Course objectives
The objective is to build competency of independent application of chosen methods of statistical analysis on data typical for the management field. This course is intended for students of Business Management master degree and assumes knowledge of basic statistical analyses from the bachelor degree. These analyses are not discussed on the theoretical level, but are applied on real data. The tool of acquiring the above-mentioned competency is work with real data in SPSS program, where our work will start with a research question, operationalized into hypotheses. Data will be processed using univariate analyses and afterwards the hypotheses will be tested using bivariate and multivariate analyses. Using real data should support, among others the transfer to a knowledge society.

1. independent data analyses,
2. formulating research questions and their operationalization into hypotheses,
3. cleaning the data and understanding them through the cleaning and descriptive statistics,
4. testing hypotheses, especially using the bivariate and multivariate statistics,
5. interpreting the obtained results, creating new knowledge.
