Decision Making in Systems Engineering and Management

by Gregory S. Parnell (Editor), Patrick J. Driscoll (Editor), Dale L. Henderson (Editor)

This comprehensive textbook provides a logical process for fact-based decision making for the most challenging systems problems. It is composed of three bedrock elements to improve readers' understanding and analysis of the most challenging systems problems that exist today: systems thinking, which identifies important interconnections between a system and its environment; systems engineering, which describes the activities of professional systems engineers; and systems decision making, which provides fact-based information to support major system decisions made at every life cycle stage.

This was the textbook for my introduction to systems engineering course taught by DR Driscoll, one of the authors/editors of this book. The book is a great primer for the whole scope of systems engineering and an excellent place to start learning about the discipline for almost anyone.
