This module aims to equip students of business management and accounting with a questioning-based approach to understanding the relevance and applicability of economics tools of analysis to problems relating to the wider economic environment which should be of use to them in their further study of business and accounting.

This module aims to introduce students, many of whom will never have studied economics before, to the fundamentals of the subject. It will give a basic grounding firstly in economic interaction at the level of individual consumers, employees and firms, and then in aggregate at the level of the national and global economy, and show students how an understanding of how economic ideas and concepts can be of considerable relevance to the challenges and decisions faced by businesses and their leaders.
