Demand
Demand refers to the total or a given quantity of a commodity that ispurchased by a consumer in the market at a particular price at a particular
time. Demand is created by consumers and is dependent on the utility of a
product or service. A consumer wants to buy more at a lower prices and
wants to save his money income.
Types of Demand
Price Demand
Income Demand
Cross Demand

Individual Demand
The individual demand is the demand of one individual or firm. It represents the
quantity of a good that a single consumer would buy at a specific price point at aspecific point in time. While the term is somewhat vague, individual demand can be
represented by the point of view of one person, a single family, or a single
household.
Market Demand
Market demand provides the total quantity demanded by all consumers. In other
words, it represents the aggregate of all individual demands. There are two basic
types of market demand: primary and selective. Primary demand is the total demand
for all of the brands that represent a given product or service, such as all phones or
all high-end watches. Selective demand is the demand for one particular brand of
product or service, such as the iPhone or a Michele watch.

ECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY
In a continuous review system, ordering too often (in quantities too small)
increases the annual cost of placing orders. Ordering too infrequently (in quantities
too large) increases the annual cost of holding inventory. The economic order
quantity (EOQ) is the quantity that minimizes the sum of these two costs. It is
based on the following assumptions:
The demand for the item is constant and known with certainty.
There are no upper or lower limits on the order quantity (lot size).
Stock outs are not permitted.
There are no quantity discounts.
Lead time and supply are known with certainty; lead time is constant.
Order quantities for individual items are made independently.

Degree of price elasticity of Demand
Perfectly Elastic Demand
Small changes in price leads to an infinite change in demand.
Perfectly Inelastic Demand
Whatever may be the change in price quantity demanded will remain perfectly constant.
Relative Elastic Demand
A slightly change in price leads to more than proportionate change in demand.
Relatively Inelastic Demand
A large change in price leads to less than proportionate change in demand.
Unitary Elastic Demand
A proportionate change in price will lead to equal proportionate change in demand.

Hypothesis
Hypothesis is a tentative proposition formulated for empirical testing. It is
a provisional formulation; a tentative solution of the problem posed by the
researcher. A hypothesis is something more than a wild guess but less than
a well-established theory. In science, a hypothesis needs to go through a
lot of testing before it gets labeled a theory. In the non-scientific world,
the word is used a lot more loosely. A detective might have a hypothesis
about a crime, and a mother might have a hypothesis about who spilled
juice on the rug. Anyone who uses the word hypothesis is making a guess.

One-Tailed Test
A statistical test in which the critical area of a distribution is one-sided so that it is either
greater than or less than a certain value, but not both. If the sample that is being tested falls
into the one-sided critical area, the alternative hypothesis will be accepted instead of the
null hypothesis. The one-tailed test gets its name from testing the area under one of the
tails (sides) of a normal distribution, although the test can be used in other non-normal
distributions as well.
Two-Tailed Test
A statistical test in which the critical area of a distribution is two sided and tests whether a
sample is either greater than or less than a certain range of values. If the sample that isbeing tested falls into either of the critical areas, the alternative hypothesis will be accepted
instead of the null hypothesis. The two-tailed test gets its name from testing the area under
both of the tails (sides) of a normal distribution, although the test can be used in other non-
normal distributions.

Structure and objectives
The Board has a Chairman and from two to fourteen other members, all to be
qualified as High Court judges or else to have at least fifteen years of relevant
professional experience. The Board only handles large or medium sized sickindustrial companies in which large amounts have been sunk. Under the Sick
Industrial Companies Act the Board of a sick industrial company is legally
obliged to report it to the BIFR, and the BIFR has the power to make whatever
inquiries are needed to determine if the company is in fact sick.
Among other objectives the act was to provide a way to revive sick industrial
companies and release public funds.If a company is found to be sick, the BIFR
can give the company reasonable time to regain health (bring total assets above
total liabilities) or it can recommend other measures. The board can take other
actions including changes to management, amalgamation of the sick unit with ahealthy one, sale or financial reconstruction.
The BIFR was intended to bridge the legal gap between sickness and revival. It
would impose time schedules for revival related activities to be completed,
oversee their implementation and conduct periodic reviews of sick accounts.

