Managerial Economics develops simple, practical tools and concepts for business students as well as practical managers. Written in simple, accessible style, the text-book presents the essentials of managerial economics.

It uniquely integrates the discipline to other managerial functions, including accounting, finance, human resource management, and marketing. Managerial Economics teaches students how to make better business decisions, not how to build models.

  • Each chapter opens with a real mini-case that is developed through the chapter.

  • Examples from all over the world.

  • In-depth discussion of the "new economy" throughout the book.

  • Expanded analysis of organizational boundaries and organizational architecture -- incentives, monitoring, and ownership.

"I adopt this book over many others for several reasons. First, it is pitched at the right level of rigor and features topics that are relevant to MBA students.  

Second, it contains many questions and cases from the   real world, as opposed to artificial examples.  These help students apply economic concepts to business and management. 

Third, the examples and discussion are truly international, just as business today is global."

"Professor Ivan Png's textbook “Managerial Economics” is widely used by MBA and EMBA programs in China.

Students like it because it does not rely on complicated mathematics and yet it succeeds in clearly conveying most of the important economic ideas useful for business managers.

Furthermore, it contains many real world examples that help students learn the materials and illustrate the application of economics to business decisions.

It is my first choice when teaching managerial economics."

"The best feature of Ivan Png's Managerial Economics is how it motivates complex ideas using actual case studies and exercises.

It is the best available introduction to microeconomics for MBA students. Although simply written, without mathematics and intricate graphs, Png covers the key topics with surprising rigour."
