Mathematical Programming

Part of an annual series dedicated to the discussion of the studies in the application of management science to the solution of significant managerial decision making problems. This volume deals with the applications of mathematical programming to Multi-criteria decision making, Supply chain management, Performance management, and Risk analysis.
