This course covers the policy and strategic aspects of business management and also provides a practical and analytical approach to economic policy issues. For purposes of convenience, the course is structured into two parts: Part A (Economics) and Part B (Data Analysis).

Part A (Economics) introduces students to economic analysis and policy, with particular application to decision-making in business. The course provides students with the tools to use economic principles in decision-making and an understanding of the broader economic environment in which business decisions must be made.

Part B (Data analysis) provides students with an introduction to basic statistical tools and quantitative methods that are useful in understanding the types of data encountered in business. Importantly, it will provide a framework for approaching economics and business problems, and experience in learning from associated data.
