This course is the intersection between understanding economics-based decision making (using pricing as an example), economics in practice and the impacts of a global economy (technocratic vs. Malthusian theories. This course is apolitical and will instead focus on the mechanisms that drive the economy, thus driving sound business decision making (with regards to pricing & cost structures). As a graduate level course, you are required to draw connections among economic theories and ideas (synthesis), appraise, defend, argue and support your decisions (evaluate), and design, develop and formulate original thinking (create). These (synthesis, evaluation, and creation) will be evident in both your written work and class dialogue.
Generally taken in the senior baccalaureate year.
