Course Description

This course will change the way that you think about turning data into better decisions. The way companies make informed, effective business decisions has changed dramatically due to the incredible advances in data-collection technologies. Three of Wharton's top experts will teach you how to use data to match demand and supply in different business environments. This course will teach you how to forecast future demand uncertainty, how to make predictions about competing policy options, and how to decide the best course of action when faced with risk. This course will provide insight into real-world business problems and will show you how to use the software and methods available to tackle them quantitatively.

This course is suitable for both beginners and professionals who have never had to do analytics before.
