Description
Want to see economics in action? Search online for the Sloman Economics News Site - a blog that's updated several times a week with current affairs and topical stories ... all linked into your textbook so you can explore the background to the issues more deeply.
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.
Up-to-date case studies examine everything from the impact of the financial crisis to the operation of specific businesses to illustrate how economic theory relates to real business issues.
