Data Analysis for Managers with Minitab

By Harry V. Roberts

The author develops and illustrates statistical ideas in the context of the kinds of practical data analysis that managers actually undertake, starting with the simple applications to quality control. MINITAB is used throughout allowing students to perform meaningful statistical computations and to concentrate on learning how statistics can be used effectively in business. Written for introductory courses in business statistics (especially at MBA level), the new edition offers a simpler yet more systematic and thorough approach to data analysis and incorporates new features of MINITAB Release 7, especially control chart commands.

Excellent, practical book

I taught a course to MBA students using a previous edition of this book. The students loved it, since it gave them practical skills they could use.Another much different book which I have used is "Statistics" by Freedman et. al. This is an elementary book and does not emphasize practical skills so much, but gives very good understanding of statistical principles and pitfalls. Even though elementary, some of our Ph.D. students could have benefited from a few of the insights.
