Description
For undergraduate/graduate level courses in Management Science, Quantitative Analysis, and Decision Models.
This best-selling text has long been considered one of the most student accessible texts for the management science course. The new edition retains and updates the traditional, comprehensive coverage of past editions but now adds spreadsheet-based problem solutions to most chapters of the text. In addition, the text is now packaged with free software.
