Classify Business Enterprises Between Private Sector And Public Sector In A Mixed Economy
Overview
Walk down any high street and you will pass two very different kinds of organisation. A privately owned bakery sits next to a state-run hospital; a family clothes shop trades a few doors from the government post office. They all produce goods or services, yet they answer to different owners, chase different goals and follow different rules. Sorting businesses into the private sector and the public sector is the first skill an examiner expects you to show.
In this lesson you will learn exactly what a mixed economy is, what puts a business in the private sector or the public sector, and how to classify real examples with confidence. By the end you will be able to look at any enterprise and place it on the right side of the line, and explain why it belongs there.
