The Essential Role of Mathematics and Statistics in Business Decision-Making
Abstract
Mathematics
and Statistics are essential in today’s fast-paced, dynamic, uncertain,
highly competitive global business environment. Dr. Burns will use a
wide range of examples from his career as Vice President of R&D and
Strategic Planning at General Motors to illustrate the importance of
analytical tools and how best to apply them in making business
decisions.
