Utilizing principles from mathematics, engineering, business, computer science, economics, and statistics, OR has developed into a full fledged academic discipline with practical application in business, industry, government and military. Currently regarded as a body of established mathematical models and methods essential to solving complicated management issues, OR provides quantitative analysis of problems from which managers can make objective decisions. Operations Research and Management Science (OR\/MS) methodologies continue to flourish in numerous decision making fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a mix of international authors, \u003cb\u003eOperations Research and Management Science\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eHandbook\u003c\/b\u003e combines OR\/MS models, methods, and applications into one comprehensive, yet concise volume.
