ECON 164 CM - Economics of Strategy

In a business economics setting, strategy is concerned with long-term “big picture” decision-making, including determining firm boundaries, evaluating the firm’s competitive environment, designing internal organization and compensation structure, and identifying the relation between strategy and organizational decisions. Besides exploring examples of strategic management decisions through case studies, the course develops a formal analytic framework for thinking about strategic management decisions based on recent developments in the fields of economics and strategy, including game theory.
