Tools for Thinking - Modelling in Management Science
Tools for Thinking - Modelling in Management Science

Management science bridging hard and soft methods.

If you're navigating the complexities of management science, "Tools For Thinking" could offer you a fresh perspective. This book isn't about throwing equations at you; it's about modeling as a discipline that combines the structured with the intuitive. It's the kind of read that might change the way you approach problem-solving in business, by appreciating both the rigor of hard data and the flexibility of softer, strategic thinking.

Description

This book explores the development and use of explicit models in management science, bridging the gap between "hard" and "soft" OR/MS. It emphasizes modelling rather than mathematics and places management science within a framework which is defensible in the face of attacks on rational methods in business. It discusses soft OR/MS and hard OR/MS and then compares the two. Written in a non-technical style, providing an excellent introduction to the field.
