Session Summary
Market equilibrium is determined by the intersection of
the supply and demand curves.
At the equilibrium price, the quantity demanded equals
the quantity supplied.
The behavior of buyers and sellers naturally drives
markets toward their equilibrium.

From the managerial point of view, the knowledge of the
nature of relationship between
products demand and its determinants is not sufficient. What
is more important is the degree of responsiveness of demand
to changes in its determinants.
