About the course

Economics is familiar to all of us. We hear about it every day on the news and we study it as part of our professional qualification. But how many of us understand how to use it to make better business decisions?

This course focuses on how accountants can use economic concepts to underpin pricing strategies and investment decisions, to create market and product strategies and to strengthen and better understand relationships with customers.
