Goal : The aim of this training is to enhance your data analysis and model-building skills, not to transform you into expert management scientists, nor statisticians, by the end of this training. Rather, you should have mastered a set of skills which will enable you to approach a large range of problems in a more structured way. Equally important, you should become informed and critical users of quantitative tools developed for you by others, whether by in-house specialists or external consultants. You should have gained the confidence to look behind their numbers at the underlying assumptions, and challenge these where appropriate.

Audience : Executives, Managers or Project Managers who need to make and undserstand statistics from MBA or EMBA program.

Prerequisites : Bachelor level in mathematics (integration and derivates have to be mastered).
