This book presents the essential concepts of operations research and
engineering management in a structured manner. Starting with the basic
functions of management – planning, organizing, leading and
controlling – it introduces the reader to the process of strategic
decision-making, covering the essentials of technological invention
management, innovation and entrepreneurship, with ample examples of
decision-making under certainty, uncertainty and risk conditions. It
also exposes the reader to the fundamentals of managing projects and
professional communication. In order to reinforce the theory used,
practical case studies taken from relevant disciplines are introduced.
For instance, case studies from the retail sector have been appended
to the assignment problem and cases related to traffic have been
introduced for queuing formulation. The concept of game theory is
discussed in greater detail with an introduction to topics such as
incentive compatibility, Bayesian representations fordifferent games,
budget balance, auctions and a broad coverage of mechanism design.
While a few of these problems have been solved in the book, a few
others have been left un-solved to promote readers’ understanding.
The mix of theoretical and practical examples reveals to the reader
the underlying complexities and highlights the challenges entailed by
field implementation.
