Primary and Secondary Needs
- Primary needs are essential for survival and well-being.
- Examples for individuals include food, water, shelter, clothing, and healthcare.

Economy and Goods
- Consumer goods directly satisfy individual needs (e.g., groceries, electronics) and may be durable or non-durable.

- Supply chain manages goods from raw materials to consumers.
- Market segmentation identifies primary and secondary needs within customer groups.
The Economic Cycle
- The economic cycle has four phases: expansion (growth), peak, contraction (recession), and trough.
- Expansion sees increased demand for goods and services, rising employment, income, and production; Companies invest in both primary and secondary needs.
- Peak is the highest point of economic activity, with high demand for luxury and secondary goods.
- Contraction (recession) involves a decrease in economic activity, with individuals focused on primary needs; companies cut costs, prioritizing survival.
- Trough is the lowest point of the cycle, offering opportunities for rebuilding and innovation.
- Primary goods have consistent demand throughout the cycle.
- Secondary goods experience higher demand during growth and peak phases, but demand drops during recessions.
