Statistical Analysis of Management Data provides a comprehensive approach to multivariate statistical analyses that are important for researchers in all fields of management, including finance, production, accounting, marketing, strategy, technology, and human resources. This book is especially designed to provide doctoral students with a theoretical knowledge of the concepts underlyingthe most important multivariate techniques and an overview of actual applications. It offers a clear, succinct exposition of each technique with emphasis on when each technique is appropriate and how to use it. This second edition, fully revised, updated, and expanded, reflects the most current evolution in the methods for data analysis in management and the social sciences. In particular, it places a greater emphasis on measurement models, and includes new chapters and sections on: confirmatory factor analysis canonical correlation analysis cluster analysis analysis of covariance structure multi-group confirmatory factor analysis and analysis of covariance structures. Featuring numerous examples, the book may serve as an advanced text or as a resource for applied researchers in industry who want to understand the foundations of the methods and to learn how they can be applied using widely available statistical software. "Offers comprehensive treatment of statistical analysis as applied to management data; other titles cover multivariate analysis more generally Fully revised, expanded, and updated from previous edition, featuring the most current applications of techniques and methods Features numerous worked examples, statistical tables, and description of data sets" INDICE: 1: Introduction.- 2: Multivariate Normal Distribution.- 3: Measurement Theory: Reliability and Factor Analysis.- 4: Multiple Regression with a Single Dependent Variable.- 5: System of Equations.- 6: Categorial Dependent Variables.- 7: Rank Ordered Data.- 8: Error in Variables - Analysis of Covariance Structure.- 9: Analyses of Similarity and Preference Data.- Appendices: A: Rules in Matrix Algebra.- B: Statistical Tables.- C: Description of Data Sets.
