This course aims to foster a deep understanding of the use of decision-making models for business analytics. Political, cultural, and strategic perspectives on a broad range of managerial situations will be examined. These foundations give managers insights into challenges and appropriate treatments when analyzing, managing, and leading organizations. Decision-making in some uncertain situations will also be dealt with in detail, with an emphasis on models widely used in diverse industries and functional areas, including operations, finance, accounting, and marketing. In addition to introducing commonly‐used and advanced quantitative models, the course aims to develop an awareness of the kinds of problems that can be tackled using available methods and software, and raise awareness of some of the issues in gathering relevant data. The course will impact how a manager thinks about available data and real-world problems and how these can be dealt with qualitatively or quantitatively to provide more informed management decisions.

The management of enterprises creates many multi-faceted challenges for the general manager. A general manager needs to understand the internal workings of a firm, assess and develop strategies, and understand globalization. While these issues are distinct, they are also very much intertwined. This course will provide an integrated view of these challenges and show that successful management in the 21st century requires a combination of insights gained from studying economics, sociology, psychology, and politics. This course investigates the different perspectives a general manager must take, how to integrate those perspectives, and what the role of leadership is in setting and realizing goals to deal with the challenges faced by a major global firm operating in complex global markets.
