This well-loved copy of “Introduction to Statistics For Business Decisions” by Robert Schlaifer offers a glimpse into the early days of modern business statistics. Published in 1961, this pioneering work was one of the first to bridge the gap between theoretical statistics and practical applications in the business world. Schlaifer, a renowned mathematician and operations researcher, brought his expertise to bear on topics like decision theory, probability models, and data analysis – concepts that would become increasingly vital as businesses sought to leverage data for competitive advantage.

For collectors and readers alike, this copy represents an opportunity to engage with a foundational text that helped shape the field of business statistics as we know it today.
