With its application-oriented approach, the fifth EMEA edition of Statistics for Business and Economics teaches students the core concepts of statistics in the fields of business, management, and economics, with the needs of the non-mathematician in mind.
The authors interweave statistical methodology with applications of data analysis to enrich students’ understanding of how statistics underpin problem-solving and decision-making. Students develop a computational foundation and learn to use various techniques before moving on to statistical application and interpretation.
At the end of each section, exercises focus on computation and the use of formulas, while application exercises require students to apply what they have learnt to real-world problems.

Equivariant cohomology has become an indispensable tool in
algebraic geometry and in related areas including representation
theory, combinatorial and enumerative geometry, and algebraic
combinatorics. This text introduces the main ideas of the subject
for first- or second-year graduate students in mathematics, as well
as researchers working in algebraic geometry or combinatorics. The
first six chapters cover the basics: definitions via
finite-dimensional approximation spaces, computations in projective
space, and the localization theorem. The rest of the text focuses
on examples – toric varieties, Grassmannians, and homogeneous
spaces – along with applications to Schubert calculus and
degeneracy loci. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum, so that
one-semester graduate-level courses in algebraic geometry and
topology should be sufficient preparation. Featuring numerous
exercises, examples, and material that has not previously appeared
in textbook form, this book will be a must-have reference and
resource for both students and researchers for years to come.
Achieve rapid acceleration and transformation with the Value
Flywheel Effect. Today, every business is a technology business;
every leader is a technology leader. As we enter this new era,
organizations must learn to harness technology to drive innovation
and power change. In The Value Flywheel Effect, David Anderson,
Michael O'Reilly, and Mark McCann enable leaders to create an
adaptive organization built upon embracing strategic thinking, team
focus, and reduced time to value to drive business results and
navigate a migration to the modern cloud. Using Wardley Mapping and
other sense-making approaches, The Value Flywheel Effect helps
organizations anticipate market changes and user needs. As the
flywheel starts to turn, each small win builds momentum. This
continuous momentum builds situational awareness, breaks new
boundaries, and catapults companies to sustainable, long-term
success. Learn to understand and utilize the sociotechnical
intersection between business, technology, and people with the
Value Flywheel Effect. Give your organization the edge it needs to
navigate future challenges and build maximum velocity.
The third edition of this highly-regarded text has been fully
updated whilst maintaining the accessible and comprehensive style

examples from Scotland to Saudi Arabia, this truly
internationalized version of the landmark text from the Anderson,
Sweeney and Williams team provides a complete introduction to the
subjects of Management Science and Operations Research.
Young Refugees and Forced Displacement is about young Syrian and
Iraqi refugees navigating the complex realities of forced
displacement in Beirut. It is based on a British Academy funded
two-year project with 51 displaced youths aged 8 to 17 and under
the care of three local humanitarian organisations. Focus groups,
interviews and innovative arts-based methods were used to learn
about their everyday lives. At the end of the project, we
coproduced with them a public mural, allowing unexpected
epistemological and methodological reflections on researching
refugees and the "right to opacity." Families and friendships,
humanitarian caregiving, racism, discrimination and everyday
decencies and civilities make up the stuff of their ordinary,
everyday encounters within refugeedom, defining both its sharper
edges and its more inadvertent and quietly political ones. Thus,
refugeedom, as we conceive it, includes "the humanitarian
condition" but goes a little beyond it, to become also a human
condition of political alterity. In navigating refugeedom, the
young Syrians and Iraqis become sophisticated political and moral
actors, using emotional reflexivity as they engage layered
subjectivities to define the terms of their own forced
displacement. This book will be of interest to policymakers,
humanitarian organisations, social science scholars and students
working on refugees, displacement, humanitarianism, intimacies and
emotions, racism and discrimination. It may also be of interest to
displaced youth.
Motor Learning and Control: Concepts and Applications, 12e, is an
introduction to the study of motor learning and control for
students who aspire to become practitioners in exercise science,
physical education, and other movement-oriented professions. Each
chapter presents motor learning and control as a set of principles
and guidelines based on research evidence. The authors' clear
writing style and practical applications will help students build a
solid foundation and prepare them for further exploration on their
own. Instructors and students can now access their course content
through the Connect digital learning platform by purchasing either
standalone Connect access or a bundle of print and Connect access.

The field of organizational storytelling research is productive,
vibrant and diverse. Over three decades we have come to understand
how organizations are not only full of stories but also how stories
are actively making, sustaining and changing organizations. This
edited collection contributes to this body of work by paying
specific attention to stories that are neglected, edited out,
unintentionally omitted or deliberately left silent. Despite the
fact that such stories are not voiced they have a role to play in
organizational analysis. The chapters in this volume variously
explore how certain realities become excluded or silenced. The
stories that remain below the audible range in organizations offer
researchers an access to study political practices which
marginalise certain organisational realities whilst promoting
others. This volume offers a further contribution by paying heed to
silence and the processes of silencing. These silences influence
the choice of issues on organisational agendas, the choice of
audience(s) to which these discourses are addressed and the ways of
addressing them. In exploring these relatively understudied
terrains, Untold Stories in Organizations comprises an important
contribution to the organizational storytelling space, opening
paths for new trajectories in storytelling research.
