At Harvard Business School you’ll learn course concepts in the context of performing A/B testing on a website, using sampling to check warehouse inventory, predicting home video sales based on box office performance, and forecasting staffing needs for a hotel front desk. Throughout the HBX Business Analytics course, you will receive clear guidance on how to implement analytical techniques in Excel.
