Redesigning managerial economics to suit the MBA

International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education, 2011, vol. 2, issue 2, 196-205

Abstract: Managerial economics, which seeks to use microeconomic principles to solve managerial problems, has become firmly established in business curricula, particularly at the MBA level. Surveys of MBA directors and MBA alumni, however, have indicated that managerial economics tends to be an unpopular course among students. This paper examines the criticisms and makes recommendations for new directions in the curriculum.
