Managerial Decision Analysis Using Business Intelligence

Catalog description

This course presents an introduction to the statistical and management science techniques that are most commonly applied by managers in both the public and private sectors. It focuses on three main themes: data analysis, optimization, and decision making under uncertainty. The content is covered in order to provide the opportunity to see tools that many learners probably use often (e.g., descriptive and graphical methods plus forecasting) and then move into topics with which learners may not be as familiar. Students will be exposed to descriptive analytics, predictive analytics (e.g., forecasting), prescriptive analytics (e.g., optimization), and emerging trends in Business Intelligence.
