Organizational Economics (12146)

Content: 

Organizational economics enables students to solve problems in the business world, e. g. to analyze conflicts in company cooperations. In the process, they learn various tools that help them to identify and discuss these "organizational problems" and to come up with proposals for solutions. The theories of New Institutional Economics, Property Rights Theory, Transaction Cost Theory and Principal-Agent Theory, as well as Game Theory,  form the instruments of the students. After the end of the course, the students are able to independently transfer their acquired competencies to unknown problems.
