MBA/ECON 571: Economic Reasoning for Managers (formerly Economics for Managers)

The purpose of this course is to shift the mental positioning of the subject of economics from outside the organization to inside the organization. Economics is much more than a study of GDP and price indexes; it is, instead, a way of thinking. Students who develop the ability to “think like an economist” and bring such thinking into their work environments will help develop organizations that can weather economic storms and ensure organizational survivability.
