Managerial Economics

Microeconomic reasoning gets put to work here as a toolkit for actual business decisions: how to read demand, set prices, anticipate rivals, and choose strategies when competitors are choosing back. You'll spend most of the term working through Harvard cases (Beauregard Textile, Radiohead, Sony vs. Xbox) alongside two exams and a project, translating elasticity, cost structures, and game theory into concrete recommendations. It sits at the bridge between the intro econ sequence and strategy-oriented electives, giving the formal backbone for thinking about competition and pricing that later management courses tend to assume you already have.
