Full of tools, tricks, and tips for solving problems in the real world, this book serves as an ideal training manual for those who are new to or intimidated by quantitative analysis and acts as an excellent refresher for those who have more experience but want to improve the quality of their data, the clarity of their graphics, and the cogency of their arguments. In addition to containing numerous updates to the contents--references, URLs, and reading lists--this second edition includes a new foreword, revised chapters, and an epilogue. Mastering the art of problem solving takes more than proficiency with basic calculations; it requires understanding how people use information, recognizing the importance of ideology, learning the art of storytelling, and acknowledging the important distinction between facts and values. Intended for executives, professors, and students, this guide addresses these and other essential skills. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

A lot of the content in this book seems obvious: “question authority,” “synthesis follows analysis,” “dig into the numbers,” etc. But just because you already know these lessons doesn’t mean you’re successfully implementing them in your writing. Groundbreaking ideas aren’t what makes this book a useful tool. The clear strategies, complete with easy-to-emulate examples, are.
This was probably written for a more academic audience, but it’s quite readable and anyone who has given a powerpoint presentation should read it. Business plans, newspaper articles, board meetings, scholarly research, and political debates would be a lot more enlightening if they followed just half of the tips in this book. ( )
