Its virtues include the fact that it can be easily disposed of in a few hours time, it makes a nice focal point for discussion in graduate level classes in operations research, and it brings together in a single volume the kind of material (clichés as well as useful insights) that is conventionally found in either the first or last chapter of traditional operations-research texts.
