A reader - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introductory Management Science : Decision Modeling With Spreadsheets (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I use this book for my "Quantitative Methods for Decision Making" class and there is some involvement of mathematics. But it is just easy to understand and to use. Also the methods used here are really sort of fundamental and important. I recommend this book for those who really hate deep mathematical involvement in management science.

4.0 out of 5 stars Introductory management science, June 20, 2000

This review is from: Introductory Management Science : Decision Modeling With Spreadsheets (with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

This book focus mainly on spreadsheet techniques for quantitative analysis. Though it provides several interesting topics, it maybe organize and add more issues of real world. It should also provide some basic concepts such as the simplex method of linear programming. It should also emphasize on the objectives of studying every quantitative techniques (maybe present as flowchart) before reading each chapter.
