| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The course introduces the main microeconomic theories and
provides students with the analytical tools and capabilities which
will allow them to critically examine digitalization and digital
transformation for consumers, firms, industries and society as
a whole. The course will apply and discuss microeconomic theories
and how they can help to analyse, understand, and solve business
and societal problems. By applying these theories, we can develop
recommendations for decision and policy making. This course will
emphasize the importance of economic theories in the context of
digital transformation. This will provide students with a
fundamental understanding of how to approach both business and
societal problems related to
digitalization.
