Introduction Management Science (MS) is prematurely noted as “a field of study characterized by the use of mathematical and computer models for decision making.” The early stages of formal endeavours in Management Sciences were seen in UK during World War II‚ where applications of scientific thinking were used within the military management domain. Responses towards MS attempts were usually sceptics‚ hence explaining the conservative approach as the recipients were not very receptive towards
