It provides readers with a basic understanding of the steps that each method involves, and of the facets of the analysis that require special attention. Rather than presenting an exhaustive overview of the methods or explaining them in detail, the book serves as a starting point for developing data analysis skills: it provides hands-on guidelines for conducting the most common analyses and reporting results, and includes pointers to more extensive resources. Comprehensive yet succinct, the book is brief and written in a language that everyone can understand - from students to those employed by organizations wanting to study the context in which they work. It also serves as a refresher for researchers who have learned data analysis techniques previously but who need a reminder for the specific study they are involved in.Management information systemsStatistics ComputersCorporate governanceSocial sciencesBusiness Information Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/522030Statistics for Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17010Information Systems and Communication Servicehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18008Corporate Governancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/511020Methodology of the Social Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000Management information systems.Statistics .Computers.Corporate governance.Social sciences.Business Information Systems.Statistics for Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance.Information Systems and Communication Service.Corporate Governance.Methodology of the Social Sciences.001.42Mertens Willemauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut892051Pugliese Amedeoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autRecker Janauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254925803321Quantitative Data Analysis1992242UNINA
