Abstract.In the present paper, we first establish, in Section 2, some decomposition theorems for rings and its subsets (see Theorem 2.1 and Theorem 2.2, for details). Secondly, in Section 3, certain nearrings satisfying one of the defined properties $(C)$ to $(C_{5})$, under appropriate conditions such nearrings are in fact shown to be commutative. Thirdly, in Section 4, it is proved that any nearring is decomposable into a direct sum of special sub nearrings and the Pierce-decomposition for rings is generalized. Finally, in Section 5, we provide some counterexamples which show that hypotheses of our theorems are not altogether superfluous.
