Department of Business Administration Management and Economics of Digital Transformation

Organizational Economics (L&E)

Course Outline

This course offers an economic perspective on platforms as a new form of organization. Economic activity has become increasingly digital, and online platforms have now become an essential part of the economy. Digital platforms disrupt existing markets but also create new ones, raising a series of important questions related to firms’ management and competitive strategy. The course will present and discuss the key concepts that dictate and shape platforms and platform markets. These concepts will be discussed using both theoretical economic models as well as empirical evidence based on academic research. Industry cases will also be discussed.
