Business Economics – the Levers of Success - Half-day Snapshot

Overview

This half-day Snapshot covers everything you want to know about economics, but were too embarrassed to ask! Economics is the study of our market system; it's the study of how people make choices about what they buy, what they produce, and how our market system works. This Snapshot should clear up some of these mysteries with clear answers.

Topics Covered

We will cover:

• What is economics?
• What determines the cost and price of the things we buy?
• Market structures
• Macro economics – including – trade, the implications of changing exchange rates and globalisation.

Who should attend

We are bombarded with economic jargon and concepts throughout our lives. For example we might be told that the dollar has strengthened, the demand for oil has increased or that taxes or subsidies have changed. This Snapshot is for anyone who wants to understand what it all means and how economic variables impact on the organisation and the industry they work in.
