Summary: "We are very excited to publish the fourteenth edition of a text that has been a leader in the field for nearly 25 years. The purpose of this fourteenth edition, as with previous editions, is to provide undergraduate and graduate students with a sound conceptual understanding of the role that management science plays in the decision-making process. The text describes many of the applications where management science is used successfully. Former users of this text told us that the applications we describe have led them to find new ways to use management science in their organizations. An Introduction to Management Science: Quantitative Approaches to Decision Making, 14e is applications oriented and continues to use the problem-scenario approach that is a hallmark of every edition of the text. Using the problem-scenario approach, we describe a problem in conjunction with the management science model being introduced. The model is then solved to generate a solution and recommendation to management. We have found that this approach helps to motivate the student by demonstrating not only how the procedure works, but also how it contributes to the decision-making process." -- Provided by the publisher
