Course description and aims

While the use of data is highly expected in business, correct understanding about methodology of data analysis is required for appropriate decision-making.
In this lecture, students learn basic knowledge for quantitative analysis, especially statistical analysis, in Management of Technology.

Student learning outcomes

The goals of this course are as follows:
- To understand the basics of data analysis so that students can use them to solve business problems.
- To be able to program for elementary data analysis, especially statistical analysis.

Keywords

Statistics, data science, quantitative analysis, descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, regression analysis

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Lectures provide the knowledge on elementary data analysis and programming exercises is scheduled after each topic.
In the programming exercises, students overview the flow of data analysis using Python and develop the ability applying data analysis to business problems.
