Using data to make strategic decisions

In light of the vast availability of data and the growth of AI tools associated with the digital revolution, being prepared to find and evaluate these data, and to use AI tools, is crucial.

It provides methods for thinking and framing problems and using data to corroborate or refute hypotheses, predictions, or conjectures. AI tools support the formulation and test of decision-making theories. Overall, the program offers a highly efficient path to learning theoretical reasoning, statistical and data analysis, and AI tools that managers need to make their decisions.
