Managerial Economics

Success in business depends on the positioning of the firm and the management of its resources. Through the lens of economics, students will learn to think systematically and strategically about critical management issues concerning consumer demand, costs, pricing, market competition, and organizational incentives. This course differs from undergraduate microeconomics in its emphasis on how economic principles apply to real-world managerial decisions, with a reliance on quantitative data analyses rather than the use of calculus. Managerial Economics is the first in a series of three EMBA core economics courses; it is followed by Markets and the Economy (MTE) and Global Economic Environment (GEE).
