RSM 3090 - Models and Methods (PhD Strategic Management)

This PhD course introduces methods to estimate causal relationships using data. We cover regression, randomization, statistical inference, peer effects, study design, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity designs, difference-in-differences and panel data, with applications to research in management.

IMI 2001 - Managing Global Health (MMI/MScSM)

This course is designed for management students who are interested in organizations with a social goal. We will adopt global health as a central theme. However, the concepts discussed in the course will apply to other contexts that involve behaviour change for social good, including international development, environment and sustainability, and the Canadian health care sector.

We will approach global health strategy with a focus on the end user. Good health outcomes involve both the customer (the patient) and the provider (the organization, facility, supplier or doctor). The strategic goal of an organization is to improve health outcomes – this requires a clear understanding of both patient and provider perspectives. Students will learn tools from economics and psychology that can be leveraged to impact behaviour.

MGT 437 - Strategy and Governance (BCom)

This course applies ideas from introductory microeconomics to problems in strategic management and governance. We will study competitive firm strategy, including industry analysis and different models of the firm, as well as firm governance and the role of the board.
