| 授業の目的・方法 ／Course Objectives and method |
This is the first half of the Business Economics series in the “glocal” education program at Otaru University of Commerce (OUC). The class accommodates YOUC international students and OUC regular students who wish to learn Business Economics in English. The main objective of this course is to provide you with some opportunities to learn the microeconomics of business enterprises and their pricing strategies based on the theory of monopoly. I will follow my slides in class, but I will encourage your active participation by asking various questions. I do not assume your previous knowledge to learn in elementary microeconomic courses (e.g., Introduction to Economics I (経済学入門1) in the spring semester for first-year students). However, you are in a relatively advantageous position if you have such exposure previously. The class will be “in-person”. The primary language in this course is English, and Japanese is a complementary language for reviews. I have an email account for you to send any assignments and questions: ikedainotaru3@gmail.com This course is quarterly with two sessions each week: one on Monday 3rd, and another on Wednesday 3rd (12:50-14:20). The course spans from September 24th (Wed) to November 11th (Mon), with two holidays on Mondays (Oct 13th and Nov 3rd). |

| 達成目標 ／Course Goals |
I want you to become more familiar with economists’ ways of thinking about business issues from the viewpoint of optimality/incentive and efficiency for individuals and firms. Given assumptions on the competitive environment and information among them, you are supposed to apply your acquired knowledge to some business and managerial cases. This aspect distinguishes my class from most other courses in the Econ department. In particular, I will ask you to write a case report about an actual business (restaurant, souvenir shop, café, rotating sushi bar, etc.) that interests you. | ||

No particular ones are planned. | ||
| 使用教材 ／Teaching materials |
My slides (circulated for free) will be uploaded on Manaba regularly. I can adjust them appropriately if you are medically challenged. My slides are based on various references (you can find them in a printed syllabus I will upload on Manaba). I will reserve some of them on the entrance floor of the OUC library. | ||

| 成績評価の基準 ／Grading Criteria |
All previous students who attended as many classes as possible and submitted as many assignments as possible could pass this course. However, you must work harder to get an “A” grade. Here are some tips about each of the grading criteria. [1]: I will record your attendance through “Respon” on the Manaba system. [2]: You will have “T/F” questions after each “Theory” session. [3]: We will have several in-class discussions and perhaps one group-based presentation. [4]: You can work on this project in a group of three or four (TBD). |
