Acknowledgments

Special thanks to Ms. Marianne Tan, who worked with us at our Executive MBA offices in Singapore. This book was actually her idea—she took the notes I give to students and handed them (to my great pleasure!) to Ms. CJ Hwu, Senior Publishing Editor at John Wiley & Sons (Asia). I am grateful to both for their support in this endeavor.

I am grateful also to Ms. Lucie Alary for the countless hours spent proofreading the chapters’ drafts, before they took the shape of a book. In her meticulous manner, she read the text, made suggestions, and pointed out many details that have improved the book a great deal. She was also gracious enough to read the new chapters of this second edition.

Also thanks to my friends Avi Miller and Manny Zachodin. They acted as my sounding board as I developed the material for my Excel workshops and through the process of writing this book. They have been teaching MBA and other workshops with me for the last 15 years using the material in this book. Their wisdom, experience, and feedback enabled me to improve the quality of many of the topics covered. I am grateful for their time, effort, and of course, their friendship.

The usual disclaimer is in order: Any mistakes in the work are my own.
