Efficiency is a vital part of management, It refers to the relationship between inputs and outputs. If you can get more output from the given input, you have increased efficiency. Similarly, if you can get the same output from less input, you also have increased efficiency.

Approximately 83 percent of the world’s population in the year 2020 will live in relatively poor and less-developed countries. Developed and industrialized nations , consequently, will experience increasing pressure to divide the limited resource pie more equitably. Because of their common focus on resources, economics and management are closely related. Economics is the study of how limited resources are distributed among alternative uses. In productive organizations, managers are the trustees of limited resources , and it is their job to see that the basic factors of production – land, labor, and capital – are used efficiently as well as effectively.

It is clear to all of us that the planet is not expanding. There is only so much space on Earth, not to mention only so many resources – food, water, and energy – that can support a human population.

Comparing Economic Systems There are three different economic systems Traditional, Market and Command.
