Beskrivning

Develop an understanding of economics applied to the world of business.

Economics for Business, 9th Edition is the ideal textbook for students studying Economics as part of a Business Studies degree or diploma. Clear, engaging, and packed with useful features, the text introduces the key principles of economics, illustrating how they can be used to understand real business problems and aspects of the business environment.

The new, thoroughly updated edition reflects recent events that have shaken the business world. These include the Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit, and rampant inflation caused first by supply-chain problems after global lockdowns and then by the surge in energy and food prices following the invasion of Ukraine.

Each chapter includes topical examples, news stories, and case studies from real businesses to explain and illustrate key economic concepts, as well as activities, questions, and useful summaries to help you check your understanding.
