Aim of the course
“Managerial economics” refers to the application of economic theory
and the tools of analysis of decision science to examine how an
organization can achieve its aims or objectives most efficiently.
So the focus is on the individual organization and the aim of the
course is to provide the student with ways of reasoning, thinking
and approaching problems, and with a number of models and tools
that will enable the student to “attack” and solve complex decision
problems on an organizational level.
