We will study how firms make strategic decisions in competitive environments. Using real-world examples from industries such as healthcare, real estate,digital platforms, and others, we will examine how microeconomic models operate in practice. Topics include, but are not limited to, pricing and price discrimination, product and platform differentiation, entry deterrence, information asymmetry, and collusion. The goal is to provide a rigorous economic foundation for understanding market structures and to develop applicable solutions to challenges faced by managers and government policymakers
