[KN] Private businesses are those that are owned by private individuals while public businesses are those that are owned and controlled by the business
{AN} The main focus of a private business would be to maximize their profits by making as many sales as possible whereas public businesses since they are government owned they usually work for the welfare of the economy
{AN+} Thus the prices of the goods of the private sector would be relatively higher than those of the public businesses

{KN} Private businesses start producing the products that are higher in demand (demerit goods) whereas the public businesses seek to produce products that are advantageous for the economy rather than what is demanded
{AN} In private businesses the customers are convenient and so they decide what is to be made which increases the chance of market failure in the economy as well
{AN+} Hence the public sector utilizes all the negative externalities through the production of merit goods as well as making more people aware of the consequences of the misallocation of resources

(Kn) main aim of public firms if betterment of society whereas main aim of private sector are profits (an) the private individuals work to make a profit since that is their number 1 goal. The public firms work and produce goods that are either public or merit goods such as defence of fruits (an+) the private sector uses cost efficient methods for profit making and dont think about the the community whereas all the decisions the public sector makes if for the welfare of the people

[KN] Difference in ownership, private sector businesses are owned and controlled by private individuals(entrepreneurs) whereas public sector businesses are owned and controlled by the government
[AN] these private individuals mainly aim for profit maximization however, state owned businesses focus on other objectives such as reducing unemployment
[AN] therefore private sector businesses' resource allocation decisions are efficient in reducing cost whereas public sector businesses might fail to reduce costs and this might result in wastage of resources eg extra labour may be employed and paid salaries

[KN] The products they produce, A private sector business is likely to produce goods and services that are highly demanded whereas a public sector business produce products which are beneficial and essential for the consumers ( merit goods,public goods)
[AN] therefore private sector businesses allow customers to be sovereign and public sector businesses help to improve standards of living of consumers (usually disadvantaged groups)
[AN] as a result customer relations with private sector businesses improve

[KN]The private sector business is owned, managed and controlled by individuals whereas public sector comprises of various businesses owned and controlled by government.
[AN] Moreover, private sector businesses main objective is profit maximization and building a good brand image however the other sector focuses more on serving the general population in the best possible way.
[AN+] Thus their different aims draw a straight line between the result produced too as private sectors will charge high prices in order to earn more and public sector may keep low and steady prices to make sure the factor of affordability stays constant.

[KN] Stability of job [less in private sector and more in public sector businesses]
[AN] Jobs within the private sector are not very secure as any worker who is felt useless is simply removed from the plate however jobs in public sector are said to be secure because government also aims to have unemployment at its lowest rate.
[AN+] This is because private sectors are not willing to increase costs but rather to reduce it and the government thinks of welfare of people so it even takes on extra people for the jobs .
