2.Use benefit-cost analysis to evaluate decisions.
3. Use marginal analysis to make extent (how much) decisions.
4. Make profitable investment and shut-down decisions.
5. Set optimal prices and price discriminate.
6. Predict industry-level changes using demand and supply analysis.
7. Understand the long-run forces that erode profitability.
8. Develop long-run strategies to increase firm value.
9. Predict how your own actions will influence other people’s actions.
10. Bargain effectively.
