Lehrinhalte
In this course, we use economic tools and approaches to analyse how modern companies are managed and organised both conceptually and empirically. The curriculum is split into the economic analysis of within-firm and between-firm topics of interest. In the first part, we cover management practices, decision-making and hierarchies, as well as personnel economics and internal (labour and capital) markets. In the second, we investigate relationships between companies in the form of formal and relational contracts, the vertical and horizontal boundary of the firm (e.g. make-or-buy decisions), and Mergers & Acquisitions. This introduction to key corporate issues in Organisational Economics is taught in business school style and endows students with a set of conceptual ideas to analyse strategic aspects of firm organisation and business environments.
