It is therefore imperative that all business leaders and managers have an understanding of the forces that shape this environment and understand how organisations can successfully respond to changing environments. This unit has been included in the program to provide the analytical framework needed to understand how market conditions are determined and how these conditions affect business performance. This unit is offered at this point in the program to lay discipline-specific foundational knowledge and skills in relation to economics to reflect the fact that economic forces have a profound impact on most areas of business decision-making and an early appreciation of this discipline is therefore desirable.","title-full":"GSZ491 Economics in Business","title-short":"Economics in Business","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=GSZ491&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=GSZ491","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=GSZ491"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
