ECO 100 Principles of Economics
Activity 3: Recognize Trends to Make Strategic Decisions (30 points)
Economic concepts can be applied to a range of companies, industries, regions, states, and nations and
impact strategic personal and organizational decisions. One of the most effective ways to understand the
application of these economic concepts is to visualize trends that are happening in the form of graphs,
charts, and tables. Based on the information being displayed in these visuals, an individual can make the
best decision for his or her personal life or for a company. For example, you might look at housing market
trends to decide if its the right time to buy or refinance, or your company might decide if it should
increase or reduce prices.
