Courses in Term 2

Decision Making and Optimization - The course highlights business issues that would benefit by using optimization techniques. The professors did a good job by highlighting how seeming problems can be broken down into pieces and how each part can be understood and solved through the tools and framework of the course.

Global Economics - What is the impact of global / macro issues on the business world?

Marketing Decision Making - A major chunk of the course is devoted to MarkStrat, a marketing strategy simulation game which allows us to act as product managers. My study group did not get a hang of the game till the very end. This is going to cost us dearly in terms of grade.

Competitive Strategy - How do you use frameworks to understand competition? What can be done to counter competition and to build advantages for ones own firm?
