Download files – Just click on the files below.  Please note that whilst the studies use IBM’s SPSS™ software, we are not currently able to download them onto this website, so all the files below are Excel files (*.xlsx).  Guidance on how to load these into SPSS is provided in the book. You may not get the labels though e.g. Course will be recorded as ‘1’ or ‘2’ rather than as ‘Business Studies’.  We’re working on that.
