(2) LEARNING OUTCOMES
COURSE CONTENT
Labour economics seeks to understand the complex relations and institutions of the labor market by studying the dynamics between employers, employees, and their wage-, price-, and profit-making incentives. In other words, modern labor economics explores the outcomes of the labor market under the assumption that workers strive to maximize their wellbeing and firms strive to maximize profits. It also analyzes the behavior of employers and employees and studies their responses to changes in government policies and/or in the demographic composition of the labor force. The purpose of this course is:
Α) to teach how workers and firms make decisions in the labor market.
Β) to teach how the government can alter the economic opportunities available to both workers and firms by changing the “rules of the game” through social policies, thus influencing the decisions of these two players.

Econometrics II is the natural continuation of the Econometrics I course. The course continues into special issues of econometric analysis. Departing from the assumptions of the simple linear regression model in this course we study actual phenomena apparent in real life phenomena, as autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity and the existence of unit roots. Moreover, we study panel data and probability models where the dependent variable is a binary one. All these are taught, without losing the basic focus on empirical applications.
Upon completion of the course the student will be able to: • define adequately the models for solving various empirical problems. • Examine and infer upon the existence of a causal relationship between variables and the policy implications from this relationship. • comprehend the various issues in defining actual real life models and proposing ways to overcome the various obstacles during the applications of the models. • apply specific, state-of-the-art and demanding methodologies in solving economic problems. • infer upon the empirical findings of the problems and determine the effects in applying economic policy measures.

The course is an introduction to decision theory mainly by providing the analysis framework for probabilistic models, qualitative and quantitative methods to support decision making process and problem solving. Through a systemic approach and a large variety of case studies the appropriate methodological framework is analyzed. Key emphasis is given in modelling and determine the framework which leads to decisions. The uncertainty is analyzed promoting methodologies of determining optimum and/or satisficing solutions. By a series of real life applications, the decision making process is examined and appropriate methods to specific problems are developed.
The decision models presented in this course are using a wide range of mathematical, graphical and statistical analysis background in order to tackle both uni-criterion and multi-criteria decision making problems with quantitative and/or qualitative data.
Based on above quantitative and/or qualitative analysis framework, the course learning outcomes could be summarized: · Ability to define the key parameters and variables of a decision-making process · Ability to choose the appropriate methodology for a decision-making problem · Ability to analyze and assess the decision-making outputs as well as to review the process results through sensitivity analysis · Ability of modelling using the appropriate: o Decision process, variables, parameters, criteria, attributes o Measures for Uncertainty and Fuzziness o Alterative scenarios o Sensitivity analysis o Level of confidence in selected solutions
After a successful course, the students should be able to understand the main issues and techniques in decision making, develop a decision making process and propose solutions, based on: · Statistical analysis: sampling, estimation, regression analysis · Decision trees · Decision making based on game theory · Fuzzy sets · Queuing theory · Scheduling/Sequencing problems: GANT-CPM-PERT · Utility theory · Multi-criteria analysis |

- SYLLABUS
The course aims to examine the basic economic systems of the world, both in theory and in practice. This approach focuses on understanding how economic systems work and how economic theory interacts with government policy, history (and to some extent culture) in order to explain economic performance. The presentation is in chronological order, explaining the main characteristics of each period, the exchange rate systems, the key financial figures, inflation, the trend in interest rates and unemployment, potential crises that characterize it (causes, details and exit from them) and the transition from one period to the other. It also examines the economic choices describing it, the rules of international trade, the attitude of governments (potentially relative to interventionism) and the social and political dimensions next to the economic one.

Business Strategy
The sum of the teaching material can be found on the following page on E-class: https://eclass.duth.gr/courses/KOM06215/.
Course description
The subject of this course is mainly how firms, as socio-economic organizations, articulate their strategy. One of the most critical missions in elaborating business strategy is constructing, implementing, and auditing an integrated business plan.
After introducing the concepts of internal and external environment analysis, the course aims to cultivate the ability of students to identify the comparatively strong and weak points of the business and the corresponding opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis), which is a prerequisite for the firm to carry out a comprehensive business plan. Specifically, the “Stra.Tech.Man approach” is examined and utilized, which concerns the study of the synthesis of the three dimensions of strategy, technology, and management of different firms (socio-economic organizations).
Learning outcomes
This course’s attendance will give students the necessary abilities to:
- Understand the development of strategic thinking over time and study complementary and conflicting schools of thought in today’s strategic management.
- Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the different analytical tools used in articulating the business strategy.
- To comprehensively examine the roles of creativity, imagination, and rationality in the development of strategic thinking.
- To design, implement, and audit integrated strategies for each organization and effectively address evolving specific strategic issues related to diverse socio-economic environments.
General skills
- To understand emerging challenges and make effective decisions from a strategic perspective.
- To analyze the internal and external organizational environment systematically.
- Complete SWOT analysis ability.
- To develop an evolving strategy articulation approach.
- To select and combine innovative strategies and tactical actions within different firms.
Course contents
- Economy and business
- The concept of business strategy
- The external business environment
- The internal business environment
- The dynamic triangle of strategy, technology, and management (Stra.Tech.Man) and the firm’s physiology
- SWOT analysis and strategy selection
