Now you can "teach by example" with the unique approach to economics found only in McEachern's acclaimed MICROECONOMICS: A CONTEMPORARY INTRODUCTION, 11E. The text uses examples and illustrations that your students will recognize when they show up for class the first day, because they already have at least 17 years of personal experience with economic choices, institutions, and events. This book truly leads by example, taking a "just-in-time" approach that introduces material just as it is needed to develop an argument. Clear and interesting exposition combines with case studies, recent research findings, and a focused design. Relevant case studies are integrated into the flow of each chapter. Each chapter includes a one-page case study in the printed book as well as a second case study online. The book's well-crafted approach is enhanced with resources, such as Aplia® and MindTap®, that help improve student understanding and help you streamline tasks and save valuable time.

OVERARCHING THEME HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY IN ALL ASPECTS OF ECONOMIC LIFE. From Spotify or the price elasticity of e-books to smart apps for tracking fitness and nutrition or the effect of the Internet on labor productivity, this edition discusses how technological developments directly impact production, employment, sales, and consumption. EMPHASIS ON TODAY'S MOST RECENT RESEARCH REINFORCES KEY ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES. This edition draws on recent research to stimulate your students' interest, to reinforce economic principles, and, in a few cases, to offer an alternative perspective. The edition cites and discusses more than 150 studies published after the previous edition went to press. The author has selected these studies from his review of more than a thousand relevant publications. NEW TOPICS INTRODUCE FRESH MICROECONOMICS PERSPECTIVES. Students examine how some not-for-profit hospitals employ more people than some major corporations (Ch. 3) how easy online price comparisons have made demand more price sensitive (Ch. 5); and how strong brand loyalty even passes across family generations (Ch. 10).; They also study why labor unions have failed in high-tech industries (Ch. 12) and how developing economies present challenges for franchise operators, such as KFC (Ch. 33). NEW PROGRESSION GRAPHS ONLINE SOFTWARE HELPS CLARIFY UNDERSTANDING.

MCEACHERN LEADS BY EXAMPLE.
