I had no ambitions of
studying and using the fundamentals of microeconomics before enrolling in this
semester's course. I'm pleased I had the chance to learn about the importance
of microeconomics and how it affects our companies, society, and—most importantly—consumers
as the spring semester winds to a close. In microeconomics, we examine how
companies and people make decisions with restricted means. The concepts it lays
forth apply to daily decision-making and may improve one's life. Like any
individual, a company has finite resources. Decisions are made inside
businesses to improve the company as a whole, which may include increasing
profits. Three significant lessons from this training jumped out to me the
most. They included the labour market, consumer choice, and supply and demand.
My appreciation for my few resources has increased due to better comprehension
of microeconomics concepts, and I now know how to utilize them wisely rather
than wastefully.
