Course overview
There are two units studied in this course:
Management Environment - 10 credits
The overall theme of the module is ‘Think’ and aims to use constructive confrontation to challenge assumptions that are made within businesses and the economy. Concepts of micro and macroeconomics in the context of the business environment of management are introduced along with their application in the real world.
The module divides into two equal parts:
- The first is concerned with the micro environment of business.
- The second with the macro context.
Business Intelligence - 10 credits
In today’s world surrounded by information technology, vast amounts of data are created and stored each day. The data itself is not information, unless it is processed in a way that extracts particular insights and values that can be used in various ways. To do this, we need models and algorithms to collect, analyse, and evaluate data. This process of extracting information from the raw data is better known as data analysis.
This module seeks to teach students the fundamental concepts and techniques of data analysis while having an overall theme of Critical Statistics, in that such analysis when presented by others while able to inform and enlighten can also mislead and deceive.
