About the Course

A leader in a data driven world requires the knowledge of both data-related (statistical) methods and of appropriate models to use that data. This Business Analytics class focuses on the latter: it introduces students to analytical frameworks used for decision making though Excel modeling. These include Linear and Integer Optimization, Decision Analysis, and Risk modeling. For each methodology students are first exposed to the basic mechanics, and then apply the methodology to real-world business problems using Excel. Emphasis will be not on the "how-to" of Excel, but rather on formulating problems, translating those formulations into useful models, optimizing and/or displaying the models, and interpreting results. The course will prepare managers who are comfortable with translating trade-offs into models, understanding the output of the software, and who are appreciative of quantitative approaches to decision making. Business analytics makes extensive use of data and modeling to drive decision making in organizations. This class focuses on introducing students to analytical frameworks used for decision making to make sense of the data, starting from the basics of Excel and working up to advanced modeling techniques....

Really great course and I learned a lot. Good production value and the work gets more challenging from problem set to problem set. I'll be better at Excel from having taken this course. The only drawback is I wish that I'd have known the last couple of weeks require the "Solver" add-in. I used the solver add-in, but somewhere in the process the version of solver changed in my excel installation....and it was REALLY buggy. Basically, solver was nearly unusable on my Excel, which made doing the work really more frustrating and distracting. Other than that, great course - hope Solver gets better!
