Statistical Analysis for Managerial Decisions

Abstract: Class Website: The website for this class is located on the university's Canvas system. To access this, you will need to use your Gatorlink account. I will post lecture power points, assignments and other material there. If I am not around when you need to see me, the best way to contact me is e-mail. If you have any problems with this course that you are unable to solve by consulting with me, you should next bring them to the attention of my department chairman in 351 Stuzin Hall. Objective: To build on the concepts learned in your first statistics course, teaching you how to perform very thorough statistical analyses, work with statistical software packages and, in general, be a better person. Assurance of Learning: Each program at the Warrington College of Business Administration has developed goals and objectives that express the most valued skills and knowledge that students should be able to demonstrate upon completion of the total learning experiences in that program. The following ISOM program goals and objectives that apply to QMB6358 are: Learning Goal 2: Apply appropriate problem solving and decision-making skills. 2B. Assess the outcomes of a course of action and make appropriate adjustments. Learning Goal 4: Think critically and analytically in formulating business solutions. 4A. Students will gain expanded knowledge of ever evolving technologies and processes and solidify the technical skills needed in applying theseto solve intricate problems. 4B. Students will be able to critically evaluate the impact of business decisions on stakeholders. Software: In this course we will be using the SPSS software program. This is available at a very low cost to students, and free via a remote application facility. Do not purchase SPSS until we have discussed it in class. Grading: For QMB 6358 there will be two exams plus some homework assignments. The two exams will count 40% each, with the homework totaling 20%. All out-of-class work may be performed in groups of 2-4, and handed in together. The in-class work is obviously solo.

Global Networks, Knowledge Management and World Cities

Abstract: Global markets are revolutionising the basic concepts of research, manufacturing and marketing, and developing corporate networks based on competitive alliances. In global managerial economics, knowledge management thus becomes the crucial competitive factor, creating knowledge production hubs, particularly in cities with a high level of intangible consumption, where people, capital and ideas are concentrated (consumer hubs). The level of aggregation of knowledge production and intangible consumption classifies large conurbations with unconventional metrics, establishing new types of scales for ‘world cities’.
