Early traders dealt with competition on a relatively smaller scale as we do today. Most businesses were run mainly on the business acumen and knowledge of the trader without much study about the theories that ruled the world of business. While Economics has existed as a branch of knowledge since the ancient era, managerial economics is an emerging branch of economics which integrates business theories with practical business applications. In early days when business was less competitive, the application of economics to business was not considered to be important. But with the considerable amount of changes in the business landscape, and the cut-throat competition that dominates every aspect of business makes it important for business leaders in today’s world to understand economic theories and apply it prudently to the business to ensure steady growth and profits and to achieve the desired business goals.
