Inhoud
Companies operate not isolated, but within an environment that is constantly changing. Developments in this external environment directly affect operating results. At strategic levels, companies must make their decisions consistent with current and future environmental developments to stay ahead of the game. Insight into macroeconomic developments is of great importance to business success of any company. In addition, it is important for companies to understand the changing competitive conditions in their markets: who is competing with what? Are barriers to entry? As markets are very cyclical, at what stage of the product life cycle is the market? The international financial markets and institutions, central banks and monetary policy, also play a major role in the entire financial system. The module offers, in addition to theoretical insight into the functioning of the economy at both macro and meso levels, also insight into current economic developments that are relevant to (inter) nationally operating companies and in the functioning of financial markets and the role of financial institutions worldwide
