Review

"Dr. Hirschey, I am preparing for my final in Managerial Economics, and I thought I would drop you an email to thank for writing such a great textbook. I don't know how many thank you notes you get, but you did a superb job in writing this text. I am no mathematical genius, and I really have a good shot at an A in this class. Thanks for writing something PRACTICAL." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, September 16, 2005

This review is from: Fundamentals of Managerial Economics (with Economic Applications Access) (Paperback)

I am using this text for a managerial economics class for MBA students. I selected this text because it includes chapters on statistics, linear programming and risk, which I am covering in the class. Unfortunately, it is filled with errors - typos, incorrect formulas, and misrepresentation of basic economic concepts, such as derived demand. Some of the typos and other mistakes make concepts very confusing for the students. I am extremely disappointed. I expected much better from a book that is the eighth edition. I do not understand how it went to print with so many mistakes. I have contacted the publisher. I will not be using this text again.

Managerial Economics, a good book for the management student with a simple theory and less numerical's.For knowledge this book is good ,only for the theory purpose but not for the one's who want to practise mathematical analysis.

Thanx to Amazon.
