Credits: 3
Planned Offering: Fall or Winter

Prerequisite: ECON 101. A survey of the structure and performance of industry, from entry and exit of new technologies and products, to economies of scale and scope in mature industries, to how firms are organized and what they “make” versus “buy.” As metrics, we focus on what such behavior implies consumers and for corporate strategy. Students develop an industry case study as a term project. Smitka.
