Large-scale economic trends can profoundly affect businesses of all sizes, whether it’s inflation, governmental policy, or changes in market demand. For contemporary organizations to remain competitive, executives must account for the impact in their strategic decision making. The Economics for Business online program from MIT Sloan offers you the opportunity to explore economics from a business perspective, guided by renowned economist Professor Roberto Rigobon. You’ll be exposed to an engaging mix of case studies, narratives, and problem-solving activities designed to build your understanding of macroeconomics. On completion, you’ll be able to apply your knowledge to interpret and manage economic change within your organization.
The program is geared toward business professionals and leaders looking to understand the influence of economic trends on business and seeking tools, concepts, and models to inform their decision making. Aspiring managers and executives with decision-making responsibilities stand to benefit from an understanding of the broader business environment. The cross-industry applications of macroeconomics are beneficial for business professionals aiming to enhance their knowledge of economic trends and advance their careers.
