Download or read book Introduction to Management Science written by Frederick Stanton Hillier and published by . This book was released on 2004-01 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Management Science, 2e offers a unique case study approach and integrates the use of Excel. Each chapter includes a case study that is meant to show the students a real and interesting application of the topics addressed in that chapter. This most recent revision has been thoroughly updated to be more "user-friendly" and more technologically advanced. These changes include, a completely new chapter on the art of modeling with spreadsheets. This unique chapter goes far beyond anything found in other textbooks and are based on the award winning methodologies used by Mark Hillier in his own course. The technology package has also been greatly enhanced to include, Crystal Ball 2000 (Professional Edition) a Management Science Online Learning Center, and an Excel add-in called Alver Table for performing sensitivity analysis. Crystal Ball is the most popular Excel add-in for computer simulation and includes OptQuest (an optimizer with simulation) as well as a forecasting module. The Management Science Online Learning Center (website) includes several modules that enable students to interactively explore certain management science techniques in depth. Solver Table is an Excel add-in developed by the author to help perform sensitivity analysis systematically, as well as substantially expanded coverage of computer simulation, including Crystal Ball. We now have two chapters on computer simulation instead of one, where the second chapter features the use of Crystal Ball.all.

Download or read book Management Science in Fisheries written by Charles T.T. Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key goal of fisheries management is to regulate extractive pressure on a resource so as to ensure social, economic and ecological sustainability. This text provides an accessible entry point for students and professionals to management science as developed in fisheries, in order to facilitate uptake of the latest ideas and methods. Traditional management approaches have relied upon a stock assessment based on existing understanding of resource status and dynamics, and a prediction of the likely future response to a static management proposal. However all such predictions include an inherent degree of uncertainty, and the last few decades have seen the emergence of an adaptive approach that uses feedback control to account for unknown future behaviour. Feedback is achieved via a control rule, which defines a relationship between perceived status of the resource and a management action. Evaluations of such rules usually include computer simulation testing across a broad range of uncertainties, so that an appropriate and robust rule can be selected by stakeholders and managers. The book focuses on this approach, which is usually referred to as Management Strategy Evaluation. The book is enriched by case study examples from different parts of the world, as well as insights into the theory and practice from those actively involved in the science of fisheries management.
Download or read book Introduction to Management Science written by Wolfgang Garn and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Businesses have to cut costs, increase revenue and be profitable. The aim of this book is to introduce Management Science to analyse business challenges and to find solutions analytically. Important topics in modelling, optimisation and probability are covered. These include: linear and integer programming, network flows and transportation; essential statistics, queueing systems and inventory models. The overall objectives are: to enable the reader to increase the efficiency and productivity of businesses; to observe and define challenges in a concise, precise and logical manner; to be familiar with a number of classical and state-of-the art operational research techniques and tools; to devise solutions, algorithms and methods that offer competitive advantage to businesses and organisations; and to provide results to management for decision making and implementation. Numerous examples and problems with solutions are given to demonstrate how these concepts can be applied in a business context.

Download or read book An Introduction to Critical Management Research written by Mihaela L Kelemen and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `This book offers a lively and readable account of how scholars and students might engage with some of the more unusual critical theories associated with the critical management research project. Supported by a wealth of empirical and theoretical material, this book will introduce readers to the complex issues surrounding how to carry out critical management research rather than simply providing prescriptive answers′ - Heather Höpfl, University of Essex `Kelemen and Rumens have done management scholars a great service in reviewing a huge amount of disparate knowledge and compressing it into a succinct, lively and provocative book on the current state of Critical Management Studies. This is a "must-read" for those both inside and outside CMS′ - Keith Grint, Cranfield University `Management is a critical term for contemporary politics, but getting to grips with managerialism requires research methods that can deal with contemporary and controversial topics. This book provides the tools for that project, and will be invaluable for scholars and students who wish to challenge the conservatism of management academy at the present time′ - Martin Parker, University of Leicester Why have certain theories shaped management research? Where do research theory and practice meet, if at all? To ask these questions is to think critically about management research. Mihaela L Kelemen and Nick Rumens explore the fundamentals of critical management theory and their influences on management research, and in doing so offer the student an illuminating introduction to what is often a disparate and complex array of issues. 10 expressive chapters examine theoretical foundations, including those most often sidelined in mainstream management theory; from postmodernism and deconstruction to American pragmatism, along with methodological choices and the intellectual issues each of these presents. Also provided is a timely consideration to the consequences and ethical concerns now inherent to any research issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text's emphasis is on presenting management science in a manner that is managerially focused and easily understood by students. This is done in part by using easy to understand examples demonstrating each technique in understandable contexts. The text is application oriented dealing with realistic problems emphasizing model formulation, computer-based solution, and implementation of model results. The text uses models related to managerial application are used to demonstrate management science techniques. Techniques are illustrated by examples placed in a decision-making context. Model use is demonstrated by computer without being tied to specific computer systems.The text presents a comprehensive yet easily readable coverage of all important management science techniques. It also includes additional topics such as: (1) coverage of nonlinear programming, (2) coverage of analytic hierarchy process, (3) coverage of linear programming sensitivity analysis in a managerial context, (4) a decision support perspective toward management science is emphasized, aiming to support decision-makers by learning about the impact of alternative decisions.
