About this title

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."

Review

"This adaptation conveys information easier to my students by using local culture, places and units. These changes have been carefully made to make sure that readers can easily apply what they have learnt to real-life problems. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to other lecturers in Arabic Gulf."
