education, cultural and religious discrimination, overpopulation,

Supplier Management
After agreeing a contract with a supplier, it is important to monitor the
supplier’s performance to ensure that they are providing the service that was
agreed with them. Some firms will agree targets known as Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) that suppliers will need to meet.
Determinants of Spending
1. The Current Level of National Income - Some extra spending is induced
by changes in the current level of national income.
2. The Level of Savings - Spending and saving are mutually exclusive,
which means that if income is fixed, any changes in household savings will
inversely affect spending
3. Expectations - If households are confident, and have positive
expectations about the future, current spending can rise.
4. Rates of Income Tax - Changes in tax rates can clearly affect disposable,
post-tax income, and hence affect household spending.
5. Interest Rates - By altering the level of savings - a rise in interest rates
will stimulate more savings, and less spending
