Course summary

How can economic ideas and principles help us to understand how organisations work and industries function? What role do economic principles play in management decisions and in the analysis of strategic interactions among businesses and organisations? Unlike conventional management courses, at Essex you analyse the economics of a business or organisation and investigate how they operate and behave.

You will develop your abilities in economics up to post-graduate level and will gain confidence in applying them to economics and organisational management. You will gain a thorough understanding of how businesses function and develop your analytical, modelling and research skills through studying topics including:

  • Managing people and practices

  • Marketing

  • Monopoly power and regulation

  • Applying economic techniques to managing new technologies

  • The impact of business decisions on products, prices, and social welfare

Our MEcon Management Economics trains you to use economics in managerial decisions and in the analysing of strategic interaction among firms. We combine theory and applications to provide you with a unique combination of business knowledge and economic skills.
