Data Analysis for Business: Foundations

Every day business managers have to make decisions.
In this course you will learn procedures and methods that can help make better decisions, based on descriptive statistics and data analysis. Using Statistics you can focus on the methods involved in collecting, presenting and summarizing a set of data and in developing conclusions supported by data and empirical evidence.
The course is designed to respond to the needs of a non-specialist audience and also for participants with “non-scientific” backgrounds (humanities and other classical disciplines), who have not been extensively exposed to quantitative methods and basic calculation procedures or, more generally, for people who do not feel comfortable with basic statistical techniques.
