Summary
In today's 24/7 marketplace, news about the economy dominates the front page of every newspaper. When it comes to applying the headlines to your company or industry, are you at a loss? Businomics connects the dots between the economy and everyday business decisions including: staffing levels, inventory, capital expenditures, financial structure, and investments-and shows you how you can profit and protect your business during any economic cycle. You'll learn how to develop early warning systems for economic problems-and to understand how local, regional, and foreign business cycles could affect your bottom line. Unlike textbooks or college courses, which teach abstract equations, theory, and policy, Businomics makes economics painless-and relevant. With Businomics, you'll have all the tools you need to understand how the economy affects your business, industry, and investments. Book jacket.
