The goal of economics is to determine the social factors
that are involved with the distribution, purchase and consumption
of products or services. It is involved with the study of
how individuals and society consume products and services.
Microeconomics studies individual businesses or segments
of society while macroeconomics studies the interaction
of these segments and the economy as a whole.
The first step in any economic study is the collection of
data. The data consists of the measurable costs of doing business
and purchasing commodities. Secondly, models must be derived
from this data. Models examine relationships between different
commodities and the workforce.
Finance is all about money. In the business
world, finance covers the way companies raise and use money

There are two major aspects that marketing techniques
can be applied to. Firstly, the acquisition of new clients
and development of new business opportunities. Conversely,
marketing is used to retain current customers and expand the
opportunities with them.
Economics, psychology and sociology all have input into the
marketing techniques that a company may employ.
Historically most companies have taken a customer focus to
their marketing efforts, meaning that they selected
a target market and then developed products to fit that market.
With product focus companies develop a product and then look
for consumers to market that product to. |
