This course is part of the Management of Technology and Innovation suite of courses from the Judge Business School. The purpose of this course of lectures is to provide an introduction to microeconomics and to familiarise students with some basic concepts, tools and models relevant to management and business in general and, where possible, the management of technology and innovation in particular. Topics covered include some basic price theory, the firm, market structure, game theory, transactions costs, market power and externalities.

Technology is a key driver of change in several increasingly inter-connected industries. This module will seek to familiarize the students with basic concepts in strategy and how firms seek to build their competitive advantage on technology. We will focus in particular on the dynamics of technological evolution, and competition in the New Economy. The module will help students understand how firms such as Microsoft, Intel or Kodak are able to develop sustainable competitive advantages based on their technologies, while other, equally innovative firms fail to capitalize on their innovations.

An Introduction to R: Software For Statistical Analysis, with Dr Simon R. White, MRC Biostatistics Unit, and Dr Adam P. Wagner, University of Cambridge.

GNU R is (freely) available for all major platforms (Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.) and is growing in popularity in academia and beyond for carrying out statistical analysis and data manipulation.

The aim of the course is to introduce participants to the basics of statistical analysis and the open source statistical software GNU R.

Participants will actively use R throughout the course, during which they will be introduced to principles of statistical thinking and interpretation by example, exercises and discussion about a range of problems. The examples will be used to present a variety of statistical concepts and techniques, with no focus on any specific discipline.
