Introduction to Macroeconomics 240 - Introduction to Managerial Economics

Institution:

Allegheny College

Subject:

Description:

A field has emerged at the intersection between traditional economics and business. It involves new understandings of how organizations succeed within their competitive environments and the roles managers play in fostering success. To recognize this area of specialization, the department offers a track in Managerial Economics within the major. This program is an especially appropriate preparation for a career in management or related fields (e.g., law, public policy, or entrepreneurship) or for graduate education in these areas. Through case studies, internships, and interactions with practicing managers, students learn how economic theory and quantitative methods can be used to solve managerial and business problems. To complete this track students must take Economics 100 and 101; Economics 240 as one of the two 200-level elective courses; Economics 160; Economics 300, 310, and 320; and Economics 440 plus one other 400-level elective, which can be replaced by 360 or 370. As with the standard major, a seminar (580's series) and Senior Project is required. The Managerial Economics junior seminar, Economics 588, is recommended.
