Powell and Batt's emphasis on using simple spreadsheet models to gain business insight (which is, after all, the name of the game) is what makes this book stand head and shoulders above the rest. This clear and practical book deserves a place on the shelf of every business analyst.""-Jonathan Koomey, PhD, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Stanford University, author of Turning Numbers into Knowledge: Mastering the Art of Problem SolvDecision makingBusiness planningBusinessComputer simulationElectronic spreadsheetsDecision making.Business planning.BusinessComputer simulation.Electronic spreadsheets.658.4658.40352Powell Stephen G1702787Batt Robert J1702788MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830051503321Modeling for insight4087580UNINA
