Overview
The aim of this course is to introduce students to theoretical concepts and analytical tools from economics that are relevant to firm management. At the end of this course students should be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of demand theory, costs and profit analysis, perfect and imperfect competition, and market and organisation structures. They should be able to use standard methods to analyse economic problems analytically and be apply them to data using standard computer software and appropriate techniques. He course will focus on how to solve real world problems such as: how much does a firm need to produce to break even? Will profits increase if a firm increases its price? How will a firm's competitors respond if they increase production? What is the profit maximising price for a firm?
This module prepares students for more advanced topics covered in Managerial Economics II ECON31000.
