【Course Objectives】

In traditional neoclassical economics, companies were handled as a black box for a long time. That is because in a perfectly competitive market the players exist as perfect machines that continue to realize maximum profits at minimum expense. Today however, just as in the case of market failures, the view of companies that there are inefficiencies inside a business organization is again becoming a focal point for economic debate and in a more active way than previously. This lecture will focus on this new movements in economics regrading companies and will present a theoretical platform for understanding contemporary companies by combining this discussion with a discussion of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. In other words, the objective of this lecture is to nurture an economics perspective for interpreting contemporary companies.

An additional aim is to use an economics framework to understand innovation in contemporary companies and the entrepreneurial spirit. This is only possible by clarifying the vague innovation concepts and the corresponding objective theoretical system.
