Local, national, and international economic factors have always influenced the course of business, government, and the nonprofit community. Understanding these factors can aid leaders in forecasting, budgeting, innovating, and managing more effectively. Students critique economic articles and case studies, conduct cost and benefit analyses, and relate concepts such as market analysis, scarcity, supply and demand, and fiscal fluctuation to their daily functions and organization. Through readings, class discussion, and exercises, students explore international monetary and market systems and their effect on goods, trade, employment, and community development.
