create spiritual and material wealth can, using the resources and factors of production.These categories are extremely important in economic theory.The resources of production - is not nothing but a set of financial and material resources, social, spiritual and natural forces are used in the creation of services, goods and other valuables.That is what economic theory divides varieties of production resources:
first group - natural.This refers to the substance and the natural forces that are potentially suitable for use in further production.Among them are "exhausted" and "inexhaustible".
second group - material.It all means of production, which have been created by man and of themselves are the result of production.
third group - labor.This includes the population that is of working age.Its in this aspect is assessed by several parameters: the cultural-educational, professional qualification and socio-demographic.
fourth group - financial.Refers to funds allocated for the organization of production.
As soon as the technology is passed from pre-industrial to a post, and the importance of varied resources.Previously, priority was labor and natural resources, and now - information and intelligence.
Three resource groups that are inherent in almost any production called base - is labor, material and natural.But financing that emerged only at the "market" stage are called derivatives.
But this is not a classification of production resources.Other scientists propose to divide them into three groups: the first - the general, the second - and third specific - interspetsificheskie.General - those whose value does not depend on whether they are in the company or not.Specific - the value of the company is much lower than inside it.A interspetsificheskie - vzaimounikalnye, complementary resources and maximum value is achieved only in a particular company, and solely through it.
resources and factors of production are similar concepts.But there are differences.Earlier it was noted that there are natural resources, social, physical strength, which only can be involved in production.A modern production factors - one of the economic categories, which represents resources already involved in the manufacturing process.Thus, the resources and factors of production - the concept is similar, but the concept of "production resources" is broader than the term "factors of production".That is, the factors of production are generating resources.
resources and factors of production have their own classification.The first one was discussed, but the second:
1. Earth - so-called natural good, which are usually used in any legal proceedings.They may be wood, air, minerals and so on.Land is considered a limited resource, so it made for a charge, called rent.
2. Work - a mental and physical effort, used by people in the process of production of goods and services.Users can exercise their ability to work for a fee, called a salary.
3. Capital - it is usually consumed in the production process.Therefore the use of capital available in the well for a fee, which is called "percentage of equity".
4. Entrepreneurship.Its main task is to bring together in a production process of capital, labor and land.And for the effort and the risk of being invested in the business, he gets paid or otherwise - profit.
factors of production can really control, possess or use of state firms or private individuals.
