Management Science: The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets

This is an excellent step by step way to learn the many uses of the analytic package for Excel. It utilizes many examples to allow the user to understand the different uses of each tool. Do't look at this as a way to learn why you need to use things such as Net Present Value, or Internal Rate of Return, but rather how to use Excel to find them. This is more akin to a programming book than a management book and in that aspect it works well.

Great book and came in a very good condition for a rental

The book does talk somewhat about the theory of Management Science and decision modeling, but relies much too heavily on a $1000 Excel add-on to do the work. Much of the basic things can be done in Excel's built in Solver add-on, but the more sophisticated optimization, distribution and sensitivity analysis requires the more expensive add-on. If you are looking for a good textbook on theory, I would recommend looking somewhere else.

The cases in this book are very interesting. However, some questions required online research on accounting standards. It would be better if the book could provide student with resources for those accounting standards.

No problems .. good product.

Good book, but shipping took two weeks longer than it initially should have.

Great Condition!

Excellent book; arrived on time; in very good condition; met my expectations!
