This unit is divided into three interlinked parts i.e. energy economics, environmental economics and sustainability issues. The energy economics section covers an overview of the economic, technological, and political forces that shape the global energy industry, policies governments use to regulate the industry, and the business models that emerge. This part also offers a variety of theoretical and empirical topics related to energy market structures: their demand and energy supply, energy prices, environmental consequences of energy consumption and production.  Environmental issues are addressed with the aid of economic theory. Topics include sustainability of economies; pollution as an externality; approaches to dealing with pollution in different countries across different stages of development; methods of valuing the environment and environmental damage; marginal benefits of pollution reduction and cost for their abatement technologies; models of sustainability. 

This unit explores how sustainability issues affect businesses, as well as the strategies that organisations can use to integrate environmental considerations into their planning. Students will be provided with an overview of environmental, social and economic issues affecting business decisions and operations. Applied academic research and case studies will be used to inform students of recent responses to sustainability. Students will have the opportunity to examine and critique both sustainable and unsustainable behaviours and practice in our society. 

This unit covers the strategic aspects of business management and provides a practical and pragmatic approach to policy issues. At a nutshell, this unit covers three areas: microeconomics, macroeconomics and basic econometrics. In Microeconomics, we start with the scarcity problem and gradually learn how to make an efficient choice with our limited resources. We will also discuss the Comparative advantage theory in analysing trade; dynamics of market behaviour, including a discussion of different market structures. In Macroeconomics, we will discuss the impact of macroeconomic policies in a changing global economic environment. In this regard, we will discuss Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply model, which is the key model to analyse an economy!

Finally, we discuss statistical techniques to interpret the data set to make any decision. These techniques include descriptive statistics, probability and its distribution, test of hypothesis and linear regression analysis.
