COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will introduce you to managerial economics, the application of microeconomic theory to decision making in a wide variety of managerial settings. It will provide you—(future) managers, entrepreneurs, analysts and consultants—with knowledge to help you allocate scarce resources and develop competitive strategies.
The goal of this course is to give students the competence to recognize the benefits and costs associated with business activities, as well as the constraints firms face in varying economic scenarios, in order to make the optimal choice to fulfill managerial objectives. By the time you have completed this course, you will have learned to:
1.thoroughly understand the function of market mechanisms and the interaction among economic agents; 2.understand how the interplay between cost and demand fundamentals shape the prices that prevail in a market; 3.identify the categories of costs that are relevant for critical business decisions such as pricing and market entry and exit; and 4.use several important gametheory based models to understand oligopoly markets. To achieve these objectives, the course will cover topics including demand and supply analysis; consumer theory; production theory; perfect competition; market power and monopoly; oligopoly; game theory; and the economics of information.
