Economics of Business and Strategy

Overview

In a fast-paced, highly dynamic and competitive environment, it is crucial to be one step ahead of everyone else. Being able to anticipate the consequences of the alternative choices faced by a company is key to building sustainable competitive advantage.

The Economics of Business and Strategy program from University of Porto was designed to enable students to successfully grasp and tackle this dynamic environment, either as managers or researchers.

A strong emphasis is given to entrepreneurship, innovation, internationalization and incentive-design as essential tools for analyzing new market dynamics and corporate performance. Students are required to understand the current world economy and to predict the economic trends that may prevail.

The program draws on the expertise of the University of Porto faculty, as well as on the unique perspectives of experts and successful managers. 

It also builds on the synergies of FEP’s strong relationships with corporations in order to give students a full perspective on how strategic thinking is a fundamental tool to thrive in the current business environment.
