Quantitative Analysis for Management

by Barry Render, Ralph M. Stair Jr., Michael E. Hanna

A solid foundation in quantitative methods and management science. Render/Stair/Hanna puts an emphasis on model building and computer applications to show readers how the techniques presented in the text are used in business. This text’s use of software also allows readers to focus on the managerial problem, while spending less time on the mathematical details of the algorithms. In the eleventh edition, Excel 2010 has been incorporated throughout the text and an even greater emphasis on modeling is provided.

Easy to navigate and great to use for school work. Render provides additional resources for the reader to better grasp some of the more complex problems facing todays manager. Online access to the Ad-In Excel QM and Solver along with a series of complimentary problems and formular all ready in place to help guide you through equations.

GOD! This textbook is a discovery! It's not like other average/academic textbooks, it's a very practical and time-saving and to the point.

The chapter discusses most topics that a typical Operations research book does, but this book has awesome examples, and the spreadsheet use is extensive and in every chapter.

The big prize is the awesome software Excel QM, which could be found here:

You just plug in the numbers and the sheet performs all the calculations and draws all the graphs for you :)

For a text book it was good. I found it more interesting than most that I have had over the last few years. It was understandable. Whether this is due to the fact I am more familiar with the subject matter, more comfortable with the mathematics involved, or the authors clarity in getting the subject across to students, I don't know. I actually enjoyed the class and this text was a huge part of that class.

I used this text for school and found it explained concepts well and provided detailed examples. The book was laid out so you could first figure out an example for yourself, then walk through it step-by-step with their instructions. Also both manual and programmatic solutions were provided, with a lot of guidance for using Excel.
