Practical Management Science Description
This text takes an active-learning approach, providing numerous examples and problems so students can practice extensively with a concept before moving on. Four types of problems--skill-building, skill-extending, modeling, and cases--are graded within sections and chapters to help instructors assign homework. Another important feature is the way that the text integrates modeling into all functional areas of business: finance, marketing, operations management using real examples and real data. The text emphasizes modeling over algebraic formulations and memorization of particular models. Shell files are also provided so that instructors can give students as much or as little information as they need. This edition has been revised to be compatible with Excel 2010 and the corresponding add-ins for Excel 2010.

I recently purchased the e-book version of Practical Management Science.
The product description states that:
“The essentials resource website, whose access is available with every new book, includes links to the following add-ins: the Palisade Decision Tools Suite (@RISK, StatTools, PrecisionTree, TopRank, RISKOptimizer, NeuralTools, and Evolver); and SolverTable, which allows you to do sensitivity analysis. All of these add-ins have been revised for Excel 2010.”
Not only did the kindle book not include access to these resources, it also did not include access to the multitude of .xlsx files around which all examples and instruction in the book is based. Without these files, the book’s examples are mostly worthless and it is impossible to follow along with the text.
I contacted Cengage customer service (1-800-354-9706) on April 16, 2013 to express my concerns and request access to the electronic resources. In my mind this was a very simple and straightforward request, requiring nothing more than a simple exchange of access-code information over the phone. After holding and talking with the representative for almost 30 minutes, the customer service representative informed me that there was nothing they could do and that it was not Cengage Learning’s fault that their Practical Management Science product (sold by them through Amazon) was dishonestly marketed. Instead, she recommended I return the version I already purchased and spent many hours annotating, to instead purchase the book through Cengage Learning’s website.
This resolution is unacceptable and dishonest. I recommend others look elsewhere for instructional textbooks as both Cengage Learning’s products and customer service are not acceptable.
