Business Analytics

Bought this for an intro to Accounting Analytics class and this serves a great introduction to a basic understanding of the analytics field. It also teaches you some hidden excel functions and add-ons that you may utilize to perform your analytics and statistics.

The product was delivered with utmost care and the quality of the product too is great. Thank you

This was assigned for a graduate data analytics course. It was easy to follow, well written and easily referenced.

Be prepared for endless frustration. How this book was ever seen to be fit to print not once but twice is beyond me. It's horribly edited for starters. The text will give directions or steps on completing a process in reverse order using passive language. It will cite a table or chart as an example and then bury that table or chart under unrelated text on the next topic. Just awful. Then, you look at the examples... good grief. No clear direction and they basically sum things up by saying, "Just do something, and this is the answer." The problem sets that come in the Excel file are frustratingly vague. The practice problems are either vague or incorrect. This book is just an absolute mess, and don't be surprised if your professor who assigned the book is just as scatterbrained. Them assigning this text should be a HUGE red flag.

My fiancé got this for her courses at college. I can't really review this on her behalf, because I didn't read/use this book. But hey, she passed her course so this must work!

First 14 pages of book covered over half of the content that was covered in another school's online course. Totally worth every penny!

Book is exactly what was advertised and came in excellent condition for use in my Business Analytics class.

Lots of typos

I got this book as a refresher for business analytics. Normally, I don't bother with Excel. I use Python to do data science / machine learning. But I wanted to have a quick refresher. If you work too long with a hammer .... I wish I had had this book during my MBA. The book is easy to read, interesting theory with many practical case studies. Additionally, they go deep into Excel (through an add on). They cover exciting stuff such as: - Stochastic processes - Monte Carlo Simulation - Simple Machine Learning Algoriths - Linear Programming / Optimization Every number cruncher should be excited about those topics :-) I certainly see cases where I would use Excel (with an add on), in particular for quick and dirty linear optimization. As a scientific Python user, I always envy Excel's ability to create visuals in seconds. For us, visuals are a nightmare. Would I use Excel for data science / machine learning? NEVER! Not even to learn it. In Excel, I can't "read code" ....I'd be totally lost. Great book!

It met my expectations, however you can tell the difference from the Global Edition as pages are in b/w. For the rest, content is the same at a fraction of the cost. Very glad with the purchase.

good

very good book for the cost it is being sold in India, excellent content, detailed examples on predictive, prescriptive, Non linear problems. you will get lot of enthu/interest to read the book
