Just check the EBS website for my MBA
results and found that I’ve passed my Accounts!
Yippeee!! Now it’s time to focus on Economics … now that’s a dry subject for you!
Here’s what I’m doing …
Overview
Very few managers have a grasp of economic principles and because of this it is often
wrongly concluded that economics is irrelevant to running a business. In fact, economic
factors affect businesses and decision making at three levels. At the macro level
factors such as the business cycle, interest rates and exchange rates directly affect
product demand and cost of production. At the market level the type of competition,
ranging from monopoly to perfect competition, determines profitability and business
strategy. At the company level efficiency principles, including marginal analysis,
opportunity cost and profit maximisation, have a direct bearing on business success.
So by ignoring economic principles you will be unable to figure out likely changes
in market conditions, you will be unable to understand competitive forces and you
will have little idea of how to allocate resources efficiently. >
