Course Description This course Statistics is the branch of mathematics that transforms data into useful information for decision makers. These transformations often require complex

calculations that are practical only if done by computer, so using statistics usually

means also using computers. This is especially true when dealing with the large

volumes of data that a typical business collects. Attempting to do statistics, using manual calculations for such data would be too time-consuming to benefit a

business.

In MBA 7025, you learn a set of methods and the conditions under which it is appropriate for you to use those methods. And because so many statistical methods

are practical only when you use computers, learning statistics means learning more

about using computer programs that perform statistical analyses.

Learning Outcomes of the Course:

After completing the course, students should be able to:

* Present and describe business data and information properly * Draw conclusions about large populations, using information collected from samples

* Make reliable forecasts about a business activity * Improve business processes

Mode of delivery Face-to-face

Learning outcomes of

the course unit

Course description: The course is oriented especially for MBA students and supports them on the process of

understanding the modern economy picture. With business applications, concrete

business examples, and an approach to macroeconomic theory via markets, it shows how macroeconomics can help in making better business decisions.

Although the course focuses on dry, overly complex macroeconomic models, it includes

a minimum of math, and keeps students visually engaged with figures, tables, charts,

and illustrative exhibits. Learning Outcomes:

Following this clear, concise, and highly practical course, students should: be able to grasp practical `big picture` concepts; be able to develop an understanding of what causes macroeconomic variables to

change;

be able to see how these changes affect the types of issues they will confront as a

manager;

be equipped with a macroeconomic perspective that will help them throughout their business careers.

of computing ratios in preparation for financial statement analysis, interpret the ratios and

study the efficiency, financial condition, profitability, liquidity, solvency and risk of a company using ration analysis, including vertical and horizontal common-size analysis,

trend analysis and industry comparisons. They make forecasts of the future firm

performance.

Finally, students analyze the effect of earnings management, financial shenanigans, and

choice of accounting methods and variations in level of firm disclosures on financial

statement analysis.

Course Description This course offers an understanding of how businesses can comply with the law and use

an ethical culture as a positive strategy for making successful decisions. Ignoring the

law and ethical obligations to owners, customers, and consumers exposes the company to legal and financial liability. When incorporated properly into managerial decision-

making, law and ethics can become an affirmative strategic tool that functions to

facilitate growth, creativity and competitive advantage.

In MBA 8030, students will learn how to critically analyze the law as a means to form

relationships and business organizations, manage business operations, and reduce the risk of liability. Students will also examine the application of ethics to business and

corporate governance issues.


After completing MBA 8030, students should be able to:

explain complex legal concepts in everyday language,

recognize potential legal risks and ethical problems that managers face, and how law can be used to minimize those risks,

analyze business problems and managerial responsibilities from a legal perspective, recognizing the legal ramifications of business decisions,

evaluate the policies underlying the laws and legal processes considered in this course,

apply legal doctrine to real-life business situations, and

develop a framework for analyzing ethical issues in business using various models of ethics and justice.

course unit

Course description: This course consists of four parts. In the first part we consider multiattribute

decision making under certainty. The main topics includes determination of alternatives and attributes (criteria), assessment of attributes importance,

approaches for decision making under conflicting attributes. The basics of

optimization methods including linear programming and their application such as production planning problems are also studied. The second part deals with decision

making under uncertainty. The main considered topics include decision matrices,

utility function, decision trees, Bayes’ theorem and others. The third part dealswith such approaches as Expected Utility Theory and Prospect Theory are studied to

model risk attitudes and other issues of a decision maker’s behavior. The fourth

part is devoted to more adequate modeling of decision relevant information in real-

world problems. Such concepts as fuzzy information, imprecise probability and partially reliable information are considered.

Course Objective:

1. To introduce students to importance and main concepts of decision analysis.

2. To study strategic advantages of using decision analysis in business 3. To study the basics of decision making under certainty.


4. To study the basics of decision making under uncertainty and risk. 5. To study the basics of modeling imperfect information. 6. To study how to use software for decision making and conduct analysis oft

he results

Learning Objectives:

1. Analyze a business decision situation to formulate a problem of decision making defining alternatives, states of nature, payoffs and utilities

2. Choose the appropriate utility model for solving the formulated problem. Justify the use of the chosen utility model

3. Solve the formulated problem and interpret the results 4. Conduct sensitivity analysis 5. Compute the value of perfect information 6. Construct and solve a decision tree by determining decision points and

chance points, assigning probabilities of states of nature or events, assigning payoffs and calculating expected values at chance nodes

7. Revise prior probabilities using Bayes’ theorem, introduce the revised probabilities into a decision tree

8. Calculate expected value of survey information and efficiency of imperfect information

9. Formulate the problem of multiobjective linear optimization: define criteria, decision variables, constraints.

10. Justify the choice of criteria and relative importance of each criteria 11. Solve the problem and interpret the results 12. Conduct sensitivity analysis

Learning Outcomes:

After successfully completing the course, students should be able to:

Understand what types of problems can be addressed by decision analysis and what types – not

Determine alternatives, objectives, attributes, the type of decision relevant information, outcomes, trade-offs in real-world problems

Apply the studied concepts such as expected utility, risk attitudes, value of information, tradeoffs between conflicting attributes to compare alternative decision strategies.

Represent a decision problem schematically and formulate mathematically

Determine the optimal decisions mathematically

Conduct sensitivity analysis to identify influence of parameters on results of decision analysis

Interpret results of decision analysis and explain them to managers and non- specialists.
