This textbook is designed for Filipino students taking up an undergraduate course in economics, whether in social sciences or business and management programs. It is titled Managerial Economics in the 21st Century to highlight that the textbook involves contemporary issues related to studying the subject matter. Various media have reported that economics has been a common topic among Filipinos, especially the youth, who perceive such a topic as a critical issue. However, researchers explained that Filipinos do not have a sufficient understanding of the state of our economy. This motivated the author to create a resource that would augment this awareness among the Filipinos and hopefully aid them in participating more in discussions, decisions, and actions toward a better economy.
