 Great Book! February 10, 2010
N. Chan
This is a great book for an intro to management science, most of the book is focused on the use of linear programming (e.g. in network models) and explains the concepts very well. There are also plenty of examples and practice questions.
I would definitely recommend it for a university level course.
 Great Book December 25, 2009
Kyle M. Stevens
I had to purchase this book back in college. I found it interesting, but it was just another textbook and after the semester was over I ended up selling the book. Now, after being out of school for four or five years, I'm going to purchase the book again because the information in it is just so useful. For the last couple years when I've encountered certain problems I've thought back to this book... finally I'm just going to get another copy. Of all the textbooks over four years of college, this was definitely the most useful to me. I'm a computer programmer working with inventory and financial data, but I'm sure it would be useful for anyone with some knowledge of Excel who has the need to make any sort of numerical projection.
Slightly different than American version September 4, 2009
Chips (New Mexico)
Although the content seems to be the same, the order is different. The chapters are not the same as the American version; for example, ch. 17 (Simplex Methods) in American version is ch. 5 in international. The problems are also in different order. Keep this in mind when using or deciding to buy this version.
 OK Book March 7, 2009
Toast (USA)
I found this to be a tough topic but it was a school requirement. Alot of these concepts can probably be taught through computer software which can make the learning experience easier
Review October 29, 2008
M. Donahue
Book was still sealed in plastic in new condition exactly as described. I was a little dissapointed in the shipping speed. It was one day late with expedite shipping. Overall a good order.
