This is an online course.

The course is delivered over a 6 week period. ‘Time’ is one of our most precious resources and to cover an MBA Course in that time needs planning. This link provides some ideas on Time Management

The Course is more than absorbing information. The activities and interactions are designed to help you synthesise and be able to apply them. Discussion with other, sharing different perspectives through the tutorials and Discussion Board is a great way to hone your ideas, test interpretations and enjoy the journey.


All relevant video recordings and activities are on the MyUni portal

The course introduces the use of self-assessment, evaluation and critical examination to work through a range of economic concepts, models and frameworks, in order for you to develop your own managerial economics mindset. This course teaches you the fundamentals of economics and the approach to managerial economics thought to assist in decision making.

It is delivered online with activities scaffolded towards completion of the Assessments. The Modules are designed to provide you with a framework from which to build your understanding through reading the references, watching the videos, responding to the activities through analysis and discussion of your personal reflections with other students, including in the weekly online tutorial.

Students should allocate approximately 25 hours per week to accomplish the Learning Outcomes for this intensive Course. In total the course is estimated to require 156 hours for completion.

This course includes class discussions, research activities, and online tutorials.

Each module in the course has been designed to maximise your understanding of the content. Throughout the course, you will:

• read about the key concepts—required readings and additional readings will also be presented as applicable

• participate in discussions—these will be within the course itself and also during Zoom sessions with your peers and tutor

Assessment 1 - Executive Briefing Paper

This Executive Briefing Paper will set the scene for Assessments 2 and 3. It is a short paper, and you will delve more deeply into the issues in the following assessment pieces.

In the Executive Briefing Paper, you will present a problem and then recommend possible ways of finding a solution.

The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate how application of critical economic tools and analysis can improve organisational performance.

 

Assessment 2 - Economic Situation Analysis

The analysis for this assessment piece should build upon the Executive Briefing Paper you submitted for Assessment 1: Executive Briefing Paper.

This is a technical economic report, that will provide the economic analysis to identify the current operating conditions for your firm/organisation. The economic situation analysis will apply economic theories, concepts and tools introduced over the first four weeks of this course. You will learn how to provide relevant information to key stakeholders to support decision-making with economic analysis.

 

Assessment 3 - Strategic Growth Proposal

This Strategic Growth Proposal will be developed for the relevant decision maker of your firm/organisation. It will build upon the economic situation analysis conducted in Assessment 2: Economic Situation Analysis.

The purpose of this assessment is to develop a technical economic proposal, that will provide the economic analysis to identify the future performance opportunities and forecasts for your firm/organisation. The strategic growth proposal will enable you to apply the economic theories, concepts and tools introduced through this course to do an economic analysis and make recommendations for future growth options.

The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate application of strategic economic research and analysis to make recommendations for managerial decision making that will result in enhanced organisational performance and growth.

 

Assessment 4 - Critical Business Reflection

This is the final assessment of the course. It draws upon the course learnings as the criteria for your reflection. You will need to review your understanding of managerial economics introduced in the course, not just those relevant to your industry.

Use the lessons from the readings, textbook(s) and your course notes (reflective journal) to critically reflect on your learning in the course. Analyse the relevance of your understanding towards your MBA by reviewing your reflections and writing a brief (equivalent to 800 words) critiquing your strengths and weaknesses in preparing for further research.

The purpose of this assessment is to critically reflect on your accumulated learnings and experience of the course, which may contribute towards the final research project.
