- Businesses typically collect large volumes of data. However, data is often meaningless until it is analysed for trends, patterns and relationships. It then becomes useful information. In this subject, students apply business modelling and spreadsheet skills to create decision models to analyse business data. Business simulations are used to relate the importance of creating value from business data to support decision making.
Learning Outcomes
- employ decision models to examine, analyse and solve business decision problems
