This subject provides students with a basic understanding of the economic influences on business. It offers an introductory treatment of consumer and business behaviour in competitive markets, the effects of government policies on market outcomes, and the basic economic concepts used in business analysis and decision-making. It also introduces students to the problem of aggregate economic fluctuations, inflation and the structure of economic relations between countries. Economics for Business also equips students with basic analytical skills to examine the impact of these macroeconomic forces on business conditions and to communicate the results of their analysis in writing.
