Quantitative Methods for Decision Making

is a comprehensive guide that provides students with the key techniques and methodology they will need to successfully engage with all aspects of quantitative analysis and decision making; both on their undergraduate course, and in the larger context of their future business environments. Organized in accordance with the enterprise functional structure where the decision making takes place, the textbook encompasses a broad range of functions, each detailed with clear examples illustrated through the single application tool Microsoft Excel. The authors approach a range of methods which are divided into major enterprise functions such as marketing, sales, business development, manufacturing, quality control and finance; illustrating how the methods can be applied in practice and translated into a working environment.

Each chapter is packed with short case studies to exemplify the practical use of techniques, and contains a wealth of exercises after key sections and concepts, giving students the opportunity to monitor their own progress using the solutions at the back of the book.

An Online Resource Centre accompanies the text and includes:

For students:

- Numerical skills workbook with additional exercises, questions and content

- Data from the examples and exercises in the book

- Online glossary of terms

- Revision tips

- Visual walkthrough videos covering the application of a range of quantitative methods

- Appendices to the book

For lecturers:
