Course description and aims

This course gives lectures on quantitative analysis theories and methods. It also illustrates several cases about technology management. Bibliometric analysis, statistical analysis, and machine learning will be learned. The aim of this course is to acquire analytical skills which are required to learn and to conduct research on technology management.
Data science and its methodology becomes fundamentals for individuals and organizations to differentiate themselves from the others in the era of big data and information flood. In this course, students will learn both methodology of data science and practical cases with exercise and group work in order to learn basic knowledge for analysis and methodology applying analysis to managerial decision and utilizing for business.

Student learning outcomes

Students will gain an understanding of the following items from taking this course.
1) Points to note and differences in techniques for quantitative analysis methods that use statistical analysis and machine learning
2) Analysis methods for non-structured data such as text analysis and network analysis
3) Handling important data for survey research related to management of technology such as articles and patents
Also, through exercises,
4) After getting a picture of global research trends, students are expected to learn the skills to plan and propose new R&D topics and strategies.
