field of psychology and public policy. The field of study
known as behavioral economics initially began as a purely
academic attempt at modeling irrational consumer choices,
thereby challenging the notion of the rational consumer of
traditional economics. Management functions in 21st century
workplaces have witnessed the paradigm shift in the decision
making. According to Richard Thaler (Nobel Memorial Prize
winner), Economic Sciences is a nudge for marketers to learn
about behavioral economics. His work explains how can
marketers nudge quick-thinking, short-attention consumers?
This article seeks to examine and explain the difference which
