Analytics, the data-driven approach to management, is an essential managerial tool. The objective of Analytics for Managers is to introduce analytics from the perspective of a corporation's general manager.

Each chapter introduces a potential issue in the field, then presents some basic analytical concepts that have been successfully used to address that problem. This innovative presentation of material provides the student, the manager of the future, with a well-rounded understanding of the analyst's tools and techniques. This book will appeal to upper-level undergraduate and MBA level students.
