Analytics @ HBS

Posted by lavzz on September 3, 2009

Have successfully completed 2 weeks of the pre- MBA analytics program at HBS and its been a great experience so far. A brief of the courses done in the last 2 weeks-

Accounting
We learnt about Balance sheets, profit and loss statements, cash flow statements and methods to interpret them.

Finance
A beginning course on how to look at the financial strength of a company through its past performance and future forecasts. We also looked at valuations and how much a company is worth if it is being bought off or sold.

Quantitative methods
This course focussed on basic statistical methods like hypothesis testing, regression etc. As an engineer, I found this course somewhat redundant but for people from other backgrounds, it is a good course.

And of course, not to mention all the social events that were held over the last 2 weeks to help us get involved and start knowing the others in our batch.
The RC starts on 8th of Sep and am very excited to see how that goes.
