Q9 Differentiate between private & public sectors businesses. [6]

[KN]the public sector is owned and controlled by the business owners (along with the govt.), while the private sector is owned by individual or corporations
[AN]so while the govt. decides everything in the public sector, the private sector produces according to demand trends and available resources.
[AN+]therefore, the public sector has low chances of revenue due to low prices while high prices in the private sector makes them high profit

[KN]private sectors make decisions based on the demand trends, competition, and revenue/profit generation, while public sectors deal with government rules and other time consuming issues when making decisions
[AN]thus, private businesses are quicker in decision-making and respond to consumer demands swift and efficiently
[AN+]while on the other hand, public sectors usually aim to help the public and achieve eco growth in different methods rather than making money. this is time consuming as it consists a lot of paper work and needs to be thought over (as some decisions could come in conflict with other political decisions
