Document preview thumbnail
Preview 4 out of 355 pages

This textbook is designed for upper-level undergraduate and MBA students, and its core philosophy is to teach managerial economics by focusing on practical, real-world business problems rather than purely abstract theory. Unlike traditional economics texts that rely heavily on complex mathematics and graphical models, this book adopts a problem-solving approach built around common business mistakes and decisions. The authors use economic models sparingly, primarily to help students: Diagnose why a company or manager made a mistake. Determine how to fix it. The book is fast-paced, succinct, and structured around the key decision-making areas a manager faces, including: Decision-Making: Analyzing benefits, costs, and investment choices (e.g., sunk costs, breakeven analysis). Pricing Strategy: Simple and complex pricing, including elasticity, price discrimination, and yield management. Market Dynamics: Understanding industry changes, market structure, and the quest to maintain profit and competitive advantage (Strategy). Risk and Uncertainty: Making decisions in the face of incomplete information (e.g., game theory, bargaining, and auctions). Organizational Design: Addressing incentive conflicts, principal-agent problems, and coordinating activities within a firm. Overall, it aims to place the reader in the role of a decision-maker who must apply economic theory to identify and implement profitable business solutions.
