Economics for Managers introduces students to economic reasoning as a framework for analysing and addressing organisational, market and public policy problems. Students apply economic concepts and analytical frameworks to understand how individuals, organisations, markets and governments make decisions and how those decisions influence the allocation of scarce resources and broader economic outcomes. The subject examines resource allocation in markets, by firms, industries and in the macroeconomy, and evaluates alternative approaches using criteria including efficiency, equity and sustainability. Students develop the capability to apply economic reasoning, formulate evidence-based recommendations, and communicate those recommendations to support organisational and public policy decision making.
