Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the basic knowledge for the collection, management and analysis of data of interest in the managerial field. Students' previous statistical knowledge will be integrated with the main statistical sampling techniques for data collection, some of the most widespread techniques for the analysis of time series data, the multiple linear regression, and the most recent techniques for data science in the business context. All these techniques will be discussed in specific areas of application: market research, customer analysis, management control, production process control, sales analysis and forecasting. Special attention will be devoted to some of the most widespread software for data science and business intelligence. At the end of the course, students should demonstrate a good level of understanding both theoretically and practically of the main statistical methods for the analysis of business phenomena, in the light of the available data and the managerial needs. They should also be able to interpret critically the gathered information and the results obtained from the analyses with the aim to supply useful suggestions in support of business decisions.
