1.1 Man science process • Observation - Identification of a problem that exists in the system or organization.
• Definition of the Problem - problem must be clearly and consistently defined showing its boundaries and interaction with the objectives of the organization.
• Model Construction - Development of the functional mathematical relationships that describe the decision variables, objective function and constraints of the problem.
• Model Solution - Models solved using management science techniques.
• Model Implementation - Actual use of the model or its solution.
1.2 Factors of production
Natural resources i.e. crude oil
Capital i.e. investors
Labour i.e. technical and academic
Entrepeneurship i.e. takes capital and link labour and natural resouces combined with risk to provide goods and services.
Knowledge i.e. to determine wants and needs quickly and to respond to them with products and services.
1.3 3 Most NB Economic systems

Built on principles of private ownership
Is based on the right to make a profit, right to compete and the right to own property.
System is market driven and the solutions to a country's economic problems are left to the market forces to solve.

Based on the ideas of Karl Marx nd Friedrich Engels.
All assets belong to the people
