Consequently, the problems of using primary sources of information remained in the book limited only to pointing main methods. The textbook consists of five chapters. Every chapter comprises the short introduction to problems being reviewed. Discussion problems and numerical exercises can be found at the end of each chapter. Numerous cases of analytic activities are included in chapters. Some of these examples are based on the computer software available at most business schools or accessible free via Internet.
