Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This approach to managerial economics takes models from recent economic research and applies them to the internal structure of the firm. After teaching basic applied economics, the authors look inside the firm and apply this analysis to management decision making.

Managerial Economics and Organizational Architecture, 5e helps the student to gain an understanding of the basic tools of economics used to solve important business problems. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the firm and corporate governance topics. The fifth edition has an improved focus on decision-making and managerial applications, within the structure of an organization.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
