This unit is primarily concerned with the economic analysis of individual decision-making agents, the behaviour of firms and industries within markets. Students learn how a market-based economy works, what type of problems households and businesses face, and how the economic framework can be used to analyse the policy environment within which they operate. The unit also examines how technology spreads globally, social interactions and dilemmas, and concepts of fairness and ethics. The concepts are taught through a mix of tutorial questions that examine business and social trade-offs, and authentic practical examples. Students will gain business and economic skills and incorporate an appreciation of global, ethical and environmental context and social responsibility. Overall, the unit provides a platform for students to apply an economic framework across disciplines within the Business School.
