INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ECONOMICS 3Introductory CaseletRECOVERY OF INDIA’S ECONOMYIn 2013, India was facing an economic crisis due to slow economicgrowth and high levels of inflation. There was a current accountdeficit in the country as the rupee was at its all-time low. On August 28, 2013, the value of the Indian rupee against the US dollarwas recorded 68.80, which was the lowest till date.During the first quarter (April-June) of the fiscal year 2013-14, theeconomy of India experienced a slow growth rate of 4.4%, the lowest in the previous four years. The revised forecast of economicgrowth rate of India by the World Bank for the year 2014 was 4.7%against the earlier estimate of 6.1%. In the opinion of economicexperts, Indian economy was going through the worst economiccrisis since 1991.India’s financial condition was going down as a result of the crisis.On September 04, 2013, Raghuram Rajan was appointed as the23rd governor of the RBI for a period of three years. His majorchallenge was to help the Indian economy rise above the economic crisis and bring it back on the path of growth.After his appointment as the RBI governor, the value of rupeestrengthened in the international market. Raghuram Rajan wasappreciated by economists and analysts who continued to keep astrict watch on economic strategies adopted by Rajan.NMIMS Global Access - School for Continuing Educationnotes

The main aim of economicsis to analyse how individuals, households, organisations, and nationsuse their scarce resources to achieve maximum profit. Economics isbroadly classified into two parts, namely microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics is a branch of economics that studies thebehaviour of individual consumers and organisations in the market.It focuses on the demand and supply, pricing, and output of individual organisations. On the other hand, macroeconomics examines theeconomy as a whole and deals with issues related to national income,employment pattern, inflation, recession, and economic growth.With the advent of globalisation and rise in competition, it is of paramount importance for managers to make rational decisions. For this,managers should have a clear understanding of different economicconcepts, theories, and tools. Business economics or managerialeconomics is a specialised discipline of economics that undertakes astudy of various economic theories, logics, and tools used in businessdecision making. It applies various economic concepts, such as demand and supply, competition, allocation of resources, and economictrade-offs, to help managers in making better decisions.In this unit, you will study the concept of economics, its nature, andscope. After that, you will study the concept and importance of business economics in detail.NMIMS Global Access - School for Continuing Education

INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ECONOMICS 5n1.2 MEANING OF ECONOMICSIn simple terms, economics can be defined as the study of how individuals, households, organisations, and nations make optimum utilisation of scarce resources to satisfy their wants and needs. The wordeconomics has originated from a Greek word oikonomikos, which canbe divided into two parts: oikos means home and nomos means management. Thus, in earlier times, economics was referred to as homemanagement where the head of a family managed the needs of familymembers from his limited income. However,over the years, the scopeof economics has broadened to society (that is referred to as home)and how it satisfies the needs of people by using limited resources.Defining economics has always been a controversial issue since timeimmemorial. Different economists have different viewpoints on economics. Some economists had a viewpoint that economics is a studyof money, while others believed that economics deals with problems,such as inflation and unemployment. Therefore, to simplify the concept, economics is defined by taking four viewpoints, which are listedin Figure 1.1:Wealth ViewpointWelfare ViewpointScarcity ViewpointGrowth ViewpointFigure 1.1: Different Viewpoints on EconomicsLet us study these viewpoints in detail. Wealth viewpoint: This is a classical viewpoint on economics thatwas given by Adam Smith, who is also considered as the father ofmodern economics. According to him, Economics is “the study ofthe nature and causes of nations’ wealth or simply as the study ofwealth.” He stated that the main purpose of all economic activitiesis to gain maximum wealth as possible. In Smith’s view, the citizens of wealthy nations are happy; thus, economics shows nationsto be wealthy. Welfare viewpoint: It is a neo-classical viewpoint on economicsthat was given by Alfred Marshall. According to Alfred Marshall,“Economics is a study of man in the ordinary business of life. It enquires how he gets his income and how he uses it. Thus, it is on theone side, the study of wealth and on the other and more importantside, a part of the study of man.” He associated economics with thewelfare of men, who are responsible for generating wealth.NMIMS Global Access - School for Continuing Educationotes

