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.

Store description
Shadow Books sells all manner of second-hand, out of print and rare books; but not
popular paperback fiction. If we have a speciality, it is a broad academic one
embracing the humanities fields of history, politics, classic literature, art
history, media, history of ideas. We pride ourselves on setting our prices -
quality for quality - at the low end of the range, on the scrupulous way we
describe our books, on the rapidity with which we dispatch orders, and on our
prompt and friendly response to customers and their queries.
