Module Summary

The ability to reason with numbers is not only important for a career in management, but can be a
fascinating part of intellectual development. The course intends to equip participants with the skills
required to interpret and understand quantitative data, and provide a foundation for the knowledge
required in other subjects. We will take a broad view of how statistical techniques have developed
as a means for humans to cope with risk and uncertainty, and look at realworld examples of how
organisations use, abuse, and are fooled by numerical data.