6Business Economicsnotes Scarcity viewpoint: It is a pre-Keynesian thought of economicsthat was given by Lionel Robins in his book ‘Essays on the Nature and Significance of the Economic Science’ (1932). Accordingto Robins, “Economics is a science which studies human behaviouras a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses”. The definition focused on human behaviour in theoptimum utilisation of scarce resources. It provides three basicfeatures of human existence, which are unlimited wants, limitedresources, and alternative uses of limited resources Growth viewpoint: This is the modern perspective of economicsmainly given by Paul Samuelson. He provided the growth-oriented definition of economics. According to him, “Economics isa study of how men and society choose with or without the useof money, to employ scarce productive uses resource which couldhave alternative uses, to produce various commodities over timeand distribute them for consumption, now and in the future amongthe various people and groups of society.” The definition outlinesthree main aspects, namely human behaviour, allocation of resources, and alternative uses of resources. Some other importantgrowth-centred definitions are:According to J.M. Keynes, Economics is defined as “the study of theadministration of scarce resources and of the determinants of incomeand employment.”In Benham’s words, economics is “a study of the factors affecting thesize, distribution, and stability of a country’s national income.”1.2.1 SCOPE OF ECONOMICSEarlier, the scope of economics was limited to the utilisation of scarceresources to meet needs and wants of people and society. However,over the years, the scope of economics has been broadened to manyareas, which are shown in Figure 1.2:International ArenaPublic FinanceWelfareHealthEnvironmental StudiesUrban and Rural DevelopmentFigure 1.2: Scope of EconomicsNMIMS Global Access - School for Continuing Education

INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ECONOMICS 7nLet us study about the scope in detail. International arena: With the advent of globalisation andcross-border integration, economic concepts are applied in orderto conduct successful business dealings between countries. Economic concepts can be used in areas, such as foreign trade (exports and imports), foreign exchange (trading currency), balanceof payments, and balance of trade. Public finance: Economic concepts are also applied to assess thegovernment’s collection of taxes from the users of public goods aswell as expenditure on production and distribution of these goodsto the general public. Welfare: Economic theories and concepts are used to analyse thegrowth and development of low-income countries. This helps inimproving the living standard of people in less developed and developing societies by understanding their needs for various facilities and utilities, such as health and education facilities and goodworking conditions. Health: Economic concepts are also applicable in assessing theproblems faced in promoting health in different countries. Theseconcepts help the government in making decisions for defining appropriate health packages and programs for the general public. Environmental studies: Economic concepts are used to analysethe utilisation and depletion of natural resources. Moreover, theyare applied to study the impact of increasing ecological imbalanceon society. Urban and rural development: In urban development, the scopeof economics covers the analysis of different urban issues such ascrime, education, public transit, housing, and local government finance. On the other hand, in rural development, economics canbe used to analyse the shortage of natural resources, obtain thebest price for production, study constraints of productivity, adaptto climate change, etc.1.2.2 NATURE OF ECONOMICSSimilar to definitions of economics, there are a number of controversial issues related to its nature. Some economists believe economicsas a science, while others have a notion that economics is a social science. Let us now understand the true nature of economics. Economics as a science: Science is a branch of knowledge thatdefines the relationship between cause and effect. As results observed in science are measurable and based on facts, economicsalso endeavours to find a relationship between cause and effectand provides measurable results. Similar to science, in economics,emphasis is laid on collecting relevant information, which is categorised and analysed to reach conclusions.NMIMS Global Access - School for Continuing Educationotes

8Business Economicsnotes Economics as a social science: Economics is also considered associal science as it deals with studying the behaviour of humanbeings and their relationships in a society. This is because the exchange of goods takes place within the society and among different societies to satisfy the needs and wants of people. Economics is an art: Art is a branch of study that deals with ex-pressing or applying the creative skills and imagination of humansto perform a certain activity. Similarly, economics also requireshuman imagination for the practical application of scientific laws,principles, and theories to perform a particular activity.1.2.3ASSUMPTIONS IN ECONOMICSIn economics, there are certain assumptions about an economic situation to be happened in the future. Nations often make certain assumptions about how the economic environment would be at a certain timeperiod.Economists use assumptions to break down complex economic processes and advocate different theories to understand economic variables. There are three important assumptions in economics,which are discussed as follows: Consumers have rational preferences: This assumption statesthat consumers act in a rational manner and focus on satisfyingtheir needs. It is also assumed that the tastes of consumers remainconstant for a long period. For instance, a consumer who is vegetarian may not change his/her preferences in the near future. Existence of perfect competition: According to this assumption,there is perfect competition in an economy, wherein there are numerous buyers and sellers. It is assumed that homogenous products exist in the market and both buyers and sellers cannot affectprices. Existence of equilibrium: As per this assumption, equilibriumexists wherein both consumers and entrepreneurs achieve maximum satisfaction. In a market, there can be two types of equilibrium: industry equilibrium and firm’s equilibrium. An industry isat equilibrium if profits achieved are normal. On the other hand, afirm is at the state of equilibrium if its profits are maximum.self assessment Questions1. Which one of the following does not fall under the scope ofeconomics?a.

