Course Objectives/Course Description

 

Course Description:  This paper is offered as a common core course in the third trimester. The course aims to develop a research orientation among students and thereby making their managerial decision-making process scientific. The course covers all elements of business research process including problem discovery, literature review, research design, data collection, and data analysis using software applications, interpretation and reporting of results. It provides a knowledge base on steps in a research process needed to conceptualize, define, design and execute a business research project.

Course Objectives: 

At the end of the course, students should be able:

1.To identify management problems and convert them into research problems.

2.To choose appropriate research methods based on the research problem.

3.To identify suitable measures and sources of information for literature review and data collection.

4.To construct research instruments for collecting the required data.

5.To recommend suitable courses of action, based on statistical analysis of the data.

Learning Outcome

CO1: Develop the research proposal for the selected research problem.

CO2: Apply different methods of research based on the selected research problem

CO3: Identify suitable measures and sources of information for data collection.

CO4: Construct research instruments for collecting the required data.

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:30
No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:100
Credits:3

Course Objectives/Course Description

 

Financial Econometric Analysis is offered as an elective course in the fourth trimester with 3 credits. The course is designed to provide students with the understanding of econometrics for analyzing financial and economic data and how to interpret the results for managerial decision making. The course focuses on application-oriented learning and thus will follow hands-on pedagogy and real-life data and problems where students can apply econometrics tools for analysis.

The course seeks to familiarize the students with basic econometric concepts and tools which find common application in the analysis of economic and financial data. The course will take hands-on approach to help students get comfortable with handling and working with datasets in econometric software (EViews, Gretl, JASP or Jamovi). The course will facilitate conducting empirical econometric research using economic and financial data.

Learning Outcome

CO1: Identify the potential of data analysis in decision making and become comfortable with extracting and handling data

CO2: Apply econometric procedures to determine data characteristics

CO3: Compare the different approaches for assessing relationships between economic/financial variables for a defined decision making purpose

CO4: Construct econometric models

CO5: Appraise the implications of improper analysis for decision making
