About the Author
Dr. Brian T. McCann has taught courses in managerial economics, strategic management, and entrepreneurship at the undergraduate, MBA and executive education levels. He holds an MBA from Vanderbilt University, where he earned the Founder's Medal as the top graduate of his class. Dr. McCann received his doctoral training in strategic management at Purdue University's Krannert School of Management, where he was awarded the Ross Fellowship, the Krannert Certificate for Distinguished Teaching, and the Purdue Research Foundation Research Grant. His more than 10 years of industry experience include operating a residential land development company, serving as the CFO for an Internet start-up, and implementing new strategic initiatives for a non-profit economic development group. In addition to co-authoring this MBA-level textbook in managerial economics, Dr. McCann's work has appeared or is forthcoming in journals, such as Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Management, and Journal of Management Studies. His current research interests span strategic management and entrepreneurship and include the performance implications of firm agglomeration, the effects of ownership structure on competitive behaviors, and the role of threshold-based decision making in the entrepreneurial process.
Dr. Mike Ward has taught courses in Managerial Economics, Industrial Organization and Business Strategy, Human Resource Economics, and Economics and Regulation of Information. He has spent nearly two decades in academia, holding positions at the University of Illinois and the University of Texas at Arlington where he is currently Professor of Economics in the Business School. Prior to returning to academia, Dr. Ward served as an Economist at the Federal Trade Commission for four years attempting to tear down barriers to competition (though he was not managed by Dr. Froeb). Dr. Ward's research focuses on the economics of innovation and competition. He earned his undergraduate degree in mathematics and economics from UCLA and his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago.

About the authors
William C. and Margaret M. Oehmig Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise. Ph.D., Wisconsin 1983.
Professor Froeb has taught the core Managerial Economics class in Vanderbilt's MBA programs for 25 years. He has been named “Outstanding Professor” of the Executive MBA program, an honor that he shared with his colleague and mentor, David Scheffman. His former student and textbook coauthor Brian McCann, has since pushed him out of the running for any teaching awards. The Fifth edition of their textbook, Managerial Economics: A Problem Solving Approach, was published by Cengage in 2018.
Professor Froeb has spent his professional life going in and out of academia and the government. As a government enforcer, he is exposed to interesting problems, and then has time to work on them when he returns to academia.
Today his models are used by agencies around the world to enforce competition laws. Professor Froeb has just returned to Vanderbilt after serving as chief economist of the Antitrust Division of US Department of Justice. Previously he served as chief economist at the Federal Trade Commission, staff economist at Justice, and taught at Tulane University.
Along with colleagues at the Dept. of Justice, Professor Froeb has helped develop CompetitionToolBox.com, a suite of interactive web apps designed to teach lay people (attorneys and judges) how oligopoly models work. The models provide a transparent mapping from evidence to prediction, which not only gives them credibility, but also gives lay attorneys and judges who rely on them an intuitive feel for how they work.

But the book itself isn't as good as I expected it to be. It does give quirky and interesting examples but lacks in giving information about many if the important topics in detail. I personally found online forums and khan academy to be better suited to learning Econ.
