Synopsis

Filling the gap in management education with a practical blend of administrative science and system dynamics.

This book argues that traditional management courses miss how organizations actually work. It presents a two-course sequence that uses simulation to show how structure, decisions, and policy choices interact in real firms. The goal is to give students a realistic feel for organizational decisionmaking and the design of enterprise processes.

- Learn why organizations differ from individuals in decisionmaking and how coordination really happens
- See how simulation models illuminate the effects of policy choices on production, inventory, labor, and strategy
- Discover a two-semester course plan that starts with administration principles and adds modeling language
- Understand how bounded rationality shapes structure and performance in manufacturing, marketing, and distribution

Ideal for students entering professional business programs, educators designing management curricula, and professionals who want a clearer view of how organizations behave and how to improve them.
