Teaching about important economic and commercial topics which business people need to understand to their business environment and develop profitable organizations.

Economics and Commerce are closely related fields of study; both deal with production, the different forms of business enterprises, marketing, finance and banking, transport, insurance, and a wide range of other topics. Whilst Commerce is concerned with how the modern business world works, Economics attempts to explain why it works as it does. This unique Program covers – in an interesting and practical style – the wide range of important topics within the spheres of both Economics and Commerce which all modern business people, managers and administrators need to know to develop and maintain profitable organizations in the modern business world. Good knowledge of business economics is usually required for all further and higher professional, managerial and business related courses, and for career success in almost any job or employment with an organisation involved in production or supply, or where any buying and selling of products takes place.
