Now updated with new measurement methods and new examples, How to Measure Anything shows managers how to inform themselves in order to make less risky, more profitable business decisions

• Simplifies overall content while still making the more technical applications available to those readers who want to dig deeper
• Continues to boldly assert that any perception of "immeasurability" is based on certain popular misconceptions about measurement and measurement methods
• Shows the common reasoning for calling something immeasurable, and sets out to correct those ideas
• Offers practical methods for measuring a variety of "intangibles"
• Provides an online database (www.howtomeasureanything.com) of downloadable, practical examples worked out in detailed spreadsheets
