Data Analysis and Decision Making 4th Edition, S. Christian Albright

DATA ANALYSIS AND DECISION MAKING is a teach-by-example approach, learner-friendly writing style, and complete Excel integration focusing on data analysis, modeling, and spreadsheet use in statistics and management science. The Premium Online Content Website (accessed by a unique code with every new book) includes links to the following add-ins: the Palisade Decision Tools Suite (@RISK, StatTools, PrecisionTree, TopRank, RISKOptimizer, NeuralTools, and Evolver); and SolverTable, allowing users to do sensitivity analysis. All of the add-ins is revised for Excel 2007 and notes about Excel 2010 are added where applicable.

If you are familiar with Winston-Albright's other books, this has a familiar look and feel. This book requires a solid basic knowledge of statistics and a good grasp of Excel, but does not require any mathematical intuitive leaps. Some linear programmings problems, some forecasting problems (you can download a trial version of the Palisades software if you don't get the CD), and nice treatment of regression analysis. Also, multiple regressions can now be done with the standard data analysis plugin for Excel, so you don't even need the Palisades software for much of the book.

It should be noted that if you are looking specifically for an Excel book, this isn't it since it does not show the line by line spreadsheet code. This would have made this book more popular.

Over 1000 pages of solid well written material. Although there's no calculus, it's certainly no "Dummies" book. There's a good 300 page explanation of confidence interval estimation through regression analysis with lots of practical advice about sorting through variables and deciding which ones really matter.

This book fits into the big gap between introductory texts and theory. It is also a good follow-up to Albright's "Practical Management Science," which was more focused on classic linear programming examples. This one is a little more statistical.

Managing Human Resources 9th Edition, Wayne Cascio

Wayne Cascio's Managing Human Resources, 9e is perfect for the general management student whose job inevitably will involve responsibility for managing people. It explicitly links the relationship between productivity, quality of work life, and profits to various human resource management activities and as such, strengthens the students' perception of human resource management as an important function, which affects individuals, organizations, and society. It is research-based and contains strong links to the applicability of this research to real business situations.

This is a well-written, clear, and practical text that covers all major areas of human resource management. It includes real-world examples and case studies that demonstrate clearly the topic at hand. Unlike many business texts, this one also addresses the perspectives of small businesses (which comprise over 90% of US businesses--why is this area so neglected?). Another big plus is that Managing Human Resources puts HR management into the context of the wider business objectives, integrating it with overall competitive strategies rather than separating the HR function from finance, marketing, or operations.

Easy to read, timely, informative, and taking an approach that is integrated with the broader business strategy...everything a useful text should be.

Even homemakers and the retired elderly have leadership roles that can be enhanced by the info in this book. Easy, enjoyable read with tons of applicable, easy-to-understand information whether you are a CEO or an office worker. I highly recommend this book for your library.
