This semester’s edition of Microeconomics of Competitiveness (MOC) offered students the special treat of two guest instructors. Former RUB MOC instructor Dr Christian Hundt led the discussion of the Estonia case, while Prof Edgar Aragón took charge of the European integration and competitiveness case yesterday. A Mexican based in Brussels, Edgar Aragón is a visiting professor for public finance at the Willy Brandt School of Public Policy at the University of Erfurt. When leading the extensive yet lively 2.5-hour case discussion, he not only shared his vast experience as an MOC affiliate faculty member, but also some first-hand experience gained during his work with and for the European Commission.
In October 2013, the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) was admitted to the Microeconomics of Competitiveness (MOC) Affiliate Network at Harvard Business School. Six years later, Prof Matthias Kiese offers the MOC course developed by leading management professor Michael E. Porter for the eighth time this semester. While the eighth MOC class at RUB nare working on their group projects, preparations for the ninth class in the Winter Term of 2019/2020 are already under way. Once again, the course will be offered on a weekly basis every Monday afternoon from 14-17 hours – Monday is MOC day! Until 30 September 2019, Master-level and PhD students from all programmes across the University Alliance Ruhr (UAR) are invited to register with matthias.kiese@rub.de. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Further information about MOC can be found here:
