Managerial Economics

The aim of the course is the ability of study – participants to apply general economic theory, mainly microeconomics, to business and managerial decision processes. The course creates platform for purposeful interconnection between traditional economic theory and the theory of decision making. In some sense the course of managerial economics represents the bridge between relatively abstract theoretical background of rational decision making and managerial practice. The emphasis is selectively laid on those microeconomic topics that are the most helpful to realistic interpretation of economic environment surrounding the firm. The natural focus of the course is represented by the theory of the firm. There are overlaps to management, marketing, psychology, macroeconomics, institutional economics and sociology.
