Business Analytics, Global Edition

This has to have been one of the worst textbooks I used during my graduate program. The book doesn’t explain a lot of the information in-depth. YouTube, the professor and Chegg were of better support! The problems at the end of the chapter often required an understanding the author(s) didn’t delve into.I gave it 2 stars, instead of 1, because the first chapter did include some helpful Excel reminders.

Bought it on Amazon $137.98, I believe this is the lowest price I could find online. I also have a PDF version, but bought the paper loose-leaf version to take notes and mark the pages. The contents is very comprehensive for you to learn BA, I found it's very helpful learning the concepts.

I rented this for a class, It has all of the relevant info required to pass bus351 ranging from excel knowledge to machine learning

I am working as a teaching assistant for an MBA class using this book. Many mistakes, typos, confusing concepts (I don't think the author himself understand the differences between the sample size and the number of samples...). One of the worst stats books I've read and used.

One of the better -- and more popular -- management-oriented Business Analytics books available. It is strong enough to cover needs for most business classes, whether undergraduate or graduate, and possibly could be leveraged for a two-class sequence at the undergrad level.The book suffers from the same issues as many. Most notably:- Gawd-awful demonstrations of properly visualizing data ... it's just clicking defaults in Excel, which are bad to begin with.- Lack of integration or availability of technology other than Excel. While the Excel demonstrations are good, it does tend to boil down to an Excel how-to, and for that, I would recommend Winston and/or Albright instead.- Lack of interdisciplinary approaches & examples. The author comes out of the management science & operations management tradition, and it shows. Not bad but a broader view & perspective is lacking.Nevertheless, it is a good BA text and one of the better ones out there. A truly _BUSINESS_ analytics text is sorely needed in this domain. This book is not that but it is about the best available.

For a uni book it wasn't too expensive. It has a lot of practical exercises and useful explanations.Only thing I didn't like is that the Glossary in the back is a mess. It's an overview of the important terms in the book, together with an explanation of the term. However, while it's in alphabetical order, for some reason it only takes into account the first letter of the terms, which results in orders like this:"Power function","Parallel coordinates chart","Proportional relationships","Payoffs"Obviously, this makes it very hard to quickly look up a term to find its decription.Also there are leftover terms in the glossary from the previous edition of the book, which are not talked about in this edition, but they forgot to remove them from the glossary.
