    As the capstone course for the Health Management major, students learn to apply rigorous statistical and analytical approaches to research questions in health services, but not limited to questions relating to management, finance and economics, operations, and policy. Faculty identify several available research project options and present these options in class. The goal is to capitalize on the strength of the university medical school and affiliated medical centers, in addition to capitalizing on existing relationships between Olin and health care firms to identify the student research projects. Students also are encouraged to formulate their own research question and to identify potential data sources they could use to address these questions, if they so desire. Students work in teams of three to four, using the approach developed for the Practicum and Hatchery courses.

    This course covers the life dynamics surrounding the early stages of starting a business. Based upon a series of "experiential simulations," students are involved in both individual and team competitive gamesmanship situations that replicate real world start-up environments. Students learn to identify characteristics of promising start-up industry environments and markets; to understand the process of early-stage company formation and some of the options open to founders; to understand some of the team dynamics and behaviors that might occur in a start-up; and to have some fun. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing with priority given to seniors.

    In this course, students form teams to pursue their own or an outside entrepreneur's commercial or social venture. The first session features a "Team Formation" event, where students and community members pitch their ideas and opportunities to the class. During the semester, the teams are supported and advised by the instructor, executive coach, and mentor(s) as they research and develop startup plans. Academic deliverables include two presentations to a panel of judges and a complete business plan for commercial ventures or sustainability plan for social ventures. The course is open to students from all disciplines and degree programs. Most of the work is done outside the classroom with the support of the coaches, mentors, advisers, and instructor. Classes are held once per week for the first half of the semester. Workshops and rehearsals are required in the second part of the term. Prerequisite: instructor discretion for all undergraduates. Same as B63 524

    Behavioral Economics is a tool for formulating government policy and firm strategy. While early work in Behavioral Economics could be classified as “parlor tricks,” recent work in “choice architecture” has inverted those insights to solve problems eluded by incentive design. Surveys the key behavioral anomalies causing individual and firm decisions to deviate from those in their best interest. In general, each session is organized around a single anomaly, and includes an in-class exercise and/or case evoking it in a real world setting. We also discuss the underlying theory (contrasting the behavior with that predicted by classical economics) with the broader applications of the anomaly and implications for strategic decisions. Prerequisite: MGT 100. Same as B63 550P
