This
course aims to provide a survey of quantitative techniques commonly used to
provide insight into business and management decisions. Particularly important,
is the understanding of the assumptions and limitations of quantitative techniques
and how these techniques can be used to facilitate practical decision-making.
Consequently, emphasis would be placed on formulation, model building, and
interpretation of results rather than theory.
The course is decision and action oriented, not technique and numbers driven hence the role of the computer and application software, and the use of case studies will be emphasized. Topics covered within the sessions include the following: Describing Data: Graphs and Tables, Summary Measures, Probability concepts and Applications, Decision Analysis, Time Series Analysis and Forecasting, Simulation Models and Game Theory applied to business

This course deals with the methodology and follow-up to develop a research project applied to the business environment, as a requirement for obtaining a degree. The result of the applied research project is the proposal of an academic document, in addition to a proof of concept that can be subsequently applied in a company. Of all the courses you take at Atlantis University, this will be the most practical. Eighty percent of your grade will be based on your project's follow-up, the research process you have conducted, as well as the results of it.
The course sessions will follow the natural order of a research process, such as defining the problem to be solved, conducting a review of the state-of-the-art literature, defining a project proposal, defining the research process, clarifying the scope of the project, planning the project and its deliverables, and delivering the required results.- Teacher: Jorge Betancourt
