BUS 8300 - Quantitative Research I

Credits: 3
Lecture: 45
Lab: 0

Modern business practitioners use quantitative methodologies and tools as a means to make informed business decisions and solve complex problems in the workplace. In this class, students will examine techniques for gathering, summarizing, statistically analyzing, interpreting and communicating findings of data analysis to stakeholders in the business environment. A major component to this class is the compilation of a portfolio that will demonstrate problem-solving and analytical skills necessary to succeed in business. Students will have the opportunity to defend their portfolio containing the steps taken and proof of reasoning for a recommendation of a business decision or strategy path for a real-world business problem. This portfolio can later be used to demonstrate problem-solving and analytical skills to future employers and will include both descriptive and inferential statistics with visualizations that will make the case for your final recommendation of change for the business problem presented.
