Introduction:

This course is the first of the two courses in term 1 which attempt to introduce students to
the basics of quantitative methods, in the context of their relevance and application for
managerial (business) decision making. We begin by looking look at the randomness
intrinsic to most of the decision variables confronted by the business manager. It introduces
the fundamental concepts, techniques and frameworks for analyzing a random variable
with the intent to infer its expected behavior. In the process the course introduces you to
the management of uncertainty in managerial decision making.

In the first couple of sessions, we discuss situations where the variable under consideration
is discrete in nature (for instance, the number of children in a family, the number of visitors
in a fair). We understand how to describe such variables using summary statistics and the
use of summary statistics in decision making. Following this we discuss continuous
variables (examples of these may include height or weight of students in a class) and
introduce you to the concept of probability or chance in explaining their occurrence/non-
occurrence. We then move on to certain technical aspects like axioms of probability,
probability computations, probability distributions, summary measures of probability
distributions etc. Understanding of these topics is essential to applying these concepts in
decision making situations.
All the concepts are consistently discussed in the context of business decision making with
the help of caselets and case problems.
The course will stress on conceptual understanding rather than mere knowledge of
procedures, foster active learning in the classroom using technology for developing
conceptual understanding and analyzing data.

4. Learning and Teaching Activities:
● Approach to Learning and Teaching in the Course
This course emphasizes on both the acquisition and application of knowledge. It is believed that
learning occurs most effectively when theory is taught in conjunction with application. This is
reflected in the way we go about in this course by combining conceptual knowledge about their
application in management (decision making). Timely feedback from you will help us in making
learning more outcome centric and interesting. We encourage you to actively take responsibility for
your own learning and to critically evaluate the concepts presented.
● Learning Activities and Teaching Strategies
The delivery is designed to convey theoretical and practical knowledge. The lectures/discussions will
be presented in both online and offline mode and recorded each week. If you cannot attend the lecture
you should make sure to listen to the lecture recording prior to the next class or your tutorial for that
week. The tutorials involve problem solving and discussions to enable transfer of skills to the world
of work. In class participation is one of the most important contributors to learning and understanding.
You are expected to participate in cases/discussions and prepare well before the class.

5.1 Details of Submission/Presentation

End term Examination: This will consist of conceptual and Numerical application based questions with an objective to assess all the COs of
the course.

Quiz: There will be MCQ type quizzes to assess CO1 and CO2.

Problem solving Assignment: Selective exercises from Text book will be given as two Home assignments with Deadlines for submission
5.2 Assessment Feedback
Feedback on student performance from formative and summative assessment tasks will be provided to students in a timely manner. Assessment tasks
completed within the teaching period of a course, other than a final assessment, will be assessed and students provided with feedback, with or without a
provisional result, within 10 working days of submission, under normal circumstances. Feedback on continuous assessment tasks, if any, will be provided
prior to the midpoint of the course.
Note: Appeal of grade – students who wish to appeal their end term marks should initially discuss their concerns with their tutor. If they are still dissatisfied
they should then make contact with the Controller of Examination within working business days from the date of notification of the result. Such a written
request must contain details of the grounds on which the objection is based. Requests must include a summary of the reasons the student believes his or her
assessment work deserves a higher mark. These reasons must be directly related to the academic quality of the work.
5.3 Quality Assurance
IILM is actively monitoring student learning and quality of the student experience in all its programs. A random selection of completed assessment tasks may
be used for quality assurance, such as to determine the extent to which program learning goals are being achieved. The information is required for
accreditation purposes, and aggregated findings will be used to inform changes aimed at improving the quality of Business School programs.

7. Student feedback
The Institute places high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhances the students’ experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety
of ways including on-going engagement with faculty, the use of online questionnaires and interaction with the Dean/appropriate authority. This course is
regularly revised and updated to reflect student feedback.
8. Student Responsibilities and Conduct
Students are expected to be familiar with and adhere to Institute's policies in relation to class attendance and general conduct and behaviour, including
maintaining a safe, respectful environment; and to understand their obligations in relation to workload, assessment and keeping informed.
Workload: It is expected that you will spend at least ten to twelve hours per week studying for a course. This time should be made up of reading, research,
working on exercises and problems, online activities and attending classes. In periods where you need to complete assignments or prepare for examinations,
the workload may be greater. We strongly encourage you to connect with your MS Teams Portal in the first week of semester.
Attendance: Your regular and punctual attendance at lectures and seminars or in online learning activities is expected in this course. The Institute reserves the
right to refuse final assessment to those students who fails to attend the required minimum number of classes where attendance and participation is required as
part of the learning process (e.g., tutorials, flipped classroom sessions, seminars, labs, etc.).
General Conduct and Behavior: You are expected to conduct yourself with consideration and respect for the needs of your fellow students and teaching staff.
Conduct which unduly disrupts or interferes with a class, such as ringing or talking on mobile phones, is not acceptable and students may be asked to leave
the class.
Keeping Informed: You should take note of all announcements made in lectures, tutorials or on the course web site. From time to time, the Institute will send
important announcements to your university e-mail address without providing you with a paper copy. You will be deemed to have received this information.
It is also your responsibility to keep the Institute informed of all changes to your contact details.
