Definition of Managerial Economics

According to McNair and Meriam, "Managerial Economics consists of the use of economic modes of thought to analyse business situation."
Spencer and Siegelman have defined Managerial Economics as "The integration of economic theory with business practice for the purpose of facilitating decision making and forward planning by management."
We may, therefore define Managerial Economics as the discipline which deals with the application of economic theory to business management. Managerial Economics thus lies on the borderline between economics and business management and serves as a bridge between economics and business management.
