Digital, Data and Decision-Making Skills (N1629)

Autumn teaching

Contemporary managers in business and organisations must be digital and data savvy. They should possess a working knowledge of the twofold (enabling and hindering) role of digitalization and datafication. They must be able to perform their work and solve problems using a variety of computer tools and make data-driven decisions.

This module offers you the opportunity to acquire these critical understandings and skills, with a particular emphasis on practical learning.
