Summary
"Microeconomics for Public Managers presents a rigorous non-mathematical introduction to the study of microeconomics for managers of nonprofit institutions. This unique text is designed for students who intend to work at philanthropic organizations, universities, various levels of government, and other nonprofit entities. Topics covered in this text are selected specifically for their relevance to the nonprofit sector. This enables the key issues to be covered in greater depth than standard microeconomics textbooks and appropriate case studies and cost-benefit analysis to be extensively utilized.
