14333-01 - Vorlesung: Business Strategy and Competition Policy (3 KP)
| Semester | Herbstsemester 2021 |
| Angebotsmuster | unregelmässig |
| Dozierende | John Mayo (john.mayo@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
| Inhalt | The course consists of both lectures and student participation. Through this experience a number of specific benefits result. First, at a very general level, students will gain an enhanced understanding of when markets work and when markets fail. This deeper understanding of markets, in turn, provides the relevant benchmark against which to judge appropriate and inappropriate government policies toward business. Second, a more specific set of benefits flow from a detailed study of competition and regulatory policies. These policies shape industry structure and, therefore, strategy in many industries. Specific examples include recent and lively debates in the United States and around the world regarding mergers and monopolization. Third, the specific cases discussed will focus on active and visible “new economy - Big Tech” industries and cutting edge debates regarding business practices and policies. An improved exposure to these industries enriches and broadens business knowledge. Finally, students will engage in an immersive “trial” in which a firm is accused of violating U.S. antitrust law. Students will assume the role of lawyers, economists and business experts throughout the trial. This is a unique, fun and massively educational exercise. |
| Lernziele | The purpose of this course is to provide an interactive learning experience that highlights the economic, legal and policy foundations of competition policy. The course will consist of both lectures and student participation. |
