Managerial Economics in a Global Economy , 3rd edition, by Dominick Salvatore 2. Other assigned readings. The Wall Street Journal 2. The course is conducted largely as a discussion course concerning the theory and analysis of managerial economics as well as empirical applications, applied problems and case studies. Although certain aspects of each chapter will be considered in detailed classroom presentations and discussions, the chapter content should be regarded as requisite background preparation for other analyses and discussions that extend beyond the textbook's contents.
Full preparation is needed before each class.
Weekly Summaries and Critiques A one to two-page summary and critique of a case study from the text or other reading assignment will be due typically every week. Papers should be typed and preferably double spaced. An adequate critique of a case study from the text will require consultation of the case's original sources. Papers are graded on a ten-point scale, read in class and discussed. The presenter should be prepared to lead the discussion.
