Publisher's Synopsis
The New Science of Management Decision: The Ford Distinguished Lectures, V3 is a book written by Herbert Alexander Simon, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and management theorist. The book is a collection of lectures delivered by Simon in 1957, which explore the emerging field of management science and its application to decision-making in organizations.In the book, Simon argues that traditional approaches to management decision-making, which rely on intuition and experience, are no longer sufficient in a rapidly changing business environment. Instead, he proposes a new scientific approach that draws on mathematical modeling and computer simulation to analyze complex problems and make more informed decisions.The book covers a range of topics, including the role of information in decision-making, the use of models and simulations, and the importance of organizational structure and communication. Simon also discusses the limitations of the new science of management decision-making, acknowledging that it is not a panacea for all organizational problems.Overall, The New Science of Management Decision: The Ford Distinguished Lectures, V3 is a seminal work in the field of management science, offering insights and guidance for managers and scholars alike on how to make better decisions in a complex and uncertain world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
