Managers Making Choices at BMW: the Cases of BMW-Egypt and BMW-US LEARNING Objectives 2.1 Use a production possibilities frontier to analyze opportunity costs and trade-offs. 2.2 Understand comparative advantage and explain how it is the basis for trade. 2.3 Explain the basic idea of how a market system works. To compete in the automobile market, the managers of BMW must make many strategic decisions, such as whether to introduce a new car model. 2 © Pearson Education 2011

Trade-Offs: The Pattern of Charitable Giving in the Arab World Learning Objective 2.1 Making the Connection Trade-Offs: The Pattern of Charitable Giving in the Arab World Charitable giving is a fundamental feature of the Arab culture. But as the number of charitable agencies started to increase, they began to compete for people’s donations and thus, a trade-off exists. For example, the more the charitable giving is directed to Children’s Cancer Hospital in Egypt (57357), the less will be available to the National Cancer Institute. 8 © Pearson Education 2011

Comparative Advantage and Trade Learning Objective 2.2 Comparative Advantage and Trade Absolute Advantage versus Comparative Advantage Absolute advantage The ability of an individual, a firm, or a country to produce more of a good or service than competitors, using the same amount of resources. 15 © Pearson Education 2011

Comparative Advantage and Trade Learning Objective 2.2 Comparative Advantage and Trade Absolute Advantage versus Comparative Advantage Comparative advantage The ability of an individual, a firm, or a country to produce a good or service at a lower opportunity cost than competitors.

Comparative Advantage and Trade Learning Objective 2.2 Comparative Advantage and Trade Comparative Advantage and the Gains from Trade The basis for trade is comparative advantage, not absolute advantage. Individuals, firms, and countries are better off if they specialize in producing goods and services for which they have a comparative advantage and obtain the other goods and services they need by trading. 17 © Pearson Education 2011

Quiz 2

Learning Objective 2.3 The Market System Market A group of buyers and sellers of a good or service and the institution or arrangement by which they come together to trade. Product markets Markets for goods—such as computers—and services—such as medical treatment. Factor markets Markets for the factors of production, such as labor, capital, natural resources, and entrepreneurial ability. Factors of production The inputs used to make goods and services. 21 © Pearson Education 2011

Learning Objective 2.3 The Market System Factors of production are divided into four broad categories: Labor includes all types of work, from the part-time labor of teenagers working at McDonald’s to the work of top managers in large corporations. Capital refers to physical capital, such as computers and machine tools, that is used to produce other goods. Natural resources include land, water, oil, iron ore, and other raw materials (or “gifts of nature”) that are used in producing goods. An entrepreneur is someone who operates a business. Entrepreneurial ability is the ability to bring together the other factors of production to successfully produce and sell goods and services. 22 © Pearson Education 2011

The Market System The Circular Flow of Income Learning Objective 2.3 The Market System The Circular Flow of Income Two key groups participate in markets: A household consists of all the individuals in a home. Firms are suppliers of goods and services. Circular-flow diagram A model that illustrates how participants in markets are linked. 23 © Pearson Education 2011

The Market System The Gains from Free Markets Learning Objective 2.3 The Market System The Gains from Free Markets Free market A market with few government restrictions on how a good or service can be produced or sold or on how a factor of production can be employed. 25 © Pearson Education 2011

The Market System The Market Mechanism Learning Objective 2.3 The Market System The Market Mechanism Individuals usually act in a rational, self- interested way. Adam Smith understood that people’s motives can be complex. In a famous phrase, Smith said that firms would be led by the “invisible hand” of the market to provide consumers with what they wanted. 26 © Pearson Education 2011

A Story of the Market System in Action: How Do You Make an iPod? Learning Objective 2.3 Making the Connection A Story of the Market System in Action: How Do You Make an iPod? The market coordinates the activities of the many people spread around the world who contribute to the making of an iPod. 27 © Pearson Education 2011

The Market System The Role of the Entrepreneur Learning Objective 2.3 The Market System The Role of the Entrepreneur Entrepreneur Someone who operates a business, bringing together the factors of production—labor, capital, and natural resources—to produce goods and services. 28 © Pearson Education 2011

The Market System The Legal Basis of a Successful Market System Learning Objective 2.3 The Market System The Legal Basis of a Successful Market System Protection of Private Property Property rights The rights individuals or firms have to the exclusive use of their property, including the right to buy or sell it. Enforcement of Contracts and Property Rights If property rights are not well enforced, fewer goods and services will be produced. This reduces economic efficiency, leaving the economy inside its production possibilities frontier. 29 © Pearson Education 2011

Property Rights in Cyberspace: YouTube and MySpace Learning Objective 2.3 Making the Connection Property Rights in Cyberspace: YouTube and MySpace Controlling unauthorized copying is more difficult today than it was when “copying” meant making a physical copy of a book, CD, or DVD. The popularity of YouTube and MySpace highlights the problem of unauthorized copying of videos and music. In the Arab world, The United Arab Emirates has the lowest piracy rate (35 per cent) followed by Saudi Arabia (51%) and Qatar (54%), compared with an average 58 per cent for the Middle East and Africa. Recording artists like Nancy Ajram may worry that the copyrights for their songs are not being protected on the Internet. 30 © Pearson Education 2011
