description: "This book is about the application of the scientific approach to managerial decision making. Management science can be a tremendous aid to the manager faced with decisions. It can sort out the complex array of data, show what is relevant and what is not, focus on the lack of certain crucial information, provide an objective and consistent basis of choosing the best (or a good enough) solution, and even help quantify the manager's feelings and preferences for solution outcomes. In short, it can be used to make better decisions and improve the management of organizations."
