The Practitioners Handbook
2/28/2008
In today's academic world we find many books trying to satisfy a broad range of material and actualities. Many pictures and comparisons to every-day names in the community of doing business. There are margin sidebars and multi colored wheels and stratified graphs and celebrity endorsements with pictures of CEOs doing "CEO" stuff. There are pictures of workers doing "worker" stuff. There are pictures of trains and planes and cars and trucks and machines and teams and all sorts of add-in ornamentally to make certain we "Get the Picture".
This book is reminiscent of the textbooks of the past; solid writing directed to graphic explanation without a constant assault of reinforcing Getty Images - of limited value beyond the design department of the publisher. When a business practitioner wants to refer to previous material - that person wants core decision-making reference to the issue being considered, not the comic book layout of the pages.
Managerial Economics can be considered a practitioners guide to managing the issues of micro economics. The platform of how to get to an R Squared of R1.0000. A truly worthwhile business book.
