If a modest price increase has little no no effect on the demand it means that the product is inelastic. Inelastic goods are those that people will need no matter what the price is, such as most medications, and food as a whole (not specific brands).

Elastic goods are defined as goods were the demand fluctuates as the price fluctuates. These are different brands of foods (If Dole starts to charge more for apple juice consumers will switch to Tropicana Orange Juice.)

How elasticity of demand effect managerial decisions?

Elasticity of demand measures how much demand for a product will change if the price of that product is changed. Something highly elastic will be greatly affected by price changes (something like a hotdog for example, if a vendor raises his price then demand will drop because people can go elsewhere-demand is elastic). So management must be aware of how consumers will react to price changes. Normally, lowering the price of a good will bring in more customers if the demand for that good is elastic. If it is inelastic, then a lower price will not increase demand much.
