Kreps’s Microeconomics for Managers is based on an extraordinarily successful course taught to first-year MBAs at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. It represents the most modern text available for Managerial Economics. Stressing game theory and strategic thinking, the book underscores the connections between contemporary microeconomics and the business world of the twenty-first century. Often driven by lengthy, integrated case studies, the narrative shows prospective managers how economic models can yield practical answers to common business problems. Key Features of Microeconomics for Managers: • It stresses game theory and strategic decision- making. • The narrative is driven by case studies and reference to actual companies and industries, among them General Motors, United Airlines, Microsoft, Amazon com, and Xerox • Certain chapters are sure to appeal to prospective managers – Price Discrimination, Porter’s Five Forces, Risk Sharing and Spreading, Signaling and Screening, Credibility and Reputation, and Economics and Organizational Behavior. • Calculus is included but optional, with spreadsheet analysis featuring Excel as a full alternative. • The main text is accompanied by the Student’s Companion volume, which is filled with solutions to problems (from the text), longer and more complex exercises, additional review problems with solutions, and supplementary material to complement key concepts from the text.

What intrigues me about Joseph Kelada`s book is that he identifies many of the tough issues we faced in implementing total quality and offers some common-sense approaches...Kelada lays out a framework that will help guide readers through this critical transition. -David R. McCamus (From the Foreword) Former President, Xerox Canada This book presents several extremely powerful ways of viewing, and doing, TQM that I have never been exposed to before such as the author`s development and use of the terms Quality, the demerit system, and extroversive management. - Donald L. Smith, President/CEO Kentucky Technology Service, Inc. The approach used by Joseph Kelada is articulate and original and I feel that this book will be an essential tool in the hands of executives and specialists who wish to implement ways to increase competitiveness. -Serge Godin President and Chief Executive Officer CGI Group Inc.

Nato solo nel 1998, Google ha trasformato il nostro modo di vivere e di lavorare modificando l'accesso alle informazioni e sovvertendo la logica operativa di interi settori, dalla pubblicità all'informazione, dalla televisione alla telefonia. Sebbene questa azienda abbia sempre cercato di mantenere i suoi segreti, Effetto Google si basa sulla massima cooperazione mai fornita a un giornalista, incluso l'accesso a riunioni riservate, interviste ai fondatori Larry Page e Sergey Brin, al CEO Eric Schmidt e a circa 150 dipendenti ed ex dipendenti. Si scopre una cultura ispirata da brillanti ingegneri, che si mettono in discussione anche le procedure operative più elementari. E si può capire come ha fatto Google ad avere tanto successo - e perché in un futuro molto prossimo potrebbe incontrare delle difficoltà. Da una parte ci sono le grandi innovazioni: dai motori di ricerca a Gmail, Google Maps, Google Earth, YouTube... Dall'altra la tensione tra la crescita vertiginosa e il vincolo etico, i limiti della convinzione che gli algoritmi matematici possano sempre fornire risposte corrette, lo scontro tra la bulimia di dati di Google e i cittadini che si preoccupano della loro privacy. Google ha assunto un ruolo predominante tra i media, e vuole estendere ulteriormente il suo predominio. Ma un'impresa nata in un garage può rimanere competitiva adesso che è diventata un colosso intenazionale? Oppure farà la fine della Xerox o della General Motors?, Garzanti, 2010, Nabu Press.
