MIKE study programme



These pages point to information concerning my teaching at the MIKE Master Programmes in Innovation, Knowledge and Economic/Entrepreneurial Dynamics (for cand. oecon. and cand. merc.). The main areas covered by me are Schumpeterian industrial dynamics, the modelling of economic evolution and the economic theories of the firm.
 

Schumpeterian industrial dynamics (Course M1)

The background reading for the course is a large extract of Andersen's Joseph A. Schumpeter: A Theory of Social and Economic Evolution (to be published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2010).

M1-4. Visions and concepts of economic evolution (Andersen, Chs. 1, 2, 3)

M1-5. Entrepreneurship as the driver of evolution (the Mark I model) (Andersen, Chs. 4, 5, 6, 8) M1-6. Oligopolistic competition as the driver of evolution (the Mark II model) (Andersen, Chs. 7, 11) M1-7. The instability and sustainability of economic evolution in the Mark III model (Andersen, Chs. 9, 10, 12)

Economic theories of the firm (Course A)

The main textbook of the course is Douma and Schreuder: "Economic Approaches to Organizations".
