BUS 230: Business and
Economic Research
and Communication
Course Description:
This course explores the
scientific method as used in business and economic research.
Specifically, it looks at the five main steps in the
research process:
the identification and definition of the research problem,
research design, collection of the data used to study the
research problem, statistical analysis of this data, and the
interpretation and presentation of the results of the study.
Students then apply this knowledge to an actual business
problem in order to complete an original research project.
Learning Objectives:

for every student to:
-
