Il testo presenta molteplici caratteristiche innovative nel panorama della letteratura di settore: analizza la materia basandosi sul moderno approccio all'economia industriale e utilizza, in modo intelligente, gli strumenti della teoria dei giochi. Al tempo stesso, fornisce un quadro generale comprendente prospettive differenti e offre una visione storica dei metodi di analisi utilizzati in economia industriale. Gli argomenti sono sistematicamente spiegati con il dovuto livello di astrazione e generalità propri dell'analisi economica e sono arricchiti da numerosi esempi tratti dall'economia reale. Si tratta di brevi casi di studio che stimolano il lettore a "guardarsi attorno" verificando quanto sia importante conoscere il funzionamento dei mercati e il comportamento delle imprese; in questa nuova edizione, tali casi sono stati trasversalmente aggiornati. Infine, in questa seconda edizione è stato evidenziato trasversalmente a tutto il testo il tema rilevante delle politiche per la concorrenza, illustrato ogniqualvolta l'analisi economica si riferisca a temi di rilevanza in materia di antitrust; questo tema è stato ulteriormente e più diffusamente approfondito in un capitolo specifico, introdotto ex novo.
