Introduction to Business Analytics recognizes that students need to
develop the skills to ask the right questions, learn to use common
workplace tools (such as Excel (R), Tableau (R), and Power BI (R))
to examine and analyze data, and interpret results accurately and
effectively to make business decisions. Richardson 1e provides a
framework for developing a business analytics mindset called the
SOAR analytics model which is composed of four steps- Specify the
question, Obtain the data, analyze the data, and report the
results. This model is used throughout the text in conjunction with
the various types of data analysis that analysts need to perform.
The lab activities, which appear at the end of each chapter, follow
this framework to reinforce the analytical process. A capstone in
the final chapter provides three projects that apply the complete
SOAR model.
For decades the black community has been perceived, both in the
United States and around the world, as one which thinks alike, acts
alike and lives alike - in poor and downtrodden environments.
Following the persistent effects of the great recession and the
American elections of 2008, now more than ever the political and
socio-economic state of America is crying out for this deficient
and prejudiced conception to be dispelled. Focusing primarily on
black families in America, Contemporary African American Families
updates empirical research by addressing various aspects including
family formation, schooling, health and parenting. Exploring a wide
class spectrum among African American families, this text also
modernizes and subverts much of the research resulting from
Moynihan's 1965 report, which arguably misunderstood the lived
experiences of black people during the movement from slavery to
freedom in a Jim Crow society. A timely subversion of the myth that
America is successfully in a post-racial era, this new anthology on
the Black Family in America will appeal to advanced undergraduate
students and research scholars interested in black studies,
Africana studies, women and gender studies, sociology, political
science, anthropology, criminal justice, education, psychology,
public policy, healthy policy and social work.
