Management Science

Management Science covers a wide range of problem-solving and mathematical modelling techniques that help managers to improve decision-making and efficiency.
Examples of these techniques are econometrics, mathematical optimization, simulation, data analytics, statistics, and decision analysis. These techniques are widely applied in areas such as finance, risk management, economics, strategic management, international business, logistics and quality management.
