Review
"A practical and user-friendly guide to the application of statistics."
Professor Peter Harris, Principal Lecturer, Financial Lecturer, Oxford Brookes University.

Product Description
'Stats to Go' is a user-friendly guide for hospitality, leisure and tourism students who need to learn statistics and statistical techniques.
'Stats to go' is an ideal companion to hospitality, leisure and tourism studies as the breadth of coverage supports all taught numerical aspects of these types of course. Examples from hospitality, leisure and tourism organizations:
* licensed premises
* fast food outlets
* hotels
* theme parks
and their environments are used to illustrate key issues of the text.
The area of quantitative methods is one which many students find unapproachable or daunting. With the use of a clear learning structure, and a user friendly, non-theoretical approach, Buglear has created a text which students and lecturers alike will find indispensable.
Minimal use of technical language and provides clear definitions of essential terms and notations
Employs thematic and illustrative examples based on a variety of hospitality contexts
Emphasises 'interpretation' rather than 'technique'

Disappointed
2 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
Not at all what I expected - FAR too clinical - I am not a statitician and I felt like I need a refresher course in statistics to plow through this book. What I HAD expected was an overview of statistics of the industry which would help determine marketing efforts for the future. Much too difficult to use for that purpose.
