Best answer

Demonetisation is a component of economic environment of business. Economic environment refers to broad characteristics of the economic system in which a business enterprise operates. 

Following are the components of economic environment: 

1. Relative role of private and public sectors. 

2. Growth rate of GNP and per capita income at current and constant prices.

3. Rates of savings and investments. 

4. Volume of imports and exports of different items. 

5. Balance of payment and changes in foreign exchange reserves. 

6. Agricultural and industrial production trends. 

7. Money supply in the economy.

A business enterprise is an economic institution and therefore, economic environment exercises significant influence on business. For example, reduction in rate of interest reduces the cost of capital and thus encourages more investment in business operations. Similarly taxation policy, monetary policy and industrial policy of the government influences the working of the organisation. A rise in the disposable income of people due to increase in national income creates increasing demand for products.

Can you explain in brief please
On 8 November 2016, the Government of India announced the demonetization making all Rs.500 and Rs. 1,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi series invalid past midnight. The government claimed that the action would curtail the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism. The SENSEX and stock market fell over 6 percent on the day after the announcement. The decision was heavily criticized by members of the opposition parties, leading to debates in both houses of parliament and triggering organized protests against the government in several places across India. People seeking to exchange their bank notes had to stand in lengthy queues, and several deaths were linked to the inconveniences caused due to the rush to exchange cash. After demonetization the demand for point of sales (POS) or card swipe machines has increased. E-payment options like PayTM has also seen a rise. In context of this case.
