Sommario/riassunto

<P>This book explains how the methodology of systems analysis and mathematical methods of control theory (including game theory and graph theory) can be applied to the area of organizational management. The theory presented extends the traditional approach of management science by introducing the optimization and game-theoretical tools for systematic accounting of the special nature of a human being as a control object. The authors use formal methods to construct robust and efficient decision-making procedures. </P>
