2. Introduction to the Module
This module takes further the introductory materials involving the economic underpinnings of business and management activity encountered in the corresponding core module. Itis designed to develop further analytical skills and an understandingof the economic principles and how they apply to the business environment. The module explores various aspects of business behaviour, including acquiring an efficient mix of inputs, price and output determination, and growth strategies. The focus is on providing the tools needed to build the bridge between the economic theories and practice by furthering the students’ knowledge on some of the techniques of economic analysis (demand analysis, costs analysis, game theory).In this module, students will acquire vital tools for applying economic analysis to managerial decision making, which are valuable to any business.

3. Intended Learning Outcomes
Anglia Ruskin modules are taught on the basis of intended learning outcomes (LOs). On a successful completion of the module, students will be expected to be able to demonstrate they have met those outcomes. For this module, in particular, on its successful completion students will be expected to be able to:

LO1: Assess therelevance of conventional micro-economic principles to actual business behaviour.

LO2: Useeconomic analysis to explain observed business behaviour within specified sectors and markets and in response to specified external events.

LO3:Apply empirical and case study evidence to the testing and/or devising of economic hypotheses.

These intended learning outcomes are linked to the assignment coursework. The assignment aims at verifying students’ understanding of the economic environment and the role of the market conditions in shaping business behaviour. The assignment is designed in such a way to serve as a bridge for directapplications of the principles, techniques and concepts of economics to managerial problems.
