COURSE DESCRIPTION
With today’s technology, companies are able to collect tremendous amount of data with relative ease. In
fact many companies have more data than they can handle. Operationally this calls for a disciplined
thinking process that involves capturing, transformation, abstraction, design of alternatives, to approach a
decision making situation. However, the data are usually meaningless until they are analyzed for trends,
patterns, relationships and other useful information. All managers need to analyze data and make
quantitative and logic based decisions in their job. Use of computer based models can help a decision
maker immensely in all of these.
The prime objective of this course is to enable the student to develop capability in generating insights via
modeling in a wide range of realistic situations. This course offers hands on, example based approach and
introduces fundamental concepts using the spreadsheet software – Microsoft Excel 2013.
