Managerial Economics is an amalgamation of economic theory and business practices to facilitate decision-making and future planning. Managerial Economics helps managers solve the problems that arise in their firm's operations. It uses economic theory and concepts. It assists in making logical managerial decisions.
Managerial Economics' key ingredient is its micro-economic theory. It reduces the gap between theory and practice in economics. Managerial Economics deals with the efficient use of scarce resources. It assists managers in making decisions about the company's customers, competitors, suppliers, and internal operations. It uses statistical and analytical tools in order to evaluate economic theories for solving practical business problems.
Management Economics can be used to enhance analytical skills and help in the rational configuration and solution of problems. Microeconomics studies decisions regarding pricing and allocation of resources for goods and services. Macroeconomics, however, is the area of economics that studies how the economy behaves as a whole. Across entire industries and economies. Managerial Economics uses micro-economic tools for business decisions. It deals with a company.
Managerial Economics can be used by any organization or profit-making firm. It can also be used in non-profit organizations such as hospitals and educational institutions. It allows for optimal utilization of limited resources and helps to achieve the desired goals. Managerial Economics can be of great assistance in price analysis, production analysis capital budgeting, risk analysis, and determination of the demand.
Managerial Economics uses both Economic Theory and Econometrics to support rational managerial decision-making. Econometrics refers to the use of statistical tools to evaluate economic theories through empirically measuring the relationship between economic variables. It relies on factual data to solve economic problems. Managerial Economics can be referred to as the economic theory "Theory of Firm". The theory of firm states that the firm's primary goal is to maximize its wealth. Management economics involves the establishment of firm objectives, identification and resolution of problems, creation of alternative solutions, selection of the best solution, and implementation.
Below is a list of the main ways Managerial Economics can be correlated to managerial decision-making.
Managerial Economics focuses on allocating scarce resources in a way that minimizes costs. Managerial Economics differs from macroeconomics and microeconomics, as we've already mentioned.
Managerial Economics is narrower. It is actually solving managerial problems using micro-economics. Managerial economics is a way for managers to make efficient and effective decisions about customers, suppliers, competitors, and within their organization when there are limited resources. Three fundamental questions arise from the fact that resources are scarce.
What should I produce?
How do you produce?
Whom to produce?
The first question concerns which goods and services should be produced , and what quantities. This is decided by managers using demand theory. Demand theory analyzes the consumer's behaviour in relation to their future purchases and future purchases. It also examines the factors that influence purchase and consumption of specific goods and services. The impact of changes in these factors on demand for the product. Managers use demand forecasting methods to determine the quantity of goods or services that will be produced.
The second question concerns how to make goods and services. Now the firm must choose from different production methods. The firm must make decisions about purchasing raw materials, capital equipments, and manpower. Managers can use a variety of managerial economics tools, such as production cost analysis (for hiring or acquiring inputs), project appraisal methods (for long-term investment decisions), etc. to make these critical decisions.
The third question concerns who should claim and consume the goods and/or services that the firm produces. For example, the firm must determine which niche market it is - domestic or foreign. It must segment the market. It must analyze the market structure thoroughly and make price and output decisions based on the type of market.
Because it requires logical thinking, managerial economics can help with decision-making. Managers can also learn simple models to deal with more complicated and practical situations. A general approach can also be used.
Managerial Economics focuses on a larger picture of a firm. It asks questions like what is a company, what its objectives are, and what forces drive the firm to profit. Managerial economics focuses on the firm and the decisions that are made about individual firms as well as the environment in which they operate. It addresses key issues like what market conditions favor entry or exit of firms, and why certain jobs are more lucrative than others. Managerial Economics can be a very rational and analytical tool.
Managerial Economics can be applied to both profit-making businesses and non-profit organizations like hospitals, schools, government agencies, and others.
