Business Analytics with Management Science Models and Methods by Arben Asllani
Master decision modeling and analytics through realistic examples, intuitive explanations, and tested Excel templates. Business Analytics with Management Science has been designed to help students, practitioners and managers use business analytics to improve decision-making systems. Unlike previous books, it emphasizes the application of practical management science techniques in business analytics. Drawing on 20+ years of teaching and consulting experience, Dr. Arben Asllani introduces decision analytics through realistic examples and intuitive explanations - not complex formulae and theoretical definitions. Throughout, Asllani helps practitioners focus more on the crucial input-output aspects of decision making - and less upon internal model complexities that can usually be delegated to software.
As Business Analytics has become a popular topic in recent years, a number of texts on the subject have appeared in the marketHowever, most of these books simply present a collection of topics in data mining, statistics, and management science tools. Dr. Asllani's book has a refreshing new approach to business analytics-a logical flow of design thinking for decision support with management science methods. This book emphasizes the creative thinking approach to decision making through practical, intuitive, and real success application examples. This is an excellent text for students and practitioners of business analytics.

Dr. Asllani illustrates the relevance of management science in the era of Big Data and Business Analytics. He demonstrates how predictive analytics can inform and enhance prescriptive analysis, and how the rapid growth in computing power has impacted tackling larger optimizations. It is a great primer for someone new to the topic, and a great reference to anyone in the field. After 10 years practicing management science and prior graduate level coursework, I have found that the content in Dr. Asllani's book has affected my professional modeling with a rigor and understanding that I didn't realize had been lacking. The book is well-written and paced, and each chapter builds on concepts from the prior. End-of-chapter questions challenge the reader to recall information from the chapter and consider its practical applications.
