Main Aims/Objectives
Statistics, to be framed in the curriculum of a degree in Management, aims at giving students an overview of the use of statistical methods in social research.
Specific Aims/Objectives
It is intended to provide students with sufficient knowledge and tools which relate to the use of logic and methods of mathematics and statistics in the quantitative study of the environment, based on the collection, interpretation and quantification of the data.
Skills to be acquired
Understand the techniques that allow collection of data in management.
Understand the methods of quantification of data.
Understand the differences between the various techniques of data analysis.
Understand the use of the results.
Teaching Procedures
Theoretical concepts are developed and solved exercises on the same application. Students will have a set of exercises to practice skills.
