Business Analytics & Decisions

3 units

This course focuses on developing improved decision-making through analytic methods and applied critical thinking. While the course's foundation lies in the tools of probability, statistics and quantitative methods, we will strive to help mid/senior managers understand the strengths (and weaknesses) of using quantitative information (data), as well as develop frameworks and mindset to both utilize and question the kinds of analytics they may encounter from the executive vantage point. It will also guide them in what kinds of analytics they should be asking for, given the current state of modern data science and methodology.
