The Indian government is likely to temporarily stop BlackBerry services in the country if Research In Motion (RIM), the maker of the BlackBerry smartphone does not address New Delhi's security concerns. The home ministry has called a meeting of mobile operators on Thursday to issue a temporary ban on BlackBerry services in the country if RIM does not share encryption details by a deadline that will be set during the meeting, according to government sources. Indian security officials last month warned the Canadian RIM that it would have to cease operations in the country if it failed to adequately address security concerns over BlackBerry's encrypted data that can be misused by terror groups and cannot be monitored.

Ban on imports of certain American poultry products, including meat and eggs. The US has called the ban as "unjustified" health-safety worries.The US had disputed India’s decision last year for banning import of poultry and poultry products on unscientific grounds.it had argued that the ban imposed on countries' reporting outbreaks of low pathogenic notifiable avian influenza had no basis in science and was not supported by the World Organisation for Animal Health. According to the sources in the Agriculture Ministry, to safeguard the interest of Indian farmers, the government has imposed an import duty of 104 per cent on poultry items from America. the US may request the establishment of a WTO dispute settlement panel.
Research pinpoints key elements of an economic environment. These include, among many others, income, purchasing power, market size, market type, and economic freedom. Reducing the oft-overwhelming idea of an economic environment to its more easily understood elements, as this chapter shows, provides useful building blocks. Then, with that understanding in mind, we can analyze how they interact in building the economic environment.Figure 4.3 also highlights the importance of applying a systems perspective—namely, that linkages among elements mean that change in one element in the economy affects other parts.Key economic forces include:• Price stability• Capital markets• Factor endowments• Market size• Public policy
A market economy is an economy in which decisions regarding investment, production and distribution are based on supply and demand,[1] and prices of goods and services are determined in a free price system.[2] The major defining characteristic of a market economy is that decisions on investment and the allocation of producer goods are mainly made through markets.[3] This is contrasted with a planned economy, where investment and production decisions are embodied in a plan of production.A command economy, or a planned economy, is an economic system where the main economic decisions (such as allocating scarce resources like labour, capital, soil and natural resources) are taken by a central body; which is usually the government.A command government is a economic system where the government takes control over all the land and keeps it all to themselves. The government tells what to produce how to produce the goods/services and whom may get the goods and services. The government makes all the laws.Mixed economy is an economic system in which both the state and private sector direct the economy, reflecting characteristics of both market economies and planned economies
