2.1 Introduction :
The management science approach to the process of modern management is to provide
managers of the organisation with a scientific basis for solving problems involving the interaction
of components of the organisation in the best interests of the organisation as a whole.
The emphasis on this approach began with the scientific management movement which
proposed a systematic application of scientific method to management problems.
The basic
objective to this approach is to transform all aspects of management phenomenon into the domain
of standardised processes of decision making so that some of the available and tested decision
making techniques can be utilised in solving some of the problems. In that respect the tools of
management science are used to diagnose and analyse the problem and to find the best solution
via the analysis of the possible consequences of different solutions.