These problems require careful analysis and thoughtful consideration. For example, organisationsare always concerned with producing maximumoutput in the most economical way. To solve problems of such nature,managers are required to apply various economic concepts and theories. The application of economic concepts, theories, and tools inbusiness decision making is called business economics or managerialeconomics.Different philosophers have defined business economics or managerial economics differently. The following are some popular definitionsof business economics:According to Mansfield, “Managerial economics is concerned with theapplication of economic concepts and economics to the problems of formulating rational decision making”In the words of Spencer and Seigelman, “Managerial Economics isthe integration of economic theory with business practice for the purposeof facilitating decision making and forward planning by management.”According to Douglas, “Managerial economics is concerned with theapplication of economic principles and methodologies to the decisionmaking process within the firm or organization. It seeks to establishrules and principles to facilitate the attainment of the desired economicgoals of management”.According to Davis and Chang, “Managerial economics applies theprinciples and methods of economics to analyze problems faced by management of a business, or other types of organizations and to help findsolutions that advance the best interests of such organization.”From the aforementioned definitions, it can be concluded that managerial economics is a link between two disciplines, which are management and economics. The management discipline focuses on anumber of principles that aid the decision-making process of organisations. On the other hand, economics is related to an optimum allocation of limited resources for attaining the set objectives of organisations. Therefore, it can be said that managerial economics is a specialdiscipline of economics that can be applied in business decision making of organisations.NMIMS Global Access - School for Continuing Educationotes

10Business Economicsnotes1.3.1 SCOPE OF BUSINESS ECONOMICSBusiness economics involves the application of various economic tools,theories, and methodologies for analysingand solving different business problems. These business problems can be related to demandand supply prospects of an organisation, level of production, pricing,market structure, and degree of competition. Figure 1.3 shows thescope of business economics:Demand analysis and forecastingCost and benefit analysis (CBA)Pricing decisions, policies, and practicesProfit maximisationCapital managementFigure 1.3: Scope of Business EconomicsLet us discuss the scope of business economics in detail. Demand analysis and forecasting: Demand refers to the willing-ness or capability of individuals to buy a product at a specific price.Demand analysis is a process of identifying potential consumers,the amount of goods they want to purchase, and the price they arewilling to pay for it. This process is important for an organisationto analyse the demand for its products and produce accordingly.In business economics, demand forecasting occupies an importantplace by helping organisations in business planning and decidingon strategic issues. Cost and benefit analysis (CBA): By analysing costs, manage-ment can estimate costs required for running the organisationsuccessfully. Cost analysis helps firms in determining hidden anduncontrollable costs and taking measures for effective cost control. It further enables the organisation to determine the return oninvestment (ROI). In a nutshell, CBA is a process of comparing thecosts and benefits of a particular project or activity. Business economics involves various aspects of cost and benefit analysis, suchas cost-output relationships and cost control. Pricing decisions, policies, and practices: Pricing is one of the keyareas of business economics. It is a process of finding the value ofa product or service that an organisation receives in exchange forits product/service. The profit of an organisation depends a greatdeal on its pricing strategies and policies. Business economics includes various pricing-related concepts, such as pricing methods,product-line pricing, and price forecasting.NMIMS Global Access - School for Continuing Education

INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ECONOMICS 11n Profit maximisation: Profit generation and maximisation is themain aim of every organisation (except for non-profit organisations). In order to maximise profit, organisations need to havecomplete knowledge about various economic concepts, such asprofit policies and techniques, and break-even analysis. Capital management: Organisations often find it difficult to makedecisions related to capital investment. These decisions requiresound knowledge and expertise on various economic aspects. Tomake sound capital investment decisions, an organisation needsto determine various aspects, such as cost of capital and rate ofreturn.1.3.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF BUSINESS ECONOMICSAs discussed earlier, business economics plays an important role indecision making in an organisation. Decision making is a process ofselecting the best course of action from the available alternatives. Inorder to make sound decisions; managers must have in-depth knowledge of economic concepts, theories, and tools. The following pointsexplain the importance of business economics: Business economics covers various important concepts, such asdemand and supply analysis; short and long-run costs; and marginal utility. These concepts support managers in identifying andanalysing problems and finding solutions. It helps managers to identify and analyse various internal and ex-ternal business factors and their impact on the functioning of theorganisation. Business economics helps managers in framing various policies,such as pricing policies and cost policies, on the basis of economicstudy and findings. By studying various economic variables, such as cost productionand business capital, organisations can predict the future. Business economics helps in establishing relationships betweendifferent economic factors, such as income, profits, losses, andmarket structure. This helps in guiding managers in effective decision making and running the organisation.self assessment Questions3. is a process of identifying potential consumers,the amount of goods they want to purchase, and the price theyare willing to pay for it4.

As discussed earlier, economics is a study of humanbehaviour in making decisions related to the allocation of resources.Business economics, on the other hand, deals with managerial decision making in organisations. The following points distinguish between economics and business economics: Economics is a traditional subject that has prevailed from a longtime, while business economics is a modern concept and is stilldeveloping. Economics mainly covers theoretical aspects, whereas businesseconomics covers practical aspects. In economics, the problems of individuals and societies are stud-ied. On the other hand, in business economics, the main area ofstudy is the problems of organisations. In economics, only economic factors are considered, whereas botheconomic and no-economic factors are considered in businesseconomics. Both microeconomics and macroeconomics fall under the scopeof economics. On the other hand, only microeconomics falls underthe scope of business economics. Economics has a wider scope and covers the economic issues ofnations, whereas business economics is a part of economics and islimited to the economic problems of organisations.Thus, it can be stated that economics is a wide concept that can beapplied to various fields, whereas business economics is a narrow approach that can be applied in selected areas.self assessment Questions5.

INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS ECONOMICS 13n1.5MICROECONOMICS ANDMACROECONOMICSAs mentioned earlier, economics has a wide scope and involves several concepts, which cannot be studied under a single discipline. Therefore, it is classified into two branches, namely, microeconomics andmacroeconomics. Microeconomics deals with the economic problemsof a single industry or organisation, while macroeconomics deals withthe problems of an economy as a whole. Both of these branches contribute a major part in business analysis and decision-making directlyor indirectly. Let us discuss two branches of economics in detail asfollows: Microeconomics: It is a branch of economics that deals with thestudy of economic behaviour of individual organisations or consumers in an economy. Moreover, microeconomics focuses on thesupply and demand patterns and price and output determinationof individual markets.Microeconomics lays emphasis on decisions related to the selection of resources, the amount of output to be produced, and theprice of products of an organisation. Thus, it can be said that thefocus of microeconomics is always at individual level. The importance of studying microeconomics is explained as follows: Microeconomics helps in understanding the mechanism of in-dividual markets. It suggests ways for making full utilisation of resources. It facilitates the formation of economic models that can be fur-ther be used to understand the real economic phenomenon. Macroeconomics: It is a branch of economics that mainly dealswith the economic behaviour of various units combined together.Macroeconomics focuses on the growth of an economy as a wholeby undertaking the study of various economic aggregates, such asaggregate supply and demand, changes in employment, gross domestic product (GDP), overall price levels, and inflation. The following points explain the importance of macroeconomics: Macroeconomics helps in understanding the functioning of aneconomic system and provides a better view of world’s economy. It enables nations to formulate various economic policies. It helps economists in finding solutions to economic problemsby providing various economic theories. It helps in bringing stability in prices by supporting detailedanalysis of fluctuations in business activities. It helps in identifying the causes of the shortage in the balanceof payment and determining remedial measures.NMIMS Global Access - School for Continuing Educationotes

In economics,there are two basic laws, which are shown in Figure 1.4:Laws ofEconomicsLow ofDemandLaw ofSupplyFigure 1.4: Laws of EconomicsLet us discuss these two laws in detail. Law of demand: This is one o
