Traditionally, production means a creation of services or the changing the materials into products. Economic resources comprise human beings and all the things they use to produce the goods and services which people want. In economics, these resources are described as factors of production. They are often classified into three main groups: natural, human and manufactured.

Natural resources are the resources provided by nature and not by human beings. The word land is used to describe the gifts of nature.

Human resources consist of the energies, skills and knowledge of the working population. These resources are described as labour.

The word capital is used to describe manufactured resources. They consist of such things as factories, machines, railway, roads, power stations, docks and so on.

Many economists include a fourth factor of production – the entrepreneur. This is the person (or persons) who organizes land, labour and capital into units of production. These units of production are described as firms.
