Editorial Review:
Appropriate for a one semester Soph/Jr/Sr/MBA level course in Management Science, Quantitative Methods for Business, or Operations Research. Appropriate for courses/approaches where professors want to use full-strength, specific commercial software. The authors use spreadsheets for simple modeling of each concept, but then move quickly into Lingo, Expert Choice, and Extend.

The "Search inside this book" feature was not available when this review was posted. For me it was a nice surprise to see the Analytic Hierarchy Process featured in this book, since it is not included in the vast majority of Management Science/Decision Making books I have read. See whether the topics below are what you are looking for.