Human Resource & Human Resource Development
A business unit needs material resources as well as human resource for the conduct of various
activities. Of all the "M"s in management (such as Materials, Machines, Methods and Money)
the most important "M" stands for Men i.e., manpower working in the organization. It is through
manpower/employees that all other ingredients of an enterprise-money, machines, materials,
marketing, etc., are managed. In brief, Human Resource (HR) constitutes the most important andthe most productive resource of an industrial / business unit.
Human Resource Development (HRD) means to develop available manpower through suitable
methods such as training, promotions, transfers and opportunities for career development. HRD
programs create a team of well-trained, efficient and capable managers and subordinates. Such
team constitutes an important asset of an enterprise.

Importance of Human Resource in Management
Human resource is most important resource in management and needs to be used efficiently. This

conductive to the growth and development of an organization. HR is a highly productive corporate
asset and the overall performance of companies and corporations depends upon the extent to
which it is effectively developed and utilized.
The function of management is to manage managers, workers and work". The importance of
manpower in business management is now universally accepted. Employees have a capacity to
grow and develop, if suitable opportunities are offered. They give positive response to monetary
and non-monetary incentives, training opportunities, favorable work environment and motivation.

Phases of Operational Research:
The first phase is to identify the problem through the observation of its symptoms if it is not
obvious. Relevant questions to what the problem is about are asked to clear any doubts and the
objectives, limitations and requirements of the client are established.
In the second phase, formulation as a mathematical model would take place based on the problem
in the previous phase. The choice of the model is crucial to success so a lot of considerations need
to be made for the restrictions, limitations and assumptions to be put in place.
Model validation, the third phase of the project, involves running the algorithm for the model on
the computer. This is to ensure that the input data or computer program is free from errors and
correctly represents the model. It is also to check and ensure that the results from the algorithm
seem reasonable.

Scope of operations management:
Quantitative analysis of operational processes with respect to quality, timing and costs can only be
performed if tolerances, operation times, routings and failure rates are known. In most cases these
variables can only be known in stochastic terms. This type of analysis requires both statistical
analysis of real life data or data from laboratory experiments, but also application of mathematical
modeling techniques.
Operations management deals with organizations and people working in organizations. They take
part in transformation processes themselves, so designers of these processes have to take the
human possibilities and limitations into consideration.
The idea of optimal control and design of operational processes presupposes some criteria and
objectives for optimality. Cornerstone of these notions is the economic evaluation of control
policies and design choices. Economic research contributes to the development of qualitative and
quantitative models for design and control of operational processes and for risk management.

Various classes of contract: The law relating to contracts in India is contained in Indian
Contract Act, 1872. The Act was passed by British India and is based on the principles of English
Common Law.
On the basis of validity:1. Valid contract: An agreement which has all the essential elements of a contract is called a valid
contract. A valid contract can be enforced by law.
2. Void contract[Section : A void contract is a contract which ceases to be enforceable by law. A
contract when originally entered into may be valid and binding on the parties. It may subsequently
become void.There are many judgments which have stated that where any crime has been
converted into a "Source of Profit" or if any act to be done under any contract is opposed to
"Public Policy" under any contractthan that contract itself cannot be enforced under the law-
3. Voidable contract[Section 2(i)]: An agreement which is enforceable by law at the option of one
or more of the parties thereto, but not at the option of other or others, is a voidable contract. If the
essential element of free consent is missing in a contract, the law confers right on the aggrieved
party either to reject the contract or to accept it. However, the contract continues to be good and
enforceable unless it is repudiated by the aggrieved party.

No consideration No contract:
Natural love and affection :
An agreement made without consideration is valid if it is express in writing and registered
under the law and it is made on account of natural love and affection between parties standing
in a near relation to each other.
Example-1: An agreement entered into by a husband with his wife, during quarrel and
disagreement, whereby the husband promised to give some property to his wife. The
agreement is void because, under the circumstances ,there is no natural love and affection
between husband and wife.
Voluntary compensation :
A promise made without consideration is valid if it is a promise to compensate wholly or in a
part, a person who has already voluntarily done something for the promissory or something
which the promissory was legally bound to do.
