Managerial Economics: Applications, Strategy and Tactics

Rating:
Summary: This is an excellent book for self-conducted study
Review: I used this book for the Managerial Economics course at Universidad Simón Bolívar. This book is an excellent aid for students and is plenty of practical examples. Every theoric explanation is followed by one or two examples. This makes it very easy to understand the concepts and to learn how to use them in practics. The ideas are exposed in a very clear way, what makes this book easy to read even if you don't have previous knoledge of microeconomics.

Summary: Counter-intuitive and unnecessarily verbose
Review: The authors do cover most of the material. However, the language used is unnecessarily dense.

Rating:
Summary: Unreadable
Review: This book is highly unreadable. Examples are not too bad, but the main text is way over the head of all but the most experienced statisticians or mathematicians.

Summary: Bridges the gap to game-theoretic applications for managers
Review: This managerial economics book has been recently revised to illustrate the many uses of game-theoretic reasoning in business strategy and tactics. Special emphasis on sequential games of pricing and entry deterrence with in-depth applications and case studies of airlines. Asymmetric information business games receive an entire chapter relating to product reliability, joint venture cost revelations, and managerial compensation plans.
