- Competition affects marketing decisions by:
- Encouraging businesses to differentiate their products and services
- Influencing pricing strategies
- Increasing the need for effective advertising and promotion
- Fostering innovation and improvement in products and services
Profit in Private Enterprise
- Profit is the revenue earned by a business above and beyond its expenses, representing the reward for entrepreneurship and risk-taking.
- Factors affecting a business' profit include:
- Economic factors: supply and demand, market trends, and government policies
- Human factors: labor costs, skills, and productivity

- Land: natural resources, such as water, air, and minerals
- Labor: human effort and skills
- Capital: man-made goods, such as buildings, machines, and equipment
- Entrepreneurship: the ability to organize and manage resources to produce goods and services
Principles of Supply and Demand
- The law of supply states that as the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied also increases, ceteris paribus.
- The law of demand states that as the price of a product decreases, the quantity demanded also increases, ceteris paribus.
- The equilibrium price and quantity occur when the supply and demand curves intersect.

- Socialism: a system in which the means of production are owned or controlled by the state, and the allocation of resources is determined by the government.
- Communism: a system in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the community as a whole, and the allocation of resources is determined by a central authority.
