Learning outcomes
The course aims at providing participants with the knowledge of statistical tools useful for analysing business phenomena, both with reference to market dynamics and management aspects. The contents of the course are structured so as to broaden the participants' statistical knowledge and strengthen the awareness with which they apply the statistical methods to the business context. The course aims to provide the tools for understanding and contributing to all stages of the statistical production process: from the data collection stage and the integration of statistical sources of data, to the analysis and production of results and evidences useful for the decision-making process of firms. The applicative approach of the course favours the development of skills for analysing and interpreting business phenomena through a critical use of statistical methodology.

Examination Methods
The assessment of learning outcomes consists in a written examination and, possibly, an oral examination.
Examination purposes
The written examination assesses the level of knowledge of the course topics, the ability to apply statistical methods for business and the interpretation of results.
Structure of the examination
The examination consists of multiple choice questions, questions which requires a numerical response, and open-ended questions. All kinds of questions may be focussed on theoretical and methodological issues, may consist in exercises, or may require the student to discuss and analyse some practical problem using notions and tools learned throughout the course.
All students getting a grade equal to or larger than 15/30 are allowed to take an optional oral examination which completes the evaluation of the acquired knowledge. The final grade may be equal, higher or lower than the grade got on the written part of the exam.
Assessment criteria
The examination score is on a 30-point scale (passing mark: 18).
