Essential Economics for Business (formerly Economics and the Business Environment) IE

Long web copy This new edition of Essential Economics for Business presents the core principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics applied to the world of business while also looking at wider, topical business issues, such as business strategy, corporate social responsibility, ethics and the state of the global environment in which we live. Using up-to-date case studies the 5th edition examines everything from the impact of the financial crisis, to the effects of the Brexit vote in the UK, to popular distrust of globalisation, to the operation of specific businesses to illustrate how economic theory relates to real business issues.
