Every Management MBA must understand the underlying functional specialties of a business.
The Module A courses in Hult's Management MBA provide the practical building blocks for students
to understand the business as a whole and to proceed to strategic analysis in Module B.
Each Management MBA course will provide students with the opportunity to solve particular
functionally oriented problems, equipping students with the appropriate analytic tools and
techniques to assess such issues.

MBA Management Course 5: Managerial Economics
This is an introduction for students to solid analytical foundations
(objective definition, marginal analysis and optimization, elasticity analysis,
cost analysis, applied game theory, etc.) essential for rigorously addressing key
issues in competitive strategy, marketing strategy and related fields, and for
improving decision-making. You will also analyze markets and how they work, from
perfect competition to oligopoly (rivalry between a small number of competitors)
to monopoly (one dominant firm). Management MBA participants will learn about companies'
strategic decision-making problems, their available options, and how the competitive environment
crucially affects their performance. The course's ultimate goal is to develop skills for making
effective managerial decisions and strategic choices based on the analysis of the companies' cost
structures and their market conditions.
