Learning Outcomes
During the last few decades the field of Industrial Organization has been studied by most economists, and especially by those focusing in finance, marketing and strategy. This is mainly due to two reasons: (1) industrial organization is the first field in economics in which game theory has been applied to a large extent, and (2) industrial organization has analysed the operation of highly competitive markets. In particular, industrial organization places great emphasis on the study of business strategies and their interaction in the market (price competition, product differentiation, advertising, etc.) and also deals with the study of oligopoly (i.e. competition between competitors).
Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
• have a deeper understanding of firm’s behaviour in a non-competitive environment
• understand how markets and industries operate
