Economic Uncertainty and Organisational Agility

Economics is a social science. It is "the study of mankind in the ordinary business of life" (Alfred Marshall, 1842 - 1924). This course will introduce you to using the lens of economics - concepts, ideas and principles that will help you gain insights into the everyday behaviour of people, organisations, governments and nations. At the end of this course, you will find that economics is all around you - not just in the world of business but in the whole world. The emphasis is on using economic thinking to understand our complex and uncertain world and become better thinkers and decision makers as a result. You will not have all the answers by the end of this course but you will be equipped with a better set of questions to ask. The course will include a case study in a bi-cultural context.
