Economics of Markets and Organisations (Master)

Organisations differ strongly in productivity. This programme allows you to have a positive impact at work, by learning how  market structure and organisational policies affect organisational performance. These crucial insights and skills will help you to deal with current and future challenges that organisations face.

This specialisation uses the latest research insights and techniques. It teaches you to determine how organisational policies, such as recruitment, rewards, job design, decision-making procedures, and leadership drive human behaviour at work and, by extension, organisational performance. Furthermore, you learn how market structure and organisational strategy interact in determining key economic outcomes, such as innovation, productivity, and growth. With the skills and tools to perform theoretical and empirical analysis, you are able to recognise core drivers for challenges that organisations face, and provide, present, and evaluate solutions to these challenges. Not only those of today, but also those 20 years from now.
