As a professional manager, you need not only the management knowledge but also an insight on the circumstance your organization is facing. The most important aspect of the circumstance for a company is the market. Hence, a student of business should have a basic idea about what the market is. This course will teach you basic concepts of the market from an economist’s perspective. Of course, you can also learn markets from a sociologist’s perspective in the future. The economists’ way to understand markets starts from a study of the participants in markets. We assume that participants in markets are rational, and observe how these rational participants shape markets. There are two main participants in markets: consumers and producers. Hence, I will discuss consumers’ and producers’ behavior, and how they interact in markets. Since this is a course for business students, I will emphasis more on the producers’ side. Moreover, I will give an introduction to game theory, and apply this theory in the discussions of interactions among companies in markets, auctions, and the role of information. Finally, I will use a long term historical perspective to discuss the importance of markets in the modern world, and analyze the role of governments in markets and long term economic change. You will also have a different and bird’s eye view on markets.
