The primary objective of the course is to train the ability to solve problems and manage numeric and texual data and information through a conscious use of tools for office automation (spreadsheets, databases, etc...) and networks.
D1-Knowledge and understanding skills
The logical skills to be developed concern most of all the comprehension and analysis of numerical, graphical and textual data, the formulation of questions in a formal way, the rational structuring of problem solving strategies, and the identification of exact and heuristics resolution techniques. The basic skills for the generalization and formalization of problems, the identification of significant test cases, and eventually the decomposition into sub-problems will be also provided.
D2-Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
Participants will develop the ability to apply their problem solving skills and critical analysis of quantitative information to concrete problems of the business-economic context, adopting technological methods and tools for problem solving.Students will be able to implement simple calculation techniques for data analysis and computational problem solving. The practical activities proposed will apply the theoretical knowledge to real problems.
D3-Autonomy of judgment
Participants will refine their ability to actively and critically benefit from economic-financial and scientific texts and data, and to independently set up problem-solving strategies. In particular, we want to promote a critical attitude with respect to the aggregation and presentation of statistical data, and their correct use in problem solving.
D4-Communication skills
The exercise of critical thinking and the habit of conceptual and formal clarity required by problem solving activities will contribute to maximize the communicative effectiveness of the participants. Students will acquire a language and master a suitable terminology to present and discuss issues related to the use of hardware and software systems and state-of-the-art applications, as well as the use of appropriate language to present and define the characteristics of the main computer models useful for the evaluation and management of the market and business activity.

D5-Learning ability
As a result of the analysis of the presented problems, the participants will see their capacity for modeling, resolution and synthesis of information problems in the business environment enhanced, especially those with quantitative contents. The tools and knowledge acquired will be useful for autonomously developing their skills on the use of the main IT tools (hardware and software) to evaluate, manage and analyze the business activity and the evolution of the markets.
