Management Science and Computer Based Modeling
Business involves dealing with numbers. Numbers are then used strategically to make business decisions. This course is about how to formulate business problems involving numbers and how to solve them using the latest computer tools. The course introduces modeling techniques for resource allocation, operational, and other managerial problems. The course will make full use of computer tools (Excel, CrystalBall and Macros) that integrate the knowledge and implementation skills to solve such managerial problems. It is assumed that students who take this course have familiarity with Windows environment on a PC and have basic Excel skills. This is a core course that is required for all MBA first year students.
