Systems Modelling: Theory and Practice

Draws on the work of INCISM, a research network made up of practitioners and academics which has been examining the links between hard and soft OR - there is much interest in this material in the field.

Split into two sections - in the first half, leading thinkers explore theoretical aspects of the hard-soft debate, while the second half takes this further using practical examples from the field.

Mike Pidd is Past President of the OR Society and one of the leading authors in his field - his contributors bring the rigour of Lancaster, Cranfield, Strathclyde, LBS and The Open University.
