    Unit 1: Introduction to Administrative Law

It encompasses the rules, regulations, and procedures that agencies use to make decisions, as well as the legal remedies available to individuals who are affected by those decisions. The sources of administrative law include statutes, regulations, and case law, as well as the principles of natural justice and procedural fairness.

  • Technology can reduce the time it takes to create a good or provide a service, increasing a business's overall earnings. Technology can help a company's output rate be more effective by enabling the movement of larger quantities of goods or providing more services. Things and services, human actions that produce these products, and technological skills are the three main facets of technology. The elements link to one another and reinforce one another. The technical environment is a component of the macro or indirect action environment. The technological environment is rapidly evolving. The way the economy's resources are transformed into output is influenced by the technical environment. The technological environment feeds off itself.

  • The Internet and other information and communication technologies are just a few examples of the concepts, procedures, people, initiatives, and social movements that fall under the umbrella of politics and technology. Technology has an impact on how people communicate, learn, and think. It benefits society and impacts how people relate to one another regularly. Today's civilization is significantly influenced by technology. It affects people's daily lives and has both positive and harmful consequences on the planet. Politicians can obtain cash, attract political commentators, and spend less on marketing and promoting their candidacy thanks to technology. The financial aspect is one way that technology affects politics. All political candidates must focus on raising money to use for their campaigns.

  • E-Environment is using and promoting information and communication technology (ICT) as a tool for environmental and resource sustainability. The use of ICT-based systems to store, access, manage, and disseminate environmental data and information is part of this process. Global "e-zation" is underway, encouraging a restructuring of corporate structures and a shift in the dominant paradigm. For example, a digital environment in an organization includes systems of email servers, storage/data servers, accounting software programs, web-based applications, customer relationship management (CRM) applications, and websites. The electronic environment is used for various needs, including trade, marketing, advertisement, studies, communication, training, etc.

  • Every marketer has unique difficulties when attempting to build a market for their brand in the ever-evolving and increasing digital environment. While most brands want to accomplish the same objectives through comparable channels, the difficulties encountered differ. One brand may struggle to generate enough social media traffic for its website. In contrast, another may work to calculate the return on investment for the channel that produces the most traffic. In other words, there is always space for improvement in marketing strategies, but the key is to recognize your challenges and goals.
