Details

Business Psychology is a field of applied psychology. It incorporates findings from economics, psychology, social sciences/sociology, education, and marketing. Business psychology sees itself as a link between theory and practice. It combines psychological and business management content and examines the experiences and behaviour of people in and around economic organisations. Business psychology comprises the two main areas of work and organisational psychology as well as market psychology. Well-trained business psychologists develop psychologically founded answers to questions of economics and their impact on people.
