Each chapter utilizes case studies and numerous examples. Mathematical and technical sections can be skipped without loss of continuity. The book also contains two software packages, the Computerized Beer Game and the Risk Pool Game which help illustrate many of the concepts discussed.

Visually, the book is also good, with a layout and graphic design that makes reading easier and not at all a strain on the ... Read More
