Description

Designed to acquaint the student with economic thinking, this text incorporates real world examples to demonstrate that economics is a practical field. Divided into five parts, the book covers introductory material; consumer behaviour; finance related matter; the firm and its external relations with markets and customers; and the internal organization of firms. The property rights orientation of the book merges the points of microeconomic theory applicable to managers with the property rights theory of the firms. The text incorporates real world examples whenever possible to demonstrate concepts.
