The text presents just the right amount of theory to ensure you understand the foundation of the topic, followed by exercises that give you practical, hands-on experience with the methodologies.

Drawing examples and problems from finance, marketing, operations management, and other areas, the text illustrates how management science applies to your chosen profession--and how you can use it on the job.

The authors emphasize modeling over algebraic formulations and memorization of particular models.

The text includes access to Palisade DecisionTools Suite (BigPicture, @RISK, PrecisionTree, StatTools, TopRank, NeuralTools, and Evolver) as well as SolverTable, which allows you to do sensitivity analysis on optimization models." --Provided by the publisher   aAdult   aDonation xOrtega, EricyCollege of Computer StudieszComputer Studies : Information System  aText in English   aElectronic spreadsheets.   aManagement science.   aManagement sciencexComputer simulation.   aManagement science xMathematical models.   aManagement science xSoftware.   aAlbright, S.
