This is a basic introductory course in Microeconomics. The general aim is to introduce students to the systematic and rational understanding of basic economic and technical terms of modern Microeconomics and to explain how businesses and households try to maximize their financial goals through proper management of scarce resources. The student will understand the basic mechanisms of production and the various elements that shape production costs and the various forms of markets competition.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to know the behavior of economic subjects (households and businesses) and how to create a system (a model) from definitions, assumptions and principles based on the behavior of these subjects, which will satisfactorily explain the interdependencies of economic cause and effect. The student will also understand how to approach issues of a financial nature by citing a  significant number of exemplary exercises and will be able to decide between several alternative solutions to a problem, and choose the one that results to greatest overall utility. Finally, the student, knowing the operation of the market mechanism, will interpret economic phenomena, make rational decisions, and minimize the risks of uncertainty.

Macroeconomic theory and, by extension, Macroeconomic Policy are key branches of Economics. The purpose of this course is the study and systematic analysis of the behavior of the overall sizes of the economy, also called macroeconomic aggregates. Macroeconomic aggregates lead us to draw conclusions about the overall course of the economy. The aim is to present and analyze the content of the Macroeconomic approach and how to use it in order to analyze and explain the goals and problems of the economy. The subjects of study are GDP, investment, consumption, savings, etc., as well as the problems of the balance of payments, inflation, unemployment, balanced growth, economic crises, etc. Discretionary fiscal and monetary policies are undertaken by economic authorities in order to achieve the macroeconomic objectives of stability, employment and economic growth.

Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:

• Analyze and explain the various economic phenomena and economic aggregates, such as inflation, unemployment, GDP, the balance of payments, economic growth and the mechanisms through which these aggregates can be affected in order to maximize the economic well-being of the socio-economic system.
• Understand how the interactions of economic variables can lead to positive results for the development of the Greek economy, and to what extent government policy can differentiate the state of economic development by implementing appropriate fiscal and monetary measures.

The purpose of the course is to make a first contact of the students with the mechanisms of action of this important business function.  Future graduates as executives of finance and not only entities have a multiple and complex role to play. They are not only the financial advisors of the entrepreneur or organizations, but they can become business executives or entrepreneurs themselves. Greek businesses with inherent weaknesses (small size, lack of organization, specialized staff, etc.) must develop actions making use of the particular abilities and skills of their staff and to shape into products and services those characteristics that are difficult to copy (quality, packaging, appropriate sensory dynamics, etc.). The Marketing course offers them the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills to fulfill this role. Through research of the market (goods and services), knowledge of the particular dynamics of the business and a good Marketing plan, he will be able to make proposals for the development of actions in areas where Marketing opens up new avenues (4Ps of Marketing). An attempt is made for the student to understand the necessity of extroverted action of economic entities. In the direction of the implementation of this strategy there is no better method and irreplaceable experience than the availability of their goods and services in competitive environments. The value of the business is shaped by the value recognized by the customer, the supplier and the market in general.

With the project assigned to the students, we aim to acquaint the students with the mechanisms of Marketing, the use of its various tools, the acquisition of the ability to analyze issues related to the application of Marketing tools and the realization of the goals of finance and not only entities.
