The aim of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge of data processing and information technology, and to develop practical skills in the use of the Office package, in particular Excel and Power Pivot. There will be an emphasis on learning methods to formulate, analyse and solve economics/business issues
The course is divided into three main parts:
• Building financial models and conducting analyses in Excel and Power Pivot,
• Databases and data modelling
• General introduction to the use of modern information technology, management systems and Business Intelligence
In each main part, theory, principles and methods will be illustrated. A booklet with practical exercises linked to the three main parts of the course is available on Canvas alongside suggested answers to the exercises.
