Productivity

Productivity is a measure of the efficiency of production. Productivity is a

ratio of what is produced to what is required to produce it. Usually this ratio is in

the form of an average, expressing the total output divided by the total input.

Productivity is a measure of output from a production process, per unit of input.

At the national level, productivity growth raises living standards because

more real income improves people's ability to purchase goods and services, enjoy

leisure, improve housing and education and contribute to social and environmental

programs. Productivity growth is important to the firm because it means that the

firm can meet its obligations to customers, suppliers, workers, shareholders, and

governments (taxes and regulation), and still remain competitive or even improve

its competitiveness in the market place.

Productivity is measured as GDP per hour worked. Economic well-being is

created in a production process. Production means, in a broad sense, all economic

activities that aim directly or indirectly to satisfy human needs. The degree to

which the needs are satisfied is often accepted as a measure of economic wellbeing.

The satisfaction of needs originates from the use of the commodities which

are produced. The need satisfaction increases when the quality-price-ratio of the

commodities improves and more satisfaction is achieved at less cost.

The need satisfaction also increases due to the growth of incomes that are

gained from the more efficient production. The most important forms of

production are market production, public production and production in households.

Joint venture

A joint venture is a business agreement in which parties agree to develop,

for a finite time, a new entity and new assets by contributing equity. They exercise

control over the enterprise and consequently share revenues, expenses and assets.

There are other types of companies such as JV limited by guarantee, joint ventures

limited by guarantee with partners holding shares.

When two or more persons come together to form a temporary partnership

for the purpose of carrying out a particular project, such partnership can also be

called a joint venture where the parties are "co-venturers".

The venture can be for one specific project only - when the JV is referred to

more correctly as a consortium (as the building of the Channel Tunnel) - or a

continuing business relationship. The consortium JV (also known as a cooperative

agreement) is formed where one party seeks technological expertise or technical

service arrangements, franchise and brand use agreements, management contracts,

rental agreements, for ‘‘one-time’’ contracts. The JV is dissolved when that goal is

reached.

A joint venture takes place when two parties come together to take on one

project. In a joint venture, both parties are equally invested in the project in terms

of money, time, and effort to build on the original concept. While joint ventures are

generally small projects, major corporations also use this method in order to

diversify. A joint venture can ensure the success of smaller projects for those that are just starting in the business world or for established corporations. Since the cost

of starting new projects is generally high, a joint venture allows both parties to

share the burden of the project, as well as the resulting profits.

Price

Price is the quantity of payment or compensation given by one party to

another in return for goods or services.

In modern economies, prices are generally expressed in units of some form

of currency. (For commodities, they are expressed as currency per unit weight of

the commodity.) Although prices could be quoted as quantities of other goods or

services this sort of barter exchange is rarely seen. Prices are sometimes quoted in

terms of vouchers such as trading stamps and air miles. In some circumstances,

cigarettes have been used as currency, for example in prisons, in times of

hyperinflation, and in some places during World War 2. In the black economy,

barter is also relatively common.

In many financial transactions, it is customary to quote prices in other ways.

The most obvious example is in pricing a loan, when the cost will be expressed as

the percentage rate of interest. The total amount of interest payable depends upon

the loan amount and the period of the loan. Other examples can be found in pricing financial derivatives and other financial assets. For instance the price of inflationlinked

government securities in several countries is quoted as the actual price

divided by a factor representing inflation since the security was issued.

Price sometimes refers to the quantity of payment requested by a seller of

goods or services, rather than the eventual payment amount. This requested amount

is often called the asking price or selling price, while the actual payment may be

called the transaction price or traded price. Likewise, the bid price or buying price

is the quantity of payment offered by a buyer of goods or services, although this

meaning is more common in asset or financial markets than in consumer markets.

Economists sometimes define price more generally as the ratio of the

quantities of goods that are exchanged for each other.
