Decision or managerial economics is the application of economic arguments to the problems of business management decision makimg. For example, The Journal of Managerial and Decision Economics defines its aim to l publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision making. Compared to other journals in economics, the focus of this journal is more normative than positive and the viewpoint is focused on managerial efficiency rather than on social welfare. Articles are welcomed from economists and others using economic reasoning in analyzing business problems. The journal will publish articles from all of the functional areas of economics, as long as these articles are useful for managerial decision making, and from all the functional areas of business, so long as the articles use economic reasoning. Some examples: Articles in law and economics may use economic insights to discuss ways in which firms can respond to legal problems. Discussions of regulation or of public choice may highlight ways in which firms can influence or adapt to government regulation. Articles on public finance will emphasize reactions of firms to issues of taxation. Consumer theory may be applied to marketing decisions. Articles may stress ways in which firms can better adapt to labor markets and may provide economic bases for personnel policies. Analyses of industrial organization problems may suggest strategic policies for firms. Economics may be used to analyze accounting issues. Economics may be used to explain the existence and structure of organizations. The Learning and Teaching Support Network web page has a useful short course and a very good set of references at http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/pdf/2128-240-en.pdf |

Hello partha Decision making is usually regarded as the most important skill to be learned in economics. You might find it worthwhile to look at some of the books in the reading list for the course in Political and Economic Decision Making at Portland State University at the following link: http://www.upa.pdx.edu/USP/syllabi/usp636.html Hope this helps |
