Overview of Advances in Business Operation & Product Book

For students and others seeking to master analytics, case studies are invaluable: they expose the entire decision-making process, helping readers practice an active role in both performing analysis and using output to recommend optimal decisions. Now, drawing on his extensive teaching and consulting experience, Prof. Matthew Drake has created the ideal new casebook for undergraduate and masters' courses in business analytics and for specialized courses applying analytics to specific industries or business functions. Drake, author of the widely-praised Applied Business Analytics Casebook, presents a collection of up-to-date cases that are longer and more detailed than those typically presented in undergraduate texts, but concise and focused enough to be taught in a single classroom session. Organized by analytical technique, Advances in Business, Operations and Product Analytics covers: Descriptive business analytics: descriptive statistics, sampling/inferential statistics, statistical quality control and probability. Predictive business analytics: forecasting, demand managing, data and text mining. Prescriptive business analytics: optimization-based modeling, simulation-based modeling, decision analysis and multi-criteria decision making. Industry-specific analytics: HR and managerial analytics, financial analytics and healthcare/life sciences. 1) The indispensable business analytics casebook: gives students and professionals a bird s eye view of all phases of the analytics process across industries. 2) Brings together new cases related to a wide spectrum of industries, applications and business functions from finance to manufacturing to healthcare. 3) Ideal for both upper-level undergraduate and introductory graduate courses in business analytics, decision analysis, management science and operations research. 4) Designed to complement popular texts on business analytics as well as analytics curriculums.
