4. Written Assignment

This week’s assignment is an article analysis. You can find the link to the article “What the Microsoft Antitrust Case Taught Us” under the Guide to Week 4 link in the Reading Assignment tab.

The objective is not a research paper nor a summary of the article.  Its intent is to demonstrate a critical analysis of the article’s content by relating to the economics concepts introduced in this course thus far.  Papers should be no more than 3 pages, typed, and double-spaced using one-inch margins.  To guide your efforts, do not write simply to demonstrate what you know.  Write to demonstrate what you know because it relates to or explains concepts related to this course.  Papers will be evaluated based on the degree to which students accurately understand and apply the specific language and methodology of managerial economics and recognize problems and theoretical underpinnings of a given issue.
