Why is it important to understand the concepts of inflation, present value, and future value?

What are some of the important terms and concepts that managers must understand in making decisions in today's global economic environment?

Why are these concepts important to business leaders in Saudi Arabia?

Search the SDL or the internet for an academic or industry-related article. Select an article that relates to any of these concepts (inflation, present value, or future value) and doing business in Saudi Arabia.

For your discussion post, your first step is to summarize the article in two paragraphs describing what you think are the most important points made by the authors (remember to cite the information, as appropriate). For the second step, include the reference listing with a hyperlink to the article.

Please note, do not copy the article into your post and limit your summary to two paragraphs. Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy your search.

Embed course material concepts, principles and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly peer reviewed reference in supporting your answer unless the assignment calls for more. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Electronic Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.

You need to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer.

Normal course dialogue doesn't fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.

Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
