COMM 220: Analysis of Markets provides a comprehensive exploration of Canadian and international markets, focusing on product, labor, and financial sectors. The course provides insights into key economic issues critical for managers and entrepreneurs, such as changes in market structure, the impact of government policies, interest rate dynamics, inflation, and the role of financial intermediaries. Students will learn how these markets interact, develop, and respond to both domestic and global influences. Emphasis is placed on understanding regulatory impacts, the behavior of supply and demand, competitive market analysis, and the foundations of financial systems.

The course builds on foundational knowledge from micro- and macroeconomic studies to equip students with analytical skills for assessing economic relationships among firms, consumers, and broader economic conditions. Key learning outcomes include understanding market functions, such as labor and financial markets, analyzing consumer decision-making under uncertainty, and recognizing how factors like interest rate changes and exchange rate fluctuations impact the economy. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply essential economic concepts, like competitive market dynamics and the principles of comparative advantage, to real-world financial and economic scenarios.
