Economist

Business & Administration

Economists analyse economic events from two different perspectives: Economists (national economists) deal with the economy of entire countries, trade and global economic interdependence, while business economists (business economists FH) focus on individual companies. They deal with all issues that arise in connection with the management of companies, and some specialisations combine both economics and business administration. For example, economists specialising in "Management and Economics" are suitable for strategic management positions in internationally active companies that are constantly faced with new business and economic challenges.
