to meet the challenges of managing large, complex
organizations.

various statistical tools and techniques to improve efficiency and
allow management to make informed decisions regarding the
costs and benefits of alternative courses of action.
Four Quantitative methods which are still widely used today.

costs associated with producing a product, the variable costs for
its unit, and the contribution made by the sale of each unit to
recovering both fixed and variable costs.
Economic Order Quantity – this refers to have an effective
management of inventories towards sustainability and
profitability.

organizing the enterprise into “cross-functional” teams
composed of members of different departments working
together on common projects.
Hawthorne Studies – purpose was to study the effects of
