Explain the scope of commerce.
Commerce
It is a vast
and complex organism and embraces all the functions involved in the buying and
selling of goods. It is rightly said that commerce is the life blood of a
nation. A nation’s economic prosperity is entirely dependent upon the
development in the field of commerce. From the production process till the
consumption commerce plays it part thus it can be fairly said that commerce is
the sum of total of all the activities beginning from the place of production
and ending at the retailer’s shop from where the consumer purchases his goods.
