Managerial Decision Modeling With Spreadsheets

Balakrishnan, Nagraj

Education & Reference

Filling a void for a balanced approach to spreadsheet based decision modeling, this volume builds on the traditions and strengths of Render and Stair's Quantitative Methods for Management, a recognized and proven leader in teaching decision modeling. In addition to using spreadsheets as a tool to quickly set up and solve decision models, the authors teach how and why the methods work and combine the user's power to logically model and analyze diverse decision-making scenarios with software-based solutions. The book discusses the fundamental concepts, assumptions and limitations behind each decision modeling technique, shows how each decision model works and illustrates the real-world usefulness of each technique with many applications from both profit and nonprofit organizations. The authors provide an introduction to managerial decision modeling, linear programming models, modeling applications and sensitivity analysis, transportation, assignment, and network models, integer, goal, and nonlinear programming models, project management, decision theory, queuing models, simulation modeling, forecasting models and inventory control models. For anyone looking for a balanced approach to spreadsheet based decision modeling.

Fully integrated with the personal computer, this easy-to-use text provides students with the skills to apply the techniques of quantitative analysis in all kinds of organizational decision-making situations. Designed for optimum teaching flexibility, it covers every major topic in the quantitative analysis/management science field, showing how each technique works, discussing the assumptions and limitations of the models, and illustrating the real-world usefulness of each technique with many applications in both profit-making and nonprofit organizations. Dramatically revised, the Sixth Edition now offers a completely new look and feel to make teaching more efficient and enhance students' learning experience.
