The selective, thematic, policy oriented approach of Economics for Business,
combined with its strong emphasis on market structures, monetary policy and
interest rates, business fluctuations and globalization, makes it especially
suitable for MBA and other executive programs, as well as for post-experience
conversion courses.
Economics for Business focuses on three essential branches of modern economics-
competition and the market system; macroeconomics and the economics of openness
and globalization, including the analysis of international trade, foreign investment
and exchange rates. The book has a very strong business focus and has been used
in the UK on many MBA courses as well as short, often one semester post experience
executive courses. It has also proved popular for undergraduate business economics
courses.
The book examines economics from a business perspective and is selective in
its coverage, focusing on setting out the big picture and including topics on
the basis that they throw light on issues relevant to business. It has a strong
policy perspective. Economic issues are analyzed in a policy context, which
helps students see the relevance of economics to business decisions. The book
adopts a modern approach to macroeconomics, as appropriate for business students,
and pays special attention to globalization, trade liberalization, economic
integration and exchange rates.
