Economics
Economics is a diverse and fascinating discipline which analyses decision making by individuals, organisations, governments and global organisations.
Economics deals with important issues, such as economic growth and development, industrial organisation and strategic behaviour, public policy design and implementation, and the means to improve overall efficiency and living standards.
Economics provides the foundation for all business disciplines through the study of the interplay between economic environment - in which business decisions are made - and strategic interactions among economic agents.
