Business Statistics- Period 4

International business administration is a subject in which data is of prime interest. You can have great ideas on the impact of advertisement on sales, or of bonus wages on employer's performance, but the ultimate test is not the theory, but always the empirical data. These data, however, are often not fully conclusive. Sales go up on some days, but they go down on other days. Other factors make that what we see is noisy. Statistics helps you to make sense out of data. Further, today's analyses require basic skills in setting up and handling spreadsheets and visualizing data. This course therefore also addresses such general skills.
