5.0 out of 5 stars It's a mistake to buy any other book, December 12, 1999
It's rare to read a text book cover to cover, but you'll find it easy to do with Marakas' DSS text. He writes as if he is lecturing in class - the examples are clear (and lively, which is rare in academia!), the language flows and the presentation of the material makes it easy even for beginners in the field (like me) to understand. Don't miss out on this text!

2.0 out of 5 stars Pen or writing implement?, May 18, 2001
By A Customer
Why does he use all these unnecessary, fancy, confusing, mind bending words? The author loses and confuses the reader.
