Q2 Managerial economics is about the application of economic theory
and methods to business decision-making?
MANAGERIAL ECOCNOMIC
Managerial economics refers to the application of economic theory and the tools of analysis
of decision science to examine how an organization can achieve its aim or objective most
efficiently
Management decision need to be made in any organization –be it a firm, a not –for profit
organization (such as hospital or a university), or a government agency – when it seek to
achieve some goal or objective subject to some constraint
For example, a firm may seek to maximize profit subject to limitation on the availability of
essential inputs and in the face of legal constraints .A hospital may seek to treat as many
patients as possible at an “adequate” medical standard with its physical resources (physician,
technicians, nurses, equipment, beds) and budget. The goal of state university may be to
provide an adequate to many students as possible ,subject to physical and financial
constraints it faces.similarly,a government agency may seek to provide a particular service
(which cannot be provided as efficiently by business firm ) to as many people as possible at
the lowest possible cost .in all these cases, the organization face management decision
problem as it seeks to achieve its goal or objective ,subject to the constraints it faces .The
goals and constraint may differ from case to case, but the basic decisions –making process is
same.

As an approach to decision-making, managerial economics is related to economic theory,
decision sciences and business functions. These relationships are now discussed.
Economic theory:
The main branch of economic theory with which managerial economics is related is
microeconomics, which deals essentially with how markets work and interactions between
the various components of the economy. In particular, the following aspects of
microeconomic theory are relevant:
1. Theory of the firm
2. Theory of consumer behavior (demand)
3. Production and cost theory (supply)
4. Price theory
5. Market structure and competition theory
Decision science:
The decision sciences provide the tools and techniques of analysis used in managerial
economics. The most important aspects are as follows:
1. Numerical and algebraic analysis
2. Optimization
3. Statistical estimation and forecasting
4. Analysis of risk and uncertainty
5. Discounting and time-value-of-money techniques
Business function:
All firms consist of organizations that are divided structurally into different departments or
units, even if this is not necessarily performed on a formal basis. Typically the units involved
are:
1. Production and operations
2. Marketing
3. Finance and accounting
4. Human resources
In short managerial economics is not study of number of independent topics but the use of
economic theory management science, business function tool to examine how affirm can
archive its objective most efficiently within the business environment in which it operates.
