1. Introduction -- 2. Systems thinking -- 3. System concepts -- 4. The problem situation -- 5. Systems models and diagrams -- 6. Overview of hard OR methodology -- 7. Soft systems thinking -- 8. Implementation and code of ethics -- 9. Relevant costs and benefits -- 10. Discounted cash flows -- 11. Decision making over time -- 12. Marginal and incremental analysis -- 13. Constrained decision making -- 14. Multiple constraints : linear programming -- 15. Uncertainty -- 16. Waiting lines : stochastic systems -- 17. Simulation and system dynamics -- 18. Decision and risk analysis -- 19. Decisions with multiple objectives -- 20. Reflections on MS/OR.

Summary: Management Science provides a comprehensive, accessible overview of the subject, incorporating a wide and developing set of methodologies and tools. The authors explore both 'soft' and 'hard' approaches to decision making and highlight conceptual aspects rather than mathematical techniques or computer methods - as a result, the text is suitable for a wide range of mathematical abilities.
