Health Sector Strategy and Innovation

3 credits · Fuqua School of Business

We will apply tools from business and the social sciences, especially economics and strategy, to challenges faced by managers, patients, and policy makers in the health sector. We will aim for broad coverage of health care, including patients, providers and manufacturers. We will pay particular attention to payers. Payers are of interest throughout the health sector, because most providers and manufacturers want to be paid, and because third party payment influences consumer/patient decisions. This course is intended to prepare people for other Health Sector Management electives. This course is for Global Executive MBA and Weekend Executive MBA students.
