Business Economics
Theory and Application
Neil Harris Associate Dean
(Enhancement), Southampton Business School, Southampton Institute
- Undaunting
approach for students with very little prior knowledge of the subject
- Includes
economic theory which is used to explore j and analyse business issues and application of
| this theory through international case studies
- Demonstrates
the links between economics, I strategy and marketing
The links to business are far
more intrinsic than in other business economics textbooks where a business 'flavour' is
simply added to traditional economics theory. It provides an in-depth jargon-free
analysis, particularly relevant for one semester courses. A variety of case studies and
questions are used throughout the text both to illustrate key points and for seminar and
assignment work. Diagrams are included to aid the explanation of complex issues, and
review and discussion questions are incorporated to consolidate and expand on the
learning. A lecturer's supplement accompanies the text.
"Use an interesting,
topical and, above all, relevant examples and case studies bring this economics analysis
to life. A rare gem - an economics textbook which is readable!"-Dr Michael
Huberts, Former Vice Principal, Cadbwy College, Bhmmgham.
