Modern day corporations operate in a complex macroeconomic environment in which their strategic choices are influenced by international interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, business cycles and financial markets. This is especially true when the global economy is prone to unexpected and large changes in these variables. The aim of the course is to help students acquire an understanding of the interactions between these variables and their influence on the business environment. In this course we study economic growth, business cycles, and some recent global events to understand how these variables influence the business environment.
Our discussion consists of four parts. The first section is a brief review of how macro-economists view an economy, some micro economic principles and familiarization with some important aspects of a market economy like market structure and imperfections. In the second section we get to know how households and government make their economic decisions. In the third section we develop the importance of international trade and financial links of an economy, with focus on its implications and special emphasis on the current international financial problems of the US economy. The last section integrates the material from the previous sections to understand the state of the contemporary global economy and its sustainability.
