Business Analytics, Global Edition
B**T
Thorough and well done
Very thorough and well written. This is clearly written as a college textbook, with chapter and section-based exercises and probing questions. It includes numerous tutorials and examples using Excel and StatCrunch. I'm (obviously) familiar with Excel, but have never heard of StatCrunch. Well done, but from my perspective could have done without the StatCrunch stuff.

Lowest Price (Printed Loose-leaf Version)
Bought it on Amazon $137.98, I believe this is the lowest price I could find online. I also have a PDF version, but bought the paper loose-leaf version to take notes and mark the pages. The contents is very comprehensive for you to learn BA, I found it's very helpful learning the concepts.

The accompanying student access kit was broken
This is fraudulent. I paid full price and got the book with a broken seal on the student access code, which was already scratched. I need a refund! I will be returning this book

One of the better management oriented BA books
One of the better -- and more popular -- management-oriented Business Analytics books available. It is strong enough to cover needs for most business classes, whether undergraduate or graduate, and possibly could be leveraged for a two-class sequence at the undergrad level.The book suffers from the same issues as many. Most notably:- Gawd-awful demonstrations of properly visualizing data ... it's just clicking defaults in Excel, which are bad to begin with.- Lack of integration or availability of technology other than Excel. While the Excel demonstrations are good, it does tend to boil down to an Excel how-to, and for that, I would recommend Winston and/or Albright instead.- Lack of interdisciplinary approaches & examples. The author comes out of the management science & operations management tradition, and it shows. Not bad but a broader view & perspective is lacking.Nevertheless, it is a good BA text and one of the better ones out there. A truly _BUSINESS_ analytics text is sorely needed in this domain. This book is not that but it is about the best available.

Not in good condition
Book is used and there is not any writing that I have found this far, but the cover is falling off and it is very worn, so if this is acceptable then it is severely over priced. I couldn't find anything else and work best with hard copies, so it's possible I'll still just keep it.

Not working
I installed the last version of Kindle from Amazon, but I still not able to read this book, while others are just working fine.

Not good for learning BA
This has to have been one of the worst textbooks I used during my graduate program. The book doesn’t explain a lot of the information in-depth. YouTube, the professor and Chegg were of better support! The problems at the end of the chapter often required an understanding the author(s) didn’t delve into.I gave it 2 stars, instead of 1, because the first chapter did include some helpful Excel reminders.
