Forecasting and Scenario Planning Using Monte Carlo Simulation

Section: 601

Course Description

This course explores how forecasting and scenario planning are used to support management's decision making. The course focuses on how data analysis techniques and tools are useful for organizing and categorizing large volumes of information for use by executives to make strategic business decisions and it exposes students to Monte Carlo Simulation and Optimization techniques to support strategic business decisions. The course then focuses on communicating this information to inform management and the board about top strategic risk issues.
