Description

This book teaches students how to use microeconomic theory to analyse business decisions. In a clear and engaging writing style, the seventh edition explores the current market forces that create both opportunities and constraints for business enterprises. The book has enjoyed success in part because of its mid-level of rigour. This edition also features a stronger emphasis on international perspectives and updated examples from today's high-tech economy. Strategic decision making in oligopoly markets has been modernised.
