Quantitative Approaches in Business Studies Summary

Quantitative Approaches in Business Studies by Clare Morris

Quantitative Approaches in Business Studies is a widely used, first-rate introduction to the effective use of mathematical and statistical methods/techniques in business. Fully updated for this 6/e, the book adopts a problem solving approach to show the relevance of quantitative techniques in the business and management environment. Requiring only minimal prior mathematical knowledge, the text maintains the accessible and user-friendly style of earlier editions. A first chapter on basic numeracy skills allows the reader to brush-up on their knowledge while worked examples in the text and accompanying on-line Excel workbook allow students to test their understanding.
