BA (Honours) Business Economics

It’s a professional course and is more application-oriented than either Eco(H) or BCom(H). The course of BBE is a combination of subjects of BCom(H) and Eco(H). BBE is described as the “Economics applied in Commerce”. The application-based nature of the BBE programme is its USP which is why I went for this Course. Business economics is concerned with economic issues and problems related to business organization, management, and strategy. Issues and problems include: an explanation of why firms emerge and exist; why they expand: horizontally, vertically and spacially; the role of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship; the significance of organizational structure; the relationship of firms with the employees, the providers of capital, the customers, the government; the interactions between firms and the business environment.
