• In the current era, the Indian economy is taking place as a global economy and facing so many challenges in worldwide perspective. The success of any economy totally depends upon the business environment, can be classified as economic environment and non- economic environment. The economic environment of the business consists of many factors such as monetary policy, fiscal policy, industrial policy, price and income equations, economic system, economic development, etc. The non-economic environment of business includes social, cultural, political, legal, technological factors, etc. The economic growth and economic development are considered as the measures for the nation’s overall growth.
• A study of the economic environment is essential to facilitate an understanding of the turbulent and dynamic environment which helps in effective decision-making by business managers. It also gives them an excellent grounding to take sensible business decisions. It is, therefore, imperative that students clearly understand the dynamics of the interrelationship of economic concepts that narrates for a rapidly changing business environment. This can be achieved only when students are presented with the concepts of economic environment, against the backdrop of the latest developments in India and the world. My attempts to accomplish this in the classroom have been well received by all my students.
