Overview
This course covers the theory, tools, and techniques associated with systems thinking approach which allows students to understand the relationship and connections between components of a system, instead of looking at the individual components one by one. Moreover, the course contains the learning materials, practices and case studies to develop the knowledge and skills of the students in the field of data science and its application in the real business/work world. The students will learn how to apply analytical techniques and scientific principles to extract valuable information from business data for decision-making, strategic planning.
This program helps students to develop understanding and proficiency in system dynamics simulation to evaluate the future of one business in the real world by system thinking approach to consider the linear and nonlinear impacts between different components of one business.
Learning Goals
- Systems Thinking and Business Dynamics
- Learn the relevance of taking a wider system perspective in examining challenges and understand why decisions and responses change naturally over time
- Learn to examine the possible impacts of policy changes and technological innovations on business environment
Tools for System Dynamics Modeling
- Develop skills in the use of simple mapping and spreadsheets to elicit mental models of system structures, and be able to anticipate from their structures, the dynamic behavior of simple closed‐loop systems
- Understanding statistical association and the difference between causation and correlation
Machine Learning (ML) process, supervised vs unsupervised, validation approaches, over/ under fitting
- Introduction to basic Clustering approaches
- Introduction to basic Classification approaches
