Principles of Managerial Economics
by Donald N. StengelEconomic principles inform good business decision making. Although economics is sometimes dismissed as a discourse of practical relevance to only a relatively small circle of academicians and policy analysts who call themselves economists, sound economic reasoning benefits any manager of a business, whether they are involved with production and operations, marketing, finance, or corporate strategy. Along with enhancing decision making, the field of economics provides a common language and framework for comprehending and communicating phenomena that occur within a business, as well as between a business and its environment. This text addresses the core of a subject commonly called managerial economics, which is the application of microeconomics to business decisions. Key relationships between price, quantity, cost, revenue, and profit for an individual firm are presented in the form of simple conceptual models. The text includes key elements from the economics of consumer demand and the economics of production. The book discusses economic motivations for expanding a business and contributions from economics for improved organization of large firms. Market price-quantity equilibrium, competitive behavior, and the role of market structure on market equilibrium and competition are addressed. Finally, the text considers market regulation in terms of the generic problems that create the need for regulation and possible remedies for those problems. Although the academic literature of managerial economics often employs abstract mathematics and large corporations create and use sophisticated mathematical models that apply economics, this book focuses on concepts, terminology, and principles, with minimal use of mathematics. The reader will gain a better understanding of why businesses and markets function as they do and how those institutions can function better.

Principles of Marketing 2.0
by Mary Anne Raymond Jeff TannerPrinciples of Marketing Version 2.0 by Tanner, Raymond and Schuster teaches the experience and process of actually doing marketing - not just the vocabulary. It carries five dominant themes throughout in order to expose students to marketing in today's environment: Service dominant logic - This textbook employs the term "offering" instead of the more traditional First "P" -- product. That is because consumers don't sacrifice value when alternating between a product and a service. They are evaluating the entire experience, whether they interact with a product, a service, or a combination. So the fundamental focus is providing value throughout the value chain, whether that value chain encompasses a product, service, or both. Sustainability; Increasingly, companies are interested in the impact they are having on their local community as well as the overall environment. This is often referred to as the triple bottom line of financial, social, and environment performance. Ethics and social responsibility; Following on the sustainability notion is the broader importance of ethics and social responsibility in creating successful organizations. The authors make consistent references to ethical situations throughout chapter coverage, and end of chapter material in most chapters will encompass ethical situations. Global coverage -- Tanner, Raymond and Schuster deliberately entitled Chapter 1; What is Marketing?; Whether it is today's price of gasoline, the current U.S. presidential race, or Midwestern U.S. farming, almost every industry and company needs strong global awareness. And today's marketing professionals must understand the world in which they and their companies operate. Metrics -- Firms today have the potential to gather more information than ever before about their current and potential customers. That information gathering can be costly, but it can also be very revealing. With the potential to capture so much more detail about micro transactions, firms should now be more able to answer ;well, what this marketing strategy really worth it?; And what is the marketing ROI?; And finally, what is this customer or set of customers worth to us over their lifetime? Principles of Marketing Version 2.0 brings new and updated coverage of new developments in the influence of social media to empower consumers, as well as marketing's use of social media, such as sentiment analysis, mobile marketing, and customer service and complaint tracking, as a communications and promotion channel, just a name a few. Version 2.0 also has an overall increased number of examples, as well as, new discussion questions in every chapter (resulting in at least 10 per chapter). In addition, the textbook's key terms, and repeated concepts have been strategically arranged to make customizing this book with Flat World's MIYO platform even easier.

Principles Of Micro-economics
by Ryan C. Amacher Richard J. Sweeney Lloyd M. ValentineIn the early 1970s, the economics profession and the teachers of introductory economics courses went through an exhaustive search for "relevance," in large part because students demanded it. Unfortunately, this search for relevance produced a large number of "cute" applications aimed superficially at catching students' (or instructors') eyes. <P><P>We learned, for example, that supply and demand can be applied to markets for illegal drugs and marketable sex. The results of this rush toward relevance, however, were predictable. Some students were offended, others were amazed, and many were bored. Instructors for the most part then fell back on the tested (and familiar) ways of approaching the subject of economics. <P><P>Our goal in writing this book has been to show students the relevance of the economic approach as it applies both to important real-world situations and to economic policymaking. This is not easily accomplished. Today's students are not deceived by slick marketing techniques. If the economic approach is a relevant way to approach social and political problems, students must be convinced through application and example. This book is intended to accomplish that difficult task.

by Ben Bernanke Kate Antonovics Ori Heffetz Robert FrankPrinciples of Microeconomics focuses on seven core principles to produce economic naturalists through active learning. By eliminating overwhelming detail and focusing on core principles, students from all backgrounds are able to gain a deeper understanding of economics. Focused on helping students become "economic naturalists," people who employ basic economic principles to understand and explain what they observe in the world around them. COVID-19 pandemic content, analysis, and examples further engage students. With engaging questions, explanations, exercises and videos, the authors help students relate economic principles to a host of everyday experiences such as going to the ATM or purchasing airline tickets. Throughout this process, the authors encourage students to become "economic naturalists." Author developed Learning Glass concept overview videos and Worked Problem videos give students an overview of challenging and important concepts. With new videos and engagement tools in Connect, like Application-Based Activities, alongside SmartBook''s adaptive reading experience, the 8th edition enables instructors to spend class time engaging, facilitating, and answering questions instead of lecturing on the basics.
