OVERVIEW
This text is designed to teach students the economic way of thinking about business decisions and strategy. Managerial Economics develops critical thinking skills and provides students with a logical way of analyzing both the routine decisions of managing daily operations of a business as well as the longer-run strategic plans that seek to manipulate the actions and reactions of rival firms. It is a self-contained textbook that requires no previous training in economics. The text carefully develops and applies the most useful concepts for business decision making and strategic planning.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
(a) Self-contained Empirical Analysis: Offers self-contained treatment of statistical estimation of demand, production, and cost functions
(b) New Illustrations: Includes 5 new illustrations on topics such as Effects of Changes in Determinants of Supply, Diamonds are Forever – Entry Barriers are Not, etc.
(c) Updated coverage in existing content: Includes additional discussion of topics such as separation of ownership and coverage of business, and existing illustrations across the chapters
(d) Flexible Mathematical Rigour: Starts with only algebra and graph-reading skills, while all other analytical tools are developed within the text itself
(e) Dual Sets of End-of-Chapter Questions: Provides both Technical Problems and Applied Problems
(f) OLC: Comprehensive supplementary materials including Instructor’s Manual, PPTs, Test Bank, Online Appendices, Web Chapter, and Duplicate Technical Problems with Answers
