Review
"Based on my teaching experience, this textbook is excellent. The authors have done a marvellous job addressing all key topics in a very clear and coherent manner. The internationally diverse examples are a welcome addition, making it more friendly for my students; they no longer have to think about Management Science from a purely US perspective."
