Description
This course provides students with quantitative techniques (modeling, optimization, and simulation) applicable to various areas of management: finance, marketing, and accounting. The methods presented to students serve as decision-making tools by helping the future manager to obtain the best decision under predefined criteria. Both the applicability and limitations of these techniques are discussed. Students learn a variety of quantitative techniques that are useful in dealing with complexities, such as multiple objectives and uncertainty. The course focuses on applications of quantitative methods in decision-making using software such as Excel.
