    • Financial Analytics
      In today's information age, managers increasingly rely on analytics to make financial decisions that have a profound impact on the performance of their organizations. Often business analysts produce the analytics that top management use to support their decision making, but top management must also understand the strengths and weaknesses of analytics if they are to use them effectively to support their decisions. The objective of this course is to equip you with the frameworks, tools, and methodologies necessary to build and/or be an educated user of analytics for financial decision making. The course is suitable for students seeking a career in finance, but also for students with broader interests who wish to strengthen their analytic skills, and it does not require any quantitative background other than what is covered in the MBA core courses
