ASSIGNMENT ANSWERS
1. Business policy and goals: Business policies are an important tool to ensure that the
business operates at maximum efficiency. Written in these policies is the blueprint for the
whole organization's expected behaviour, role, and reporting. Properly defined and explained
business policies can result in smoother operations, because everyone understands their
own responsibilities and how to deal with the many problems and issues that occur in a
workday. Poorly defined business policy, on the other hand, can result in confusion and
productivity losses.
3. Decision making: Decision making makes a huge impact on an organization. It can either
propel it forward and into success. Or it can destroy the company's value. The worst thing
that a leader can do is to not make a decision.
5. Resources: Raw material extraction and processing always impact on the environment,
resulting as they do in soil degradation, water shortages, biodiversity loss, damage to
ecosystem functions and global warming exacerbation. Natural resources, both renewable
and non-renewable, and ecosystem services are a part of the real wealth of nations. They
are the natural capital out of which other forms of capital are made. They contribute towards
fiscal revenue, income, and poverty reduction.
7. Power relations and politics: Organizations provide a power base for individuals. From a
purely economic standpoint, organizations exist to create a surplus of income over costs by
meeting needs in the marketplace. But organizations also are political structures which
provide opportunities for people to develop careers and therefore provide platforms for the
expression of individual interests and motives.
8. Risk perception: Risk perception is an essential factor affecting how individuals evaluate
risk, make decisions and behave.
