About The Book

What do economists know that business executives find useful? Economics ought to be indispensable for business decision-makers because it deals with the issues executives face daily: what to pro duce how and how much at what price how best to use resources (time labor capital) how to understand markets. Why then do managers often think that economists' theories are ivory-tower and impractical? Perhaps because most economics texts are mystifying jargon-rid den and written from every perspective except that of the line manager.In Executive Economics: Ten Essential Tools for Managers Shlomo Maital brings economics down to earth back to the hard day-to-day decisions that executives have to make. He shows how all decisions can be organized around two key questions: What is it worth? What must I give up to get it? Answering these questions depends upon finding and maintaining the right relation in the triangle of profit -- cost price and value.Each of Executive Economics ten chapters focuses on one or more legs of the triangle of profit defines a decision tool and illustrates how it can be used to improve the quality of executive decisions. Drawing on recent examples from both Fortune 500 firms and smaller companies Maital shows why economics main contribution is to deepen executives' understanding of the structure of their costs and to explain why some of a business's highest expenses are those that never appear on a check stub or in a profit-and-loss statement.Executive Economics is written for executives about executives and by an author who has both taught executives at MIT's Sloan School of Management for over a decade and served as a consultant to small and large businesses. It is must reading for executives who need simple effective decision-making tools to give them an edge in today's competitive global economy.
