Very in-depth.
Most examples are from real corporate situations (though the company names are changed). Definitely a permanent reference guide to add to your book shelf after you complete the class.

I bought this for 1/3 of the price of the bookstore. Corners were beaten up, but it cost less then buying from bookstore minus what they would buy it back for.

The material in each chapter is correctly presented as useful for managerial decision making. Decision making ... Read More
Rating: - This textbook is TERRIBLE!
This book is written in unnecessarily complicated language and does not present information in a way that is easily understood. I teach graduate courses in quantitative methods and I made the mistake of ordering this book for one of my courses without reading it first. It was a disaster!
Unless you are getting a doctorate and need to know lots of complicated formulas without adequate explanations, DO NOT buy this book.
