COMMERCE 4DA3 - Modelling and Prescriptive Analytics

3 unit(s)

This course will enable students to gain familiarity with analytics, and then develop a comprehensive understanding of prescriptive analytics. They will develop the ability to logically model managerial problems drawn from various functional areas in a spreadsheet domain (and in some instances mathematically). Students will use the optimization and simulation modules in Analytic Solver (a spreadsheet add-in) and other software to solve the posed problems, and to analyze them to develop useful managerial insights.
