This book is written for the students and practitioners who are looking for asingle introductory Excel-based resource that covers three essential businessand analytical skills—Data Analysis, Business Modeling, and Simulation of Complex Problems. The focus of the book is clearly on analysis of problems for decision making, yet detailed explanations regarding how to use Excel tools are provided. After many years of teaching and consulting, it is abundantly clear to me that for most students, a good example is worth its weight in gold. Thisbook contains many excellent examples in each chapter, some simple and othersmore complex, and there is an abundance of exhibits to guide the student through the maze of steps necessary for each analysis. The content is quite diverse: data presentation — the Feng Shui of spreadsheets, effective communication and collaboration, data preparation — import, scrub, manipulate data, data analysis — statistical methods: descriptive, inferential, and predictive, modeling — deterministic, probabilistic, What-if, Scenarios, simulation — Monte CarloSimulation, Design of Experiments, optimization — constrained, Linear Programming, non-linear models, Goal Seek. Couple these features with detailed discussions of how to realistically organize and extract insight from complex problems, and I believe you have a unique educational combination in one book. This book is targeted at business students or practitioners looking for a single introductory Excel-based resource covering three essential business skills—Data Analysis, Business Modeling, and Simulation The Instructors Manual offers opportunities for classroom instruction, student participation and assignments or research Problems and Exercises at the end of each chapter INDICE: Introduction to Spreadsheet Modeling.- Presentation of Quantitative Data.- Data Analysis of Quantitative Data.- Presentation of Qualitative Data.- Analysis of Qualitative Data.- Inferential Statistical Analysis of Data.- Modeling and Simulation: Part 1.- Modeling and Simulation: Part 2.- Solver, Scenarios and Goal Seek Tools.
