Beschreibung

It is hard for a student starting out on a business degree to have any idea what to expect from a quantitative methods course. Yet the contribution of statistical and mathematical techniques - to the effective running of an organisation, to decision-making and to operational efficiency - is a vitally important one. Quantitative Approaches in Business Studies provides a clear and accessible introduction to these methods, ideal for students of business and management on undergraduate, Masters and professional courses.

With a uniquely user-friendly style, Clare Morris' popular treatment of this challenging subject is carefully designed to build students' confidence in the use and interpretation of quantitative methods. Encouraging conceptual understanding as well as practical aptitude, the text leads the reader from an initial chapter revising basic mathematics through to a concluding chapter discussing statistical research methods for student projects. Practical guidance on the use of Excel for quantitative analysis runs throughout the text, integrated with an online Excel workbook.

Introduction: Why quantitative methods?



Part 1 NUMBERS how we handle them

  1. Tools of the trade: basic numeracy skills


Part 2 NUMBERS a means of communication

  • Obtaining the figures: data and data collection
  • Presenting the figures: tables and diagrams
  • Summarising the figures: measures of location and spread
  • Measuring changes: index numbers


  • Part 3 NUMBERS a basis for deduction

  • A firm foundation: elementary probability
  • Patterns of probability: some distributions
  • Estimating from samples: inference
  • Checking a theory: hypothesis testing
  • Making it better: statistics and quality improvement
  • Looking for connections: correlation
  • Spotting the relationship: line fitting
  • Multiple regression


  • Part 4 NUMBERS a tool of planning

  • Planning an inventory policy: stock control and simulation
  • Forecasting: time-series, semi-log graphs and exponential smoothing
  • Allowing for interest: financial mathematics
  • Planning production levels: linear programming
  • Planning a project: network analysis
  • Quantitative methods in the student research project
