Book Reviews of An Introduction to Management Science: Quantitative Approaches to Decision Making (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac?) (Introduction to Management Science)
Book Review: Worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased this book for a graduate-level class. One of the class professors voiced that she uses this book at least weekly in her career (outside of the college) as a project manager for a large construction outfit. I've thumbed through the book and I must say that it covers an unbelievable amount of subject-related matter with examples spanning several areas: banking & finance, distribution & transportation, inventory, marketing, et al. The approaches covered are vast and among others, included are areas such as breakeven analysis, linear programming (normal & simplex), game theory, nonlinear optimization problems, project scheduling with PERT/CRM, waiting line models, forecasting, Markov processes, and dynamic programming. I am looking forward to learning a lot with this book as my companion. Just as the professor finds herself using it frequently, I certainly think I'll be referring to it for quite some time. Don't let the price scare you. There's a lot of knowledge packed into its 816 pages. It's well worth the investment!
