I believe the answer is:

cut

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'economy' is the first definition.
(both can mean a cost-saving measure)

'measure required by executives?' is the second definition.
'cut' can be an answer for 'measure' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'required by executives?' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cut that I've seen before include "what hackers do" , "reduced" , "Sever - hurt - snub" , "Slash" , "Shorten; (one's) share" .)
