COURSE DESCRIPTION
This five-week course focuses on the application of statistical tools to understand relevant data leading to winning decisions. By separating facts from opinions and identifying the most influential factors and risks in areas such a marketing, operations, finance, and HR, students will formulate judgments that provide a competitive advantage to themselves and their organizations. The emphasis is on interpretive skills and making decisions within ethical principles while recognizing risks, assessing probabilities and their potential impact.
