Business takes place within an economic structure. How the economy operates dictates how business in general functions and how individual business organisations work. The legal, political and social systems within which such organisations exist are geared to the requirements of a particular type of economy and the economic structure reflects the expectations of the political and social spheres. They are all inter-related and influence each other. This module will look at the different rationales for types of businesses, the different functions within a department and provide an overview for how businesses run.
