A new range of PowerPoint resources aimed at assisting teachers with the delivery of the Cambridge International A-level Business specification. These slides are designed to support the delivery of 6.1.2 Economic Influences. This substantial presentation commences with an examination of why and how governments might intervene in the market to help business and encourage enterprise before also considering how governments can also constrain business activity. It then proceeds to examine how governments deal with market failure before analysing the main macroeconomic objectives of low inflation, low unemployment and economic growth and how these objectives can influence business activity. It then concludes with an assessment of government policies to meet the macroeconomic objectives, namely the use of fiscal policy, monetary policy, exchange rates and supply-side policies, and a look at how these can affect business decisions. The slides contain the Quick Fire Five questions and also a practice extended answer question (both with suggested solutions).
