Abstract

Shouldn''t quantitative analysis - the results of which influence many managerial decisions - be held to ''total quality'' and ''zero defect'' standards? The author suggests that managers become exacting consumers of quantitative analysis, demanding and creating the proper environment for a high-quality product without logical or methodological defects. He shows managers how they can become more effective users of analysis, he identifies the ingredients of a sound quantitative analysis methodology, and he recommends ways to improve the quality of analysis in organizations.
