Obiettivo dell'insegnamento è quello di sviluppare nello studente l'attitudine ad utilizzare il metodo statistico per supportare i processi decisionali dell'azienda. Dato un determinato quesito manageriale, lo studente dovrà essere in grado di tradurlo in linguaggio statistico e di produrre la migliore informazione, utilizzando i dati a disposizione ed applicando il metodo statistico più idoneo. Lo studente acquisirà la conoscenza di alcuni metodi statistici e sarà in grado di applicarli a problemi concreti. Inoltre sarà in grado di orientarsi tra le principali fonti di dati sull'azienda prodotte in Italia, sia a livello micro che a livello macro.
The student who successfully completes the course will become familiar with the use of statistical thinking in the business decision-making process. Given a managerial decision problem, the student will be able to translate it into statistical language in order to produce the best information for supporting the managerial decision. The student will acquire statistical tools and be able to use them to address empirical problems.
