Introduction to Management Science gives students a strong foundation in how to make decisions and solve complex problems using both quantitative methods and software tools. In addition to extensive examples, problem sets, and cases, the 13th Edition incorporates Excel 2016 and other software resources, developing students' ability to leverage the technology they will use throughout their careers. By practicing these modelling techniques, students gain a useful framework for problem-solving that they can then apply in the workplace.
