and Traditional Economics
by Monisha Agarwal
Managerial Economics has been described as economics applied to decision-making. It may be

the improvement of efficiency of the business firm; but in Economics it is not so.
9. The scope of Managerial Economics is limited and not so wide as that of Economics.
Thus, it is obvious that Managerial Economics is very closely related to Economics but its scope is
