520 _aManagement 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.
