Hi Tom,
As you probably know affect is mainly a verb in the sense of having an influence on:
The sort of climate in a country affects the way people live.
Effect can be both noun:
Hot weather has an effect on some people and makes them feel tired and sleepy
and also a verb:
| Quote: | | An aspect of a business that effects a change on another aspect of the business |
. as you have shown in your quotation. This not a typing mistake because the verb effect here has the sense of put into practice/carry out/complete. From that we also get effective, the adjective meaning creating the right result.
