About the course
How can economic ideas and principles help us to understand how organisations work and industries function? What role do economic principles play in management decisions and in the analysis of strategic interactions among businesses and organisations? Unlike conventional management courses, at Essex you analyse the economics of a business or organisation and investigate how they operate and behave
You develop your abilities in economics and gain confidence in applying them to organisational management, as well as receiving expert training in quantitative research methods
You gain a thorough understanding of how businesses function and develop your analytical, modelling and research skills through studying topics including:
Managing people and practices
Marketing
Monopoly power and regulation
Applying economic techniques to managing new technologies
The impact of business decisions on products, prices, and social welfare
We are rated consistently highly for student satisfaction and are top 5 in the UK for research, with over 90% of our research rated as “world-leading” or “internationally excellent” (REF 2014)
Management economics gives you a valuable grounding in economics, with a particular focus on how companies work
We provide you with a greater understanding of the how firms operate, teaching you how resources are allocated within a company, why a company is structured in a particular way, and how these structures affect the overall economy

Course programme
Studying at Essex is about discovering yourself, so your course combines compulsory and optional modules to make sure you gain key knowledge in the discipline, while having as much freedom as possible to explore your own interests. Our research-led teaching is continually evolving to address the latest challenges and breakthroughs in the field, therefore to ensure your course is as relevant and up-to-date as possible your core module structure may be subject to change.
For many of our courses you’ll have a wide range of optional modules to choose from – those listed in this example structure are just a selection of those available. The opportunity to take optional modules will depend on the number of core modules within any year of the course. In many instances, the flexibility to take optional modules increases as you progress through the course.
