How is marginal and differential costing used as a tool for decision making?

The Marginal or differential accounting has the basic rule that this accounting method donot consider decisions made previously and only considers the decisions effecting the future so only that information is used for future decision making which is going to effect or change the future decisions and don't considers the decisions made before. So past information is not relevent for future decision making and this is also the main rule which is used by this accounting method if we use other accounting methods like absorption costing for decision making in the end there is a chance to make wrong decisions.
