These organizations have the sole objective that is to earn higher profits within the enterprise in an effective way (Wild, Wild and Han, 2014).

Stakeholders are the persons who influence or get influence by the decisions which are made within company. In this respect, number of stakeholders identified that influences the purpose of these companies such as Dominos Pizzas and EasyJet etc. It comprises of customers, employees, supplier and government etc. The stakeholders are common for both the organization. Dominos Pizzas has sole purpose to provide finest quality of goods and services to their customers (Wheelen and Hunger, 2011). This objective can be achieved by them if they possess the team of competent employees that are capable enough in terms of giving finest quality of services to their customers in an effective way. In addition to this, supplier of Dominos Pizzas causes significant effect on the operation of firm.

Change in the tastes and preferences of customer’s influences the Dominos Pizzas objective of expansion with their specific product in an effectual way (Kolk and Van Tulder, 2010).

In the similar way, stakeholders of Easy Jet influence their purpose in the following manner. Easy Jet objective of providing their customer safe and point to point services can be fulfilled by them if they possess the team of trained employees. This is because it is with the help of them only safe flight journey can be provided by the manager of organization to their respective customers. The policy of government influences Easy Jet purpose to provide reliable services to their customers by giving affordable fares. For example, government has increased the rates of taxes in UK, than in this condition it became difficult for the organization that is to sale their services to the customers at the affordable prices. Increased demand of the customers with respect to the Easy Jet services causes its significant effect on the existing services. This is because any kind of changes in this aspect takes lots of time and money of the enterprise. Delay in the services of supplier leads to causes its necessary effect on the Easy Jet purpose of giving point to point air services to their customers (Kotler, 2011).

In this structure, individuals are provided full freedom with respect to present their views in front of the management of the enterprise (Elliot, 2011). This style is effective for the Dominos Pizzas. It is because with the help of this, corporation can identify the area which is impacting their performance in a negative manner.

Moreover, it is because of the presence of this aspect only Easy Jet is able to fulfill their purpose of giving consistent and reliable services to their customers in an effective manner.

TASK 2

Feasibility study of two different markets of Dominos Pizzas is carried out. In this respect, India and UK market is selected. For the purpose to assess the feasibility study of these two markets following questions are answered.

Explaining that how economic system attempts to allocate resources effectively

Economic system plays crucial role in allocating the resources within nation effectively. From the analysis it is identified that both countries such as India and UK possess mixed economic system. In this economy collective decision with respect to the allocation of resources is being taken by the government as well as private entrepreneur. In this economy, private enterprise like Dominos Pizzas are not permitted to function freely and they are being controlled through price mechanism (Jung, 2011). However, this economy allows organizations that are to make decision which is beneficial for the customers of Dominos Pizzas. In the economic system allocation of resources is done effectively because here shortages of goods are avoided which is usually occurs when  ineffective planning with respect to same is being carried out by both private individual like Dominos Pizzas and government.

Assessing the impact of fiscal and monetary policy on the organization

Fiscal and monetary policy causes its necessary impact on the working of Dominos Pizzas. Fiscal policy is the type of policy which is used by government for the purpose to collect revenue within nation. This is done by them by carrying out variation in the taxation rates. In India, firm like Dominos Pizzas has to pay the tax rate of 30%. However, in UK the tax rate is in between 24% to 21%. This depict that Dominos Pizzas will have pay high taxes in India. Any changes in the given rate cause its significant effect on the existing strategy as well as working of organization. This is because increase in the rate of these taxes influences enterprise like Dominos Pizzas that are sale their product at the high prices. On increasing the prices of product large number of customers cannot be attracted towards the organization (Lee, 2011).

Monetary policy depicts about the process through which monetary authority of country carries out their control over the supply of money. For this purpose they use the instruments like CRR and SLR etc. In India CRR rate is 4% however in UK there is no legal requirement for this rate. Organization will have to pay high interest on the loan if the rates of CRR in the particular country are high. These rates can affect the production as well as pricing policy of Dominos Pizzas.  

Impact of competition policy on the organization

Competition policy possesses significant impact on the organization. UK competition policy has a main objective that is to save consumer from two types of behavior of the organization such as collusive behavior and abuse of market power etc. In collusive behavior firms earns higher profits on the expense of customers. UK competition policy affects the motivation of recognized firms like Dominos Pizzas. This is because, by complying with such type of policy the selection with respect to the any kind of strategies such as pricing and promotion etc is not being carried out by them in an effective manner (Carroll and Buchholtz, 2014).

Competition policy of India carries out full control over production, supply, distribution, storage and acquisition of goods and services. This is done for the purpose to reduce the monopoly of particular company within country. This influence the organization like Dominos Pizzas in terms of relying changes in their strategies like pricing. For example, Dominos Pizzas has decided to sale their services at high process with an aim to create monopoly within India. This objective cannot be achieved by them due to the presence of this policy.
