Project Managing E-Learning.......2002-11-27

This book gets five stars for providing e-learning leaders a first class project management guide. Bill uses his years of IT project management experience to provide readers with solid skills and know-how to better manage risk, deadlines, roles, client satisfaction, and learning. As a project manager of both corporate and academic e-learning, I see the need for a commitment to this discipline on a daily basis..... My favorite chapter is number 10. In this chapter he details what to document in advance in a Statement of Work. This book is worth twice the price if it helps your next project be more successful! Jon Aleckson, CEO,...

tediously dull writing and uninteresting layout.......2007-03-09

A required textbook for my kid's college class. I have an MBA and am usually interested in anything having to do with business. I thumbed through this very expensive book and gratefully closed it after slogging through a few numbing pages. If you're a business teacher thinking about using it for a class, do the world a favor, put your copy out of its misery and send it to goodwills.

A Must Read Book For Anyone New to the Field of WBT.......2001-04-17

Being new to the area of WBT, I found this book to be extremely helpful in providing tips, tools and considerations for the development, and management of web-based training (WBT). I believe the authors present a very realistic view of WBT. They do not present it as a panacea for all training needs and acknowledge the tricky balance between effectively utilizing technology and paying attention to fundamental learning theory. In addition to providing valuable information to help guide the development and management of WBT, the authors incorporate effective and interactive training methods throughout the book including case study examples, interviews with people currently involved in WBT, exercises and various scenarios that together make the book extremely interesting, engaging and easy to read. I believe the book is a "must read" book for anyone new to the field of WBT.

Book Description

A critical examination of leadership theories past and present, Managing without Leadership argues that leadership as traditionally understood does not explain organizational functioning. Bounded by empiricist assumptions and methodology, and including a narrow theory of mind as symbol processor, leadership theories are unable to support their claims about leaders and their actions.

Drawing on coherentist epistemology, connectionism, and the theory of self-organizing dynamic systems, a naturalistic account of organizational functioning and organization design is explored that includes leaders as non-privileged agents in the cognitive fabric of organizational life.

Book Description

What principles should be adopted when allocating financial resources within higher education institutions? How do internal and external factors influence resource allocation systems and what impact do these systems have on institutional and individual behavior? How best should expenditure be monitored in universities and colleges?

This book provides a practical guide (from both departmental and central perspectives) to the management of financial resources in institutions of higher education. Following a review of the impact of a changing external environment, a three stage approach to the allocation of resources is outlined, namely: understanding sources of income, application of strategic considerations, and distribution to departments and faculties. Concepts of devolution and formula-based systems of allocation are considered in the context of the culture and structure of institutions, their impact on staff and the way in which institutional and individual behavior patterns are affected. A concluding chapter summarizes themes relating to the management of change and highlights managerial implications.

ROSE MARKETING ON A DAISY BUDGET WORKBOOK.......2007-08-16

Very expensive for a workbook that comprises of copied forms from other companies. In addition, this book is put together with a simple Staples like binding machine, and it is very unprofessional. I do not recommend the purchase of this book.

Book Description

This book is designed to reflect the important changes in the pedagogy of statistics brought about by the usage of computers. It takes advantage of the ability of computers to help students understand statistical methods. The book utilizes a straightforward approach and seeks to present computer usage as a tool accompanied by the changes in the practice of statistics. Simplified use of Excel and includes expected value variance of probability distribution, relationship between confidence level and likelihood of an accurate confidence interval. Dynamic use of Excel's graphics utilizes Excel's capabilities to view such topics as probability density function and normal distribution relationships. Cultural value approach is used as an alternate to the vice-versa approach as used by most other books Useful to any professional who uses quantitative analysis: financial analysts and accountants.

This is where to start learning econometrics on your own........2006-03-20

This is the BEST book for learning statistics for business or a more advanced course in econometrics (i.e., dealing with problems presented by economics data, such as heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation). If you haven't taken a probability and statistics course immediately before the intermediate econometrics course, you MUST get this book and do as many of the exercises as possible. If you're starting a job in consulting, you MUST study this book before you start your job. The text and exercises rely on EXCEL. I've been teaching this stuff for 20 years, and I didn't really learn the "Data Analysis Tools" in EXCEL until to taught a course with this book. (And the author actually answers email!) The rate of return on this book is about 1000%, i.e., for $40 your lifetime earnings will increase over $4000 (not including the time you put into studying EVERY page). Just do it!

If you want to understand...........2005-12-04

business statistics and at the same time learn how to use Excel statistical features, buy this book.

Neufeld's emphasis is very much on using the power of Excel as a "tool" to convey an good understanding of the statistics. And having recently tried to brush up my Statistics using the traditional text book approach...

So, if you're one of those who likes to really understand what's going on you'll like this book.

Great for MBA students!!!.......2004-07-27

I'm going back to school and really needed to brush up on my statistics. This book did the trick and I'll use what I learned from it for the rest of my career.

Excellent book for Graduate Business Students.......2003-09-27

This is one of the best text books in Business Statistics that I have come across which not only is theoretically excellent but also helps you master Excel. I think this author should seriously think of adding some more chapters like Conjoint analysis so that it is helpful to PhD students like me.
On a whole, an excellent text book for all graduate students. A must for all graduate business students.

One of the best.......2002-10-23

I think this is one of the best books on this topic available. I have purchased many in an effort to merge statistical knowledge with the Excel application. While Excel is a powerful tool it can be tough to figure out how to harness all that power. It is an expertly written, no-frills book. The author clearly knows how frustrating most of the other Excel books on the market can be so he takes great care to walk you though the steps to success. A one star hit for a few noticeable things missing. One topic I really would like to have seen is creation of boxplots (very tough to do in Excel). A minor issue though because this book is loaded with great infromation and step-by-step approaches.

It is a bit pricey at [$], but I think well worth the price. If you can find it second hand then all the better because there is no data or sample disc included. I usually find the lack of a disc for such an expensive book annoying; however, there is a web site for you to download the data files referenced in the book so everything makes sense. As the title suggests the focus is business statistical applications. Bottom line: great book.
