector and public Sector media a threat to UK democracy?
Essay Title: Rupert Murdoch Vs BBC: Is the battle between private sector and public Sector media a threat to UK democracy? Rupert Murdoch Vs BBC: Is the battle between private sector and public Sector media a threat to UK democracy? Prime Ministers, Politicians and the Government are all faced today by a concentration of media owners. With fewer businesses now controlling the mass media the diversity of debate is narrowed with an increased control over the politics being written. The affects of a shrinking media ownership have given way to a possible new Marxist or critical theory. Rupert Murdoch is one of the most famous capitalists in the media industry. He owns Sky News and controls the Sun and the Times newspapers. In the UK alone, Rupert Murdoch owns almost 35% of distributed newspapers. He has impacted the media industry in a tremendous way and his corporation has gone from being a successful business to a thriving enterprise by entering the prominent media stations and countries. However he makes no attempts to cover up his own agenda. He openly makes statements such as, "For better or for worse, our company ...is a reflection of my thinking, my character, my values."1 His views are consistent with those cited in Noam Chomsky's pamphlet 'Media control: the spectacular achievements of propaganda.'2 He states that we exist in a spectator democracy, which is regulated

Sector privado: Es el sector de la economía de un país integrado por las empresas privadas, las familias y las instituciones sin fines de lucro, en las cuales encontramos las empresas como Supermaxi y entidades privadas como la cruz roja.

Quantitative Methods Management Report SURREY & HAMPSHIRE RESTAURANT SECTOR
MANAGEMENT REPORT SURREY & HAMPSHIRE RESTAURANT SECTOR MANAGEMENT REPORT SURREY & HAMPSHIRE RESTRAUNT SECTOR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report analyses the survey conducted by the Kingston University Small Business Development Unit. The survey was carried out in Surrey and Hampshire, and looked at restaurants in the area. The report states that large sized restaurants dominated the restaurant sector in the area of Surrey and Hampshire. The majority of these can be classified as being in the fast food sector, thus, they are company-owned franchises. This therefore indicates new small business should launch a fast food restaurant as this type of restaurant would be the most profitable market. As the summary measures have shown the business outlook of restaurants within the Surrey and Hampshire areas is bordering unfavourable and this is a damaging environment for new business and therefore they should be wary. However even though the outlook is bleak there is a potential to earn an average gross sales of £100,000 to £140,000. The company-owned restaurants also dominate the sector in Surrey and Hampshire, hence it may be a difficult market for small businesses to break into as company owned restaurants or franchises such as Mc Donald's are very well established with strong brand names and consequently have brand loyalty; this form of business also has large amounts of
