Business decision-making involves considerable complexity and uncertainty. This course introduces
the basic concepts in quantitative business analysis to help students gain a clear understanding of the
key elements in the decision making process. This course covers the tools and the skills to analyze and
solve problems by stressing approaches to 1) understand and question assumptions, 2) consider a
richer set of solution alternatives, and 3) consider diverse measures of performance. The teaching
methods will include lectures, skill-building exercises, qualitative class discussions, and a project.
