Excellent Starting Point for Business students.......2001-09-08

I've used this textbook in the Athabasca University MBA program. The "Quantitative Analysis" course is an introductory course in statistics, with a focus on business applications. This text is perfect, as the examples used are directly relevant to businesspeople. There are also many questions and exercises, with the answers provided in the back of the book for all the odd-numbered questions. This allows students to practice and check their answers, while still allowing the professor to assign even-numbered questions as practice work to be checked by her later. The text starts with basic statistics, moves into probability, and continues all the way into multiple regression and non-parametric statistics. Real data sets are used liberally, and there are tutorials for SAS, SPSS, Minitab and ASP. Each section clearly defines critical terms offset from the body of the text, and the over 1000 exercises use data from real-world examples. Each chapter has exercises divided into "Learning the Mechanics" (straightforward applications of new concepts) and "Applying the Concepts" (applications of concepts to the solution of real-world problems). If you're a business student having difficulty with statistics, I'd recommend this book as an excellent primary or companion text.

Fine statistical teaching.......2000-07-28

Great book for beginners, and a good reference for more advanced statistical professionals. Logically structured, and written in real-world terms, this book is easy to read and follow. Sincich provides the reader with an understanding of statistical application in the every day world, bringing statistics out of the textbook and into reality. A superb guide to fundamental statistical principles.

Very good book for learning and consulting.......1999-05-31

It's a very useful book for learning statistics focused on business. Based on a solid theory, it gives you many practical case studies. The approach is not superficial, but the beginners will find a safe path for improvement and for the comprehension of the subjects.

Book Description

European traders first appeared in India at the end of the fifteenth century and established corporate enterprises in the region, such as the English and Dutch East India companies. This volume considers how, over a span of three centuries, the Indian economy expanded and was integrated into the premodern world economy as a result of these interactions. By documenting the existing literature, the author provides a fascinating overview of the impact of European trade on the precolonial Indian economy that will be of value to students of Indian, European and colonial history.

Customer Reviews:

Useful, and comparatively accessible.......2003-05-21

This is an up-to-date and concise account of the commercial activities of European traders in Asia between 1500 and 1800. While the pages of tables, graphs and pie charts may make all but the real enthusiast's eyes glaze over, the figures tend to illustrate rather than dominate - unlike in some of the denser tomes in the subject area.

The approach is largely comparative, and covers both private and chartered trading by all major European players in East Asia (including the Danish and Ostend Companies). There is an emphasis upon material relating to the Dutch East India Company, presumably deriving from the author's own expertise in this area; while this is undoubtedly useful and even a refreshing change from the usual weighting towards the English/British EIC, it can at times unbalance the argument and betray hints of bias. Furthermore, Prakash is given to some repetition of phrasing, which makes reading it that little bit more difficult.

In all, extremely useful - but not for the casual reader of Indian history, who would be advised to start with more general histories of the period first.

Book Description

'e-Business: a jargon-free practical guide' presents a clear, second-generation account of how your business can harness the latest technology to flourish in the transformed commercial climate of the 21st century.

With its emphasis firmly on the business and marketing implications of new technology, this book adopts a hands-on, practical approach, systematically demonstrating how and why businesses should adapt their operations to make the very most of the exciting opportunities available.

In simple, jargon-free language, it addresses such vital questions as:

* What is e-business and how does it fit into the corporate landscape?
* How should marketers adopt e-marketing and why?
* What are the processes and stages of developing an e-business strategy?
* What are the key issues you will face and how will you overcome them?
* What about legislation?
* Who is doing e-marketing and e-business well and badly?

'e-Business' is packed with case-studies from well-known international companies, examples, screen grabs, relevant models and checklists. Each chapter meanwhile contains handy hints and tips, examples, exercises and a summary to consolidate learning and highlight key points.

Informative, pertinent and easy-to-use, the book is ideal for students on relevant courses or those undertaking in-house training, and is absolutely essential for any practitioner needing a hands-on guide to strategy and best practice in today's altered commercial environment.
