From the Publisher:

Enhanced Managerial Decision Making - business focus has been integrated throughout the text. Chapter vignettes have been updated and international examples have been added throughout the text, emphasizing the international scope of business today. Students get a more "real-world" approach to business research topics and how they are used in business, which better prepares them for the workplace.
Enhanced Interpretation of Data - Updated Measurement and Multivariate Chapters. This provides students with an enhanced experience in the interpretation of data; the authors explain what the data means by focusing on the analysis of the data through the use of new examples and clearer explanations.
Organization of topics. Previously chapter 15 included both Data Preparation and preliminary Analysis; as a response to reviewer comments, these topics have been separated into two separate chapters making it easier for instructors to teach and assign to students.
