tougher. Do it better, do it faster, do it cheaper are the
pressures every manager faces. And at the heart of every manager's
job is decision-making: deciding what to do and how to do it. This
well-respected text looks at how quantitative analysis techniques
can be used effectively to support such decision making. As a
manager, developing a good understanding of the quantitative
analysis techniques at your disposal is crucial. Knowing how, and
when, to use them and what their results really mean can be the
difference between making a good or bad decision and, ultimately,
between business success and failure. Appealing both to students on
introductory-level courses and to MBA and postgraduate students,
this internationally successful text provides an accessible
introduction to a subject area that students often find difficult.
Quantitative Analysis for Decision Makers (formerly known as
Quantitative Methods for Decision Makers) helps students to
understand the relevance of quantitative methods of analysis to
management decision-making by relating techniques directly to
real-life business decisions in public and private sector
organisations and focuses on developing appropriate skills and
understanding of how the techniques fit into the wider management
process. Key features: The use of real data sets to show how
analytical techniques are used in practice "QADM in Action" case
studies illustrating how organisations benefit from the use of
analytical techniques Articles from the Financial Times
illustrating the use of such techniques in a variety of business
settings Fully worked examples and exercises supported by Excel
data sets Student Progress Check activities in each chapter with
solutions A 300+ page Tutors Solutions Manual
Mik Wisniewski's "Mathematics for Economics" introduces and
develops the mathematical skills and techniques necessary for any
serious study of economics. The approach taken throughout the book
is integrative, showing how mathematical techniques are an
essential part of economic analysis. In this way the author is able
to effectively illustrate the useful insights into economic
behaviour that only mathematics can bring.
The practical focus of the book is reflected in its modular
structure, in which concepts are presented in student-friendly
chunks. Each module first illustrates why economists need a
particular mathematical skill or technique. Next, the key
principles of that mathematical technique are developed and
explained. Finally, we see how that technique can be applied to
common economic situations in order to improve our understanding of
economic principles and behaviour.
Key features of the third edition include:
- A clear focus on the practical usefulness of mathematics to
economic analysis
- A gradual progression of mathematical material throughout the
text
- Ideal for students who have a limited mathematical background,
but provides pathways for students to proceed at their own
pace
- Progress Check and Knowledge Check activities throughout each
module, so that students can check their own understanding
- Fully-worked examples are integrated into the end of each module
showing a more complete and complex application to the
student
- New module on probability in economic analysis
"Available to lecturers: " Access to a companion website at
www.palgrave.com/economics/wisniewski, which includes PowerPoint
slides and an instructor's resource manual containing fully worked
solutions to end-of-module exercises, as well as additional
exercises for each module.
