Express interest

Economics is the science of decision-making. This program aims to help public sector managers to make better decisions in allocatng scarce resources, in pricing and delivering public sector goods and services, and in regulating private secrtor activity.

The programn will explore the forces of supply and demand that drive market outcomes and the economic approach to evaluating costs and benefits of public sector activity. It will facilitate public sector managers to appreciate how their decisions are influenced by the macroeconomic framework in which the public and private sectors operate.

The skills and knowledge learned at this workshop will enable participants to make an economic case for or against a policy and be able to understand and respond to an economic brief.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop has been designed for middle-to-senior managers who have not had any prior economics education.
