Instructor’S Guide


Book Description

This book is ideal for teaching subjects related to marketing, management, entrepreneurship, and business ethics. It can be used as the tool to teach students/trainers in advanced undergraduate and MBA/MSc classes. It is widely acknowledged that, only theoretical discussion does not provide the comprehensive understanding about the business decisions that are taken by the managers and/or other parties involved. And thus, use of cases are common in business studies which not only provides students understanding about the practical aspects of the concepts that are being taught in text-books, but also it introduces students with several aspects of the real-life dilemma, complexities and challenges while working in a business environment. This book contains teaching notes of the book titled A Handbook of Malaysian Cases: Contemporary Issues in Marketing & Management in which eleven local cases were presented. The teaching notes serve as a guide for instructors who intend to utilize these cases in their classes. Each teaching note includes a brief synopsis of the case, learning objectives, the case's target audience, information about the case leading strategies, relevant concepts/subjects, suggested assignment questions, and their corresponding suggested answers. In this way, the instructors will have greater understanding about the use and applicability of the said eleven cases. It is hoped that university lecturers, practitioners, and students who are undertaking courses in business studies will benefit from this book.

Microeconomic Theory


Book Description

Microeconomic Theory: A Heterodox Approach develops a heterodox economic theory that explains the economy as the social provisioning process at the micro level. Heterodox microeconomics explores the economy with a focus on its constituent parts and their reproduction and recurrence, their integration qua interdependency by non-market and market arrangements and institutions, and how the system works as a whole. This book deals with three theoretical concerns. Due to the significance of the price mechanism to mainstream economics, a theoretical concern of the book is the business enterprise, markets, demand, and pricing. Also, since heterodox economists see private investment, consumption and government expenditures as the principal directors and drivers of economic activity, a second theoretical concern is business decision-making processes regarding investment and production, government expenditure decisions, the financing of investment, the profit mark-up and the wage rate, and taxes. Finally, the third theoretical concern of the book is the delineation of a non-equilibrium disaggregated price-output model of the social provisioning process. This book explores the integration of these various theories with a theoretical model of the economy and how this forms a theory that can be identified as heterodox microeconomics. It will be of interest to both postgraduates and researchers.
