Dynamic Modeling for Business Management applies dynamic modeling to business management, using accessible modeling techniques that are demonstrated starting with fundamental processes and advancing to more complex business models. Discussions of modeling emphasize its practical use for decision making and implementing change for measurable results. Readers will learn about both manufacturing and service-oriented business processes using hands-on lessons. They will then be able to manipulate additional models to try out their knowledge and address issues specific to their own businesses and interests. Some of the topics covered include workflow management, supply- chain management, and strategy.
