Course Objective

This course provides students with the analytical tools necessary to make better management decisions. In order to appraise and evaluate quantitative information, several mathematical techniques are introduced that can be applied to business situations. Since spreadsheets are the dominant tool in business and they are flexible and powerful platform for analyzing data and modeling business processes and decisions, spreadsheets will be used primarily. The focus of this course is on exploiting the power of quantitative models and optimizations systems in problem solving.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   This course is expected to help the student to learn basic principles of quantitative models and optimization techniques in management decisions.
2   To enable students to model real life business problems via linear and integer programming.
3   To enable students to solve these models through optimization softwares such as LINGO, OPL Studio etc.
4   To enable students to analyze and interpret the solutions of these models by using sensitivity analysis
