Synopsis
The course initially outlines the problem solving and decision making process that the conventional economics model utilises to enable firms to make `rational' pricing and investment decisions. A comprehensive explanation of firm profit maximising pricing behaviour in various market structures and under different market conditions is presented and critiqued. Concepts for investment decision making with uncertainty are outlined and developed. Strategic decision making, particularly when faced with uncertainty is discussed and assessed in several business contexts.
