Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perform internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve. They can help managers cope with the complexities and uncertainties of a dynamic competitive environment. Compared to other journals in economics, the focus of this journal is more normative than positive and the viewpoint is focused on managerial efficiency and firm profitability rather than on social welfare. Articles are welcomed from economists,strategists, and others using economic reasoning in analyzing business problems. The journal is open to a variety of economic theoretical perspectives, including transaction cost theory, evolutionary theory, resource-based theory, agency theory, game theory, and behavioral decision theory.

《管理與決策經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)》將發(fā)表文章，將經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)推理應(yīng)用于管理決策和管理戰(zhàn)略。管理策略關(guān)注的是管理者面對(duì)的關(guān)于如何競(jìng)爭(zhēng)、如何成功以及如何組織以實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的實(shí)際決策。經(jīng)濟(jì)思維和分析為跨多個(gè)維度的戰(zhàn)略決策提供了重要的基礎(chǔ)。例如，經(jīng)濟(jì)見(jiàn)解可能有助于確定哪些活動(dòng)需要外包，哪些活動(dòng)需要在內(nèi)部執(zhí)行。它們可以幫助解開(kāi)關(guān)于是什么驅(qū)動(dòng)了公司之間的績(jī)效差異，以及是什么讓這些差異持續(xù)存在的問(wèn)題。它們可以幫助您了解行業(yè)、組織和能力是如何發(fā)展的。它們可以幫助管理者應(yīng)對(duì)動(dòng)態(tài)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)環(huán)境的復(fù)雜性和不確定性。與其他經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)期刊相比，該期刊的關(guān)注焦點(diǎn)更多的是規(guī)范而非實(shí)證，關(guān)注的是管理效率和企業(yè)盈利能力，而不是社會(huì)福利。歡迎經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家、戰(zhàn)略家和其他使用經(jīng)濟(jì)推理分析商業(yè)問(wèn)題的人發(fā)表文章。該期刊開(kāi)放多種經(jīng)濟(jì)理論視角，包括交易成本理論、進(jìn)化理論、資源基礎(chǔ)理論、代理理論、博弈論和行為決策理論。
