In recent years, major companies such as Amazon, Google, Meta (Facebook), Uber, Airbnb, and Microsoft have built in-house economics teams to harness analytical tools from economics in areas such as strategic decision-making, product development, pricing, platform governance, and policy analysis. This trend reflects a growing recognition that advanced microeconomic thinking—especially insights from game theory and behavioral economics—can provide valuable guidance in navigating complex and dynamic business landscapes.

This course is designed to provide DBA students with a solid foundation in microeconomic theory and its applications to real-world business challenges. We will examine how firms engage strategically with competitors, customers, regulators, and internal stakeholders, and how formal economic models can help clarify and evaluate these interactions. Core topics include asymmetric information, incentive mechanisms, strategic pricing, market and platform design, competition and cooperation, and bounded rationality.

近年来，许多大型公司如亚马逊、谷歌、Meta（Facebook）、Uber、Airbnb 和微软等，纷纷建立了内部经济学团队，利用经济学中的分析工具在战略决策、产品开发、定价、平台治理和政策分析等领域提供支持。这一趋势反映出对先进微观经济学思维的日益重视，尤其是博弈论和行为经济学的洞察，能够为应对复杂和动态的商业环境提供宝贵的指导。
