Informing Decisions Using Spreadsheets

About the Book

Everyone makes decisions in every organization. This book shows how to inform the more important organizational decisions using spreadsheets, a little VBA, and the standard Microsoft Excel add-in, Solver. No other add-ins are employed. We follow a start-up organization through several decision areas, including, multi-period production planning, pricing, economic order quantity, forecasting customer waiting times, modeling extreme outcomes, and designing a bespoke monoline insurance fund. Workbooks keyed to these areas are resident at https://github.com/wgfoote/book-decision/tree/main/materials ..

About the Author

William Foote
William Foote

My work meanders the seams between economics, finance, and underlying value chains, commodities, operations, and strategies. 

I have had the privilege of being on the faculties of Pace, Clarkson, Syracuse Universities, Le Moyne and Manhattan College where I taught analytics, finance, and economics in evolving online and executive learning programs. My goal has always been to prepare students to take leadership positions through the rigorous application of data driven decision making.

During my career, I have helped build an energy and commodities practice in Europe for Ernst & Young, led the quantitative capital markets team at Deloitte, and helped to establish new practices in enterprise risk management at Deloitte, Charles River Associates, and Alvarez & Marsal, as well as in my own firm.

Thanks,

Bill Foote
