Managerial Economics & Business Strategy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provides an excellent background for learning applied managerial economics. Mr. Baye uses interesting real-world examples, which is difficult when writing about the entirely hypothetical world of micro-economics. I felt that the section on Game Theory was especially useful in explaining real world market paricipant behavior in pricing decisions. Overall, I would highly recommend this book for both students of economics, as well as those non-students seeking a weekend of light reading in the topic of economics.

Baye's Managerial Economics and Business Strategy remains the best-selling managerial economics textbook.It was the first textbook to provide students with the tools from intermediate microeconomics, game theory, and industrial organization to make sound managerial decisions.Baye is known for his real-world examples, frontier research, inclusion of modern topics not found in other managerial books, as well as balanced coverage of traditional and modern microeconomic tools.The Sixth Edition retains all of these signature features, and it includes a number of new class-tested features.These include enhanced pedagogical features such as learning objectives, new and updated business applications, additional end-of-chapter problems, better prose, and updated data.Additionally, the Time Warner Case, introduced last edition, is strengthened in the Sixth Edition with detailed teaching notes and nine additional end-of-case problems.

Frank Wood's Business Accounting 1 (v. 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great accounting book. It delivers in what it promises, The chapters are arranged in a logical progression. The pedagogy is elegant. Before I read this book I was lost in the shuffle of debits and credits, with this book I have mastered these a bit.
I'am an American, the content of this book is a bit British. There is a section on VAT, the conceptual framework is British- centric. If you have read Keiso's Intermediate Accouning then you'll know that there is a conceptual framework based on standard setting by governing bodies. A further difference is how trading profit and loss are treated, as I've learned it nominal accounts such as revenue and expense accounts are closed to income summary to finally be debited or credited to retained earnings. In this book it is different, there exist a trading an loss accounts where everything is refelected. Also the authors use individual customer accounts rather than accounts recievable and accounts payable.
This is the new edition of the book, if you are not convinced you could look at the reviews of the previous edition. I based my purchase decision on the previous edition reviews. I also found this book on Amazon UK.
