MGT 6611 - Practical Management Science II

This course continues the practical approach to management science by using popular business software (e.g., Microsoft Excel) to solve analytical models. Management-decision problems covered in the course may include marginal analysis, linear and integer programming, goal programming, transportation models, specialized network models, inventory models, critical-path method/project management networks, queuing theory, and simulation. Where applicable, the course will build on topics at a more advanced level than models covered in required MBA courses such as MBA 6430 -- Data Analysis and Decision Making -- and MBA 6300 -- Production/Operations Management. Although it is recommended to take both MGT 6710 and MGT 6711 in succession, MGT 6710 is not a prerequisite for this course.
