Data Analysis for Managers With Microsoft Excel, by Albright, 2nd Edition

Customer Reviews:

Challenging Textbook, full of practical Excel techniques

By Jhs "user186355998" - December 1, 2004

Waste of Money

I am using this book for a MBA class at a Top 20 school. Our class is focused on students who have not had any formal background in statistics. This book lacks in depth explanations for its problems. Its solutions manual is marginally helpful because it also does not explain how it reaches the answers.

Unfortunately, my whole MBA class is going through is agony with this book.
