Abstract According to Nobel Economics Prize laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz (2010), current world economic theories need reform. Financial Times (2015) pointed out that economics should be related to everyday life. Economics lays the foundation for business management and social science. Seizing the constantly changing trends and creating new opportunities are therefore essential to winning market share. This course builds on cross-field materials discussing latest news reports, hot topics, and latest trends. Students will learn to think critically and independently through the in-class discussions on questions related to daily life. The course structure is based on expert advice, with focused learning objectives and the essence of humanistic education. In addition, this course refers to the work of previous students to provide inspirations for online students. This course adopts the concept of humanistic education. Students will have an insight into themselves, business models, and society, achieving win-win situations.

Students who already have taken other economic courses will have an opportunity to learn these western economic theories from an eastern perspective.

This course integrates Chinese cultures and mainstream teaching materials recognized by schools across the world, in order to help students build a more diversified and creative way of thinking. Through case studies, problem solving, and performance evaluations, students are expected to apply these economic theories into everyday life. In addition, this course refers to the work from previous students to provide more examples and inspirations for online students.

In addition, online discussions with the lecturer and teaching assistant are available to students with more possible learning methods, improve overall learning efficiency, and expand students’ horizons even more.
