Overview

"Data and analytics capabilities have made a leap forward in recent years and have changed the way businesses make decisions.

We wrote Business Analytics: Communicating with Numbers from the ground up to equip students with the skills to understand, manage, and visualize the data; apply the appropriate analysis tools; and communicate the findings and their relevance. The text seamlessly threads the topics of data wrangling, descriptive analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics into a cohesive whole. Experiential learning opportunities have been proven effective in teaching applied and complex subjects such as business analytics. In this text, we provide a holistic analytics process, including dealing with real-life data that are not necessarily "clean" and/or "small."
