Good luck! ( Case study: Wellsidia was admitted to the United Nations on 2 March 2016, and is now considering applying for membership in the World Trade Organisation (WTO). It has established diplomatic relations, inter alia, with the Republic of Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, Zedia is unhappy about seemingly progressive developments in Wellsidia, and wishes to place Wellsidia under its control. In particular, Zedia repeatedly alleges in various international fora that Wellsidia is oppressing ethnic Zedians, inter alia, as far as their freedom of conscience, housing and labour rights are concerned. Several cases of Zedians having been fired from work and expelled from their houses have been reported, and a Zedian temple was attacked by unknown people in late February 2016. Wellsidia consistently responds that ethnic Zedians resident in its territory are now nationals of Wellsidia, and the State is at liberty to treat them in accordance with its national legislation, given that...

...accordingly. This is called 'staffing' function of management. Human resource management is also described as personnel management or manpower management. According to Edwin Flippo, "Personnel Management is the planning, organising, directing and controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, integration and maintenance of people for the purpose of contributing to organizational, individual and social goals".

Meaning of Human Resource ↓ In an industrial unit, large number of persons are employed in order to conduct various operations and activities. This is treated as human resource or manpower employed. A business unit needs material resources as well as human resource for the conduct of various activities. Of all the "M"s in management (such as Materials, Machines, Methods and Money) the most important "M" stands for Men i.e., manpower working in the organisation. It is through manpower/employees that all other ingredients of an enterprise-money, machines, materials, marketing, etc., are managed. In brief, Human Resource (HR) constitutes the most important and the most productive resource of an industrial / business unit.

How has this data informed the development of theories of the non-profit sector?” Introduction The non-profit sector is essentially that part of social activity undertaken by non-governmental and non-profit organisations. Also known as the civil sector, public sector, voluntary sector or the third sector, this part of the economy is gone largely unnoticed but since the 1970s has become under investigation from scholars and economists alike who realised the sector’s large economic contributions. The industry subsequently began to expand; “Prompted by dissatisfaction with the cost and effectiveness of exclusive reliance on government to address the social welfare and developmental challenges of our time, efforts have been launched to find alternative ways to respond”. (Anheier and Salamon, 1992) Seemingly, citizens felt they could no longer rely on the government to neither solve their problems nor provide essentials. Accordingly this shifted the focus of attention to the emerging voluntary sector, which had long contributed to the alleviation of social problems on a global scale, but had long been overlooked in scholarly and economic analyses. Thus the third sector began to grow and became institutionalized in university based...

...ECONOMIC SYSTEMS Assignment by: Fatima Amjad 0050 Elaf Anwar 0078 Sania Raza 0086 Introduction: Economic systems are the means by which countries and governments distribute resources and trade goods and services. An economic system must define what to produce, how to produce it and for whom to produced it. They are used to control the five factors of production, including labor, capital, entrepreneurs, physical resources and information resources. Different economic systems view the use of these factors in different ways. The world's economic systems fall into one of three main categories: market economy, command economy and mixed economy; however, there are unlimited variations of each type. MARKET ECONOMY: Market economy is also known as capitalism or the private enterprise system. The central thought of this system is that it should be the producers and consumers who decide how to utilise the resources. It is a system of society wide coordination of human activities, without central command. Thus, the market forces decide what to produce, how much to produce and for whom to produce. The efficient working of a free market economy requires that the producer firms must have incentives to work hard and produce goods and services at the lowest possible cost per unit of output. Market economies provide incentives to the firms and individuals by recognising and enforcing the property rights...

...Thomas Roe, an English courtier, and François Bernier, a French physician offer contrasting accounts of their experiences in the Mughal court of 17th Century India stemming from their differing reasons for traveling to the Subcontinent. A merchant by trade, Sir Thomas Roe is dispatched to India by King James and the East India Company with the express intent of forging an amicable relationship between Britain and India in order to facilitate British trade within India. François Bernier, on the other hand, decides to take up residence in India for a given period of time. Each reflects upon certain practices of the Mughal Empire impacting the economy, but while Roe played the role of an active participant used his travelogue and correspondences to further England’s mission Bernier sought to relieve his aggravation at the structure of the Indian economy through his writing. Sir Thomas Roe keenly describes the awesome the abundance of wealth he encounters during his time as the English ambassador to the Mughal durbar. He is struck by the grandeur and opulence with the palace walls, keenly enumerating the marvelous commodities in possession of the king; finely woven Persian carpets, splendid European paintings, canopies of silk and velvet, a spectacular throne encrusted with gems and various trinkets of gold and silver. Roe mentions that the various treasures amassed by the Mughal empire from all over the world are so innumerable that they constitute an incongruous amalgam...
