More specifically, it is about stochastic networking techniques that can be used by practicing managers in making decisions, whether the setting be in the private or public sector. While the book is written for the manager and adopts his or her perspective, enough detail is included to permit the staff analyst or specialist to implement a stochastic technique and to provide the manager with a completed risk analysis as input to the decision that only the manager can make.Analytical Functions of Management
