This book covers basic concepts of business statistics, data analysis, and management science in a spreadsheet environment. Practical applications are emphasized throughout the book for business decision-making; a comprehensive database is developed, with marketing, financial, and production data already formatted on Excel worksheets.

For those employed in the fields of quality control, management science, operations management, statistical science, and those who need to interpret data to make informed business decisions.

Not A Great Book, Very Difficult to Read October 23, 2008
mba_student (Birmingham, AL USA)
I am using the book now for my graduate MBA level Stats class and it is far from easy to understand. The text is difficult to read and equations are not adequately explained.
The CD which is included would be great, but you can't use it if you have Vista as your operating system. I ended up having to install trials of the software, which have expired and my class is not over.
I do not recommend this text for anyone who truly wants to delve into the material. With this book, you won't be able to do so.
Covers points, but neither in a clear or concise manner. March 18, 2005

6 out of 8 found this review helpful
If you're looking for a clear, easy to understand work, this is not for you. It seems the author fluctuates between writing for a population that is well versed in statistical understanding, to one that is just learning concepts and terms. The reader ends up being tossed around with too much information at times, and at other times too little information. There are many, many better works on these topics.
