Managerial Economics - Hardcover

The 6th Edition continues to emphasize the economic way of thinking about business decision making in order to show how market forces create both opportunities and constraints for business enterprises: both profit-maximizing and nonprofit firms. A number of new and revised features make the book a more user-friendly and self-contained teaching and learning resource.
