Managerial Economics: Analysis and Management, with eBook Access Code, 10th Edition
by William F. Samuelson, Stephen G. Marks, Jay L. Zagorsky
Overview
The new edition of the best-selling managerial economics textbook, extensively updated to reflect current examples, data, and research
Now in its tenth edition, Managerial Economics introduces the complex decision problems facing today's managers, equipping undergraduates, MBAs, and executives with the economic knowledge and analytical skills required to solve these problems. Going beyond the traditional academic approach to teaching economic analysis, this comprehensive textbook favors practical examples and skills rather than theoretical treatments, illustrating how managers use various economic methods in the modern business environment.
Designed to strengthen critical thinking skills, each chapter opens with a central managerial problem that challenges readers to consider and evaluate possible choices and concludes with a detailed review and analysis of the decision using the concepts introduced in the chapter. Numerous decision-making examples, mini-cases, end-of-chapter problems, and real-world applications reinforce students' quantitative understanding without overwhelming them with an excessive amount of mathematics.
