Quantitative Methods in Business. Study Guide

To your attention is invited to transfer the 5th English publication in America and Western European management training manual, which will help learn to think quantitative categories, build quantitative argument and interpret numerical results.
Despite the computerization of the educational process, the manual pursues the common goal for all - receiving information on the topic under study. Since the outlined material has a practical orientation, it will make it easier for even those managers who have no ability to mathematical abstraction, evidence and discussions.
The book is divided into five parts, which reveal the subject in a logical sequence: from the fundamental concept to obtain practical results. Part I describes the conceptual basis of quantitative methods and the most important quantitative instruments. Part II shows how to collect, summarize and submit quantitative data. Part III offers ways to use existing information to solve specific types of financial and managerial tasks. Part IV is devoted to the conditions of uncertainty that will require acquaintance with the theory of probability and statistical analysis. Part V shows how to solve some common management tasks (such as decision making, quality control, stock management, project management, queues and imitation of processes) where uncertainty is present.
Each chapter in addition to the main material describes the practical application of ideas, tasks with solutions and tasks for independent work, as well as cases and research projects.
The book is addressed to college students, participants of professional and special courses on this subject. It will also be extremely useful for practitioners, financiers, economists, for those who are planning, and for other categories of workers responsible for the mathematical substantiation of decisions taken
