Business Intelligence, Analytics, and Data Science: A Managerial Perspective 4th Edition

Needed for my MIS class and this rental was very inexpensive. The book is in good condition as well.

Ordered as part of my Business Analytics course in my Masters. This book is detailed and gives real life examples from a managerial perspective. Helped me understand Project Management concepts better and was really helpful in getting good scores.Pros: Detailed, informative.Cons: ExpensiveThis book is really good if you are looking to understand Business Analytics from Managerial perspective

A highly readable and instructive textbook that really helped me grasp the issue.

Great book bought it for class and now realize it is better to purchase school book on ebook instead of hard copy.

I would agree with other reviews that the book is poorly written and needs editing. The authors seem to ramble on about how great analytics and analytics tools are, but provides little too no information on what they are or how to actually perform/interpret them. Painful to read. So many words but with little actual content. Full of jargon and acronyms that are not previously defined. Definitions and descriptions provide no examples to aid understanding. Surprised that Pearson would put their name to this.

Great book but dont buy/rent for kindle if you dont have a kindle. Not compatible with mac kindle, waste of money!

Great source for my courses.

This is not a traditional eBook, it was just photocopied, pieced together [poorly] and uploaded by ??..I can see the divisions of the pieces of pages, not even merged properly. Its really a piece of junk, but gets the job done. One extremely annoying problem that you may not be able to overcome is it was assembled improperly, the 1 page shows in portrait, and then the actual reading material is in landscape. I have a rotating monitor, doesn't work, Change the monitor to landscape and the book[Kindle] reverses the view to portrait. So I just spin my monitor on its axle w/o changing the view mode so I can read the book. Forget about changing the fonts or anything, this is just some scanned pages, and not a actual eBook in any terms, so the pages are just photos ( they did not put it through a OCR to change it back into a document format to create a real eBook with real text, so you cant copy/paste any lines or adjust fonts etc.. I wanted to save some money so In that sense I did save $20 off of renting it from Pearson vs owning it for future reference; other than that after I read the whole thing for my class I will see if its actually worth keeping.
