It is a realistic book that challenges the way students look at business problems and issues. ...the text equips the reader with the skills and techniques required to make informed decisions. …The authors demonstrate the techniques with a wealth of practical examples drawn from a variety of real life applications. …One of the more innovative features of this book is the inclusion of a number of 'hands on' exercises and experiments. …The book is extremely interesting and would be useful to aid managers in their decision-making process.

Book Description
Students in business, management, or commerce need to think statistically about matters that arise in business, identify with the issues raised, and look at how statistics can help. Traditional business statistics texts focus on mathematical detail and heavy computation, and thus fail to meet the needs of future managers. As an introductory text in business statistics, this book takes a different approach by showing students how statistics is important in all aspects of business and equipping them with the skills needed to make sensible use of data.
