When considering a business initiative, it is necessary to start from the knowledge of the environment in which such an initiative is framed, especially the behaviour of the agents in this environment and the activity sector conditions. The course provides the student with the skills related to the understanding, handling and interpretation of quantitative techniques that allow the analysis of the information coming from the company environment from a practical approach. This will allow the student to have objective, evidence-based criteria to develop their strategies related to their business initiatives in a changing and uncertain environment.
