Edited by Cengage Learning EMEA. Andover, Hampshire - 2020

The established text Statistics for Management and Economics delivers an accessible and comprehensive overview for business students across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. With a wealth of examples and real data, this statistics textbook is essential reading for all business, management and economics courses at undergraduate and MBA level. Keller's practical three-step approach to problem-solving demonstrates how statistics are vital for today's managers and economists: it teaches students how to identify the correct technique for a problem or data type, compute the statistics and how to interpret the results meaningfully, equipping them with the practical skills they need in a world of big data, data visualization and social media.
