Learn about the Standard Statistical and Management Science Techniques Used in Business Today inside 'Management Science: the Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets, 2nd Edition'.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c49293) has announced the addition of Management Science: The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets, 2nd Edition to their offering. Successful business modeling is much more than a technical discipline; it's an art. The new second edition of this innovative book covers spreadsheet engineering, management science techniques, and those essential craft skills needed to develop real expertise in business modeling. Readers will discover how to utilize effective methods for designing, building, and testing models, and for performing model-based analyses. And they'll learn about the standard statistical and management science techniques used in business today. Author information Stephen G. Powell has been Professor of Business Administration at Dartmouth College Dartmouth College, at Hanover, N.H.; coeducational; chartered 1769, opened 1770, the ninth colonial college (see Wheelock, Eleazar). Originally a men's college, Dartmouth began admitting women in 1972. since 1987. He teaches courses in management science, including the core Decision Science course, and electives in the Art of Modeling and Applications of Simulation. His research interests include modeling production lines and service sector business processes, as well as how novices formulate models and use models in decision making. He is co-author of The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets, with Ken Baker, and recipient of the 2001 INFORMS Prize for Teaching of OR/MS Practice. He is also working with the Tuck Spreadsheet Engineering Research Project, a three-year project to study how individuals and organizations use spreadsheets and to identify best practices. Ken Baker is a faculty member at Dartmouth College. He is currently Nathaniel Leverone Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration is the business school of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Founded in 1900, Tuck is the oldest graduate school of business in the world. and also Adjunct Professor at the Thayer School of Engineering The Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College was founded in 1867 by General Sylvanus Thayer, widely known as the "father of the U.S. Military Academy." The Thayer School offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering sciences. . At Dartmouth, he has taught courses relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc Decision Science, Manufacturing Management, and Environmental Management. Over the years, much of his teaching and research has dealt with Production Planning Production planning The function of a manufacturing enterprise responsible for the efficient planning, scheduling, and coordination of all production activities. and Control, and he is widely known for his textbook, Elements of Sequencing and Scheduling, in addition to a variety of technical articles. He has served as Tuck School's Associate Dean and directed the Tuck School's management development programs in the manufacturing area. In 2001, he was named a Fellow of INFORMS' Manufacturing and Service Operations Management (MSOM MSOM Master of Science, Oriental Medicine MSOM Master of Science, Organizational Management MSOM Master Sergeant of Marines ) Society.
