Review

Aus den Rezensionen:

"… die Lektüre … kombiniert das Standardwissen … so geschickt mit den erforderlichen mathematischen Grundlagen, dass sie auch dem Anfänger … einleuchten. Zumal die Autoren Schritt für Schritt vorgehen und … auf mögliche Denkfehler und -fallen hinweisen. Lesenswert … die einprägsame Darstellung spieltheoretischer Modelle und Wettbewerbsformen im Oligopol anhand zahlreicher Grafiken … Man bekommt Lust, sich eingehender mit diesen Themen zu befassen. Die Zusammenfassungen der einzelnen Kapitel machen … deutlich, worauf es ankommt. Ein umfangreiches Glossar sind weitere Pluspunkte dieser Neuerscheinung. Ein positives Echo dürfte ihr sicher sein." (in: STUDIUM, Buchmagazin für Studierende, Sommersemester 2009, S. 19)
