The inevitable impact of this on business education is that management science has become an integral part of business curricula, and a host of textbooks dealing with the subject have been written.

Three major pedagogical issues that have influenced the writing of this text are: 1) the role of the computer in teaching management science; 2) the matching of presentation style to the audience of the text; and 3) the necessary content to accommodate a variety of instructor styles and syllabi."
