BA 711 - Spreadsheet Modeling

(3)

In the world of business, managers continually face the need to make decisions in the face of complexity and uncertainty in which the best course of action is not obvious. This course teaches the ability to structure complex problems and formulate Excel spreadsheet decision models for the purpose of deriving optimal decisions and analytical problem solving. Assumptions for spreadsheet models may be deterministic in nature, based upon logic, experience, and/or historical data, or stochastic in nature, using techniques for addressing uncertainty. Applications include resource allocation, risk analysis, and decision making over time. Prerequisite(s): BA 710
