Management Science

First Edition. The first text devoted to manangement science, spreadsheet engineering, and modeling craft. An accompanying CD contained student versions of Premium Solver, Crystal Ball, and the Sensitivity Toolkit.

Second Edition. Compatible with Excel 2003. In response to surveys of the market, we moved to shorter chapters: separate chapters on data analysis, regression, and forecasting; four chapters on optimization; two chapters on simulation. We also added chapters on Excel skills and enlarged the set of exercises. The accompanying software expanded to include TreePlan and Spreadsheet Professional.

Update Edition. Compatible with Excel 2007. Most of the changes occurred in the chapters on Excel skills and data analysis. Some updates of the accompanying software were also needed. However, two students in a course, one working with the Second Edition and Excel 2003, and the other working with the Update Edition and Excel 2007, could learn the same skills. No CD came with the book; software was downloaded.
