| Description | Quantitative analysis is a key activity in developing successful business strategies in the areas of transportation and logistics management. Successful business strategies are generally based on information collected in systematic studies of market behaviour and the preferences of players within the market. Such information is used to make predictions of market requirements, so that business strategies can be evaluated before they are actually implemented. It is therefore important that students majoring in transport and logistics understand the principles of quantitative analysis and know how to do conduct their own quantitative analysis of the market place. This unit of study provides an introduction to the theory and principles of quantitative analysis of transport and logistics markets through lectures, tutorials, and practical assessments requiring the analysis of various types of data. Classes and assessments are designed so that the student will learn how to undertake quantitative research in a practical manner relevant to the transportation and logistics sectors. |
