Study the theory of the market economy to equip yourself with useful tools and methods to boost your managerial skills. The goal of market theory is to use the tools of ‘economic reasoning’ to explain the market process and improve a company’s financial performance. You will be guided through the notion of ‘perfect competition’ (especially in the stocks and credit-card markets) and different economic analyses. You will study the behaviour of individuals and firms in monopolistic and oligopolistic environments, as well as price determination and discrimination.
