MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS As per new syllabus for fifth semester, B A Davanagere University

Managerial Economics is indeed an off-shoot of the Second World War. Before the outbreak of this war, the study of economics was purely an academic exercise, while business was a pure practice based on common practical sense of human mind. The Second World War created a tremendous pressure on scarce economic resources of the world. Thus, the need for optimum utilization of resources intensified further, which ultimately gave birth to a new discipline popularly known as Managerial Economics.
