Opportunities Arising from Commerce

Commerce is a vast field which is filled with opportunities that teaches you the principles of what actually happens in the real World. Commerce is a field different from others, it is not about reading a textbook and implying things, it is about gaining the knowledge about everything that is happening around you. Every happening has a reason behind it. For example: Quantity Price 1 5 5 1 If the price of a candy is Rs 5/- then the quantity demanded is only 1 piece but if the price of the same candy falls down to Rs 1/- then the quantity demanded is 5 pieces. This is marketing. You see there is always a reason behind everything. The quantity rose from 1 to 5 due to the price change of the product, so there is always a reason to a happening.

Analyses, marketing, supply, demand, forecasting, management, research, etc. commerce is a field which includes bunch of categories holding different interests.
