Microeconomics with case studies and applications for strategic management and consulting

Microeconomics is not applied math - this textbook explains microeconomic frameworks used by managers in strategic decision-making. Numerous case studies cover price discrimination, economies of scale, digital business models, game theory, dealing with uncertainty, entry barriers or sunk costs - all of which are crucial for understanding market dynamics and competitive behaviour. Frameworks and concepts are highlighted that have strong connections to strategic management.
