Classical economics focused on production while neoclassical economics focused on how individuals operate in an economy through the exchange of goods and services. Neoclassical thought shares assumptions with classical thought but emphasizes rational choice and determining just punishments based on scientific evidence rather than solely deterrent measures.

Classical economics focused on production while neoclassical economics focused on how individuals operate in an economy through the exchange of goods and services. Neoclassical thought shares assumptions with classical thought but emphasizes rational choice and determining just punishments based on scientific evidence rather than solely deterrent measures.
The classical school emphasizes production of goods and services
as the key focus of economic analysis. Neoclassical economics focuses on how individuals operate within an economy. As such, the neoclassical school emphasizes the exchange of goods and services as the key focus of economic analysis. While classical depicts deterrent measures as a way to prevent crimes, neoclassical studies the scientific evidence to determine a just punishment for crimes and Neoclassical thought share a number of assumptions about human behaviour. Neoclassical theories assume that people will make a rational choice to commit crime. If the crime is low-risk and high reward with little likelihood of severe punishment, then motivated offenders will choose to commit crime.
2. DISCUSS THE VARIOUS STEPS IN PLANNING?
A. Perception of Opportunities: Perception of
opportunities is not strictly a part of the planning process. But this awareness of opportunities in the external environment as well as within the organisation is the real starting point for planning Setting objectives depends on the awareness. Planning requires realistic diagnosis of the opportunity situation. b. Establishing Objectives: This is the second step in the planning process. The major organisational and unit objectives are set in this stage. This is to be done for the long term as well as for the short range. The objectives of lesser departments will be more accurate if subdivision managers understand the overall enterprise objectives and the derivative goals. Managers should also have the opportunity to contribute their ideal to setting their own goals and those of the organisation. c. Planning Premises: After determination of organisational objectives, the next step is establishing planning premises that is the conditions under which planning activities will be undertaken. Planning premises are planning assumptions the expected environmental and internal conditions. Thus planning premises are external and internal.. The plans are formulated in the light of both external and internal factors.The nature of planning premises differs at different levels of planning. At the top level, it is mostly externally focused. As one moves down the organisational hierarchy the composition of planning premises changes from external to internal. The major plans both old and new will materially affect the future against which the managers at lower units must plan. d. Identification of Alternatives: The fourth step in planning is to identify the alternatives. Various alternatives can be identified based on the organisational objectives and planning premises. The concept of various alternatives suggests that a particular objective can be achieved through various actions e. Evaluation of Alternatives: The various alternative course of action should be analysed in the light of premises and goals. There are various techniques available to evaluate alternatives. The evaluation is to be done in the light of various factors. f. Choice of Alternative Plans: This is the real point of decision making. An analysis and evaluation of alternative courses will disclose that two or more advisable and beneficial. The fit one is selected. g. Formulation of Supporting Plan: After formulating the basic plan, various plan are derived so as to support the main plan. In an organisation there can be various derivative plans like planning for buying equipment, buying raw materials, recruiting and training personal, developing new product etc. These derivative plans are formulated out of the basic or main plan and almost invariably required to support the basic plan. h. Establishing Sequence of Activities: After formulating basic and derivative plans, the sequence of activities is determined so those plans are put into action. After decisions are made and plans are set, budgets for various periods and divisions can be prepared to give plans more concrete meaning for implementation. Budgets become a means of adding together the various plans and also set important standards against which planning progress can be measured.
3. DEFINE ORGANIZING AND ITS RELEVANCE IN
ORGANIZATION?
Organizing is the process of defining and grouping activities, and
establishing authority relationships among them to attain organizational objectives
a. Efficiency: Since everybody in an organization is given a part of
the whole job and not the whole job itself, this leads to the distribution of the job on the basis of the individual’s field of expertise and knowledge. In the end, everybody is doing the job he/she is best at. This leads to overall efficiency in the workings of the organization which then leads to everybody achieving more from it. b. No Clashes: Since the whole job is divided and everybody now knows what exactly he has to do, he will give his best to the job as now, he and only he is accountable for that job. This will eventually lead team members contribute effectively and since clear roles are defined, this won’t even lead to clashes or disputes. Harmony will prevail in the work force and everybody tries his best to make his part of the job stand out and shine c. Better use of Resources: Since job roles are properly segmented and organized, duplication of work can be controlled and avoided all together. This will lead to the optimum utilization of the various resources and therefore save on costs and the company owned and public owned resources. d. Flexibility: Effective organizing in an organization leads to flexibility and easy adoption of any change in an organization. The flexibility helps in customization of the work with respect to individual and organizational goals. Proper organizing helps to change in relation to the ongoing trends and practices e. Growth and Expansion: A good and effective organizing structure in any organization will eventually help the organization achieve both short-term and long-term goals. It helps in making the business grow and expand organically as well as inorganically. f. Better coordination among teams: Organizing in an organization helps in defining the roles of every person and therefore defines the hierarchy in the organization in a better manner. Such systematic structures lead to better coordination among the teams and departments therefore helping in the overall development of organization and its goals.
4. DISCUSS THE PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC
MANAGEMENT IN BRIEF?
(1) Science, Not Rule of Thumb:
Under ‘Scientific Management’, each element (or component) of any job and the motions required to perform it, are scientifically analysed to determine the standard time and standard methods of doing it with maximum efficiency. (2) Harmony, Not Discord: ‘Scientific Management’ provides for adequate remuneration to workers to produce more, and also seeks to facilitate it. As a result, workers perform their jobs sincerely and enthusiastically. Since management will gain as a result of increased productivity, it will readily pay higher wages. (3) Co-Operation, Not Individualism: ‘Scientific Management’ promotes co-operation between workers and the management as also between the workers. Management can look forward to larger profits only if workers perform their jobs with maximum efficiency and economy, which is important determinant of better quality, lower costs, and larger sales. Workers on their part can expect to receive higher wages if the management (a) Adopts an enlightened attitude towards them, crucial to raising productivity levels, and (b) Provides them with standard materials, standard tools, standardized working conditions, and training in standard methods to enable increased productivity. If the management or the workers seek all the gains of increased productivity without sharing the same with each other, they will both be losers, because success of ‘Scientific Management’ depends on co-operation rather than individualism on the part of either. (4) Maximum Output, not Restricted Output: Under ‘Scientific Management’, the management and the workers are equally interested in attaining maximum output. For the management, maximum output will lead to increased profits and production costs. For the workers, it will mean an increased share in prosperity of the business by way of higher wages and bonus. Consequently, both seek to do their utmost to achieve maximum output. Management will do this by way of provision of standard materials, standard tools and standardized working conditions, and the workers by performing their jobs efficiently. (5) Development of each Man to his Greatest Efficiency and Prosperity: Under ‘Scientific Management’, workers are selected and trained in accordance with the requirements of jobs to be performed by them. With this end in view, physical, educational and psychological requirements of each job are clearly specified, and then the person who is most suitable for the job in question is selected. Workers are also systematically trained to enable them to become more proficient and up-to-date in all aspects of their work.
5. DISCUSS X AND Y THEORY?
Theory X and Theory Y are theories of human work motivation and
management. Theory X explains the importance of heightened supervision, external rewards, and penalties, while Theory Y highlights the motivating role of job satisfaction and encourages workers to approach tasks without direct supervision.
