| Abstract: | Although in the past the extent to which managers used the array of quantitative techniques at their disposal was little, the growth in the number of MBA graduates entering the job market has the potential to change this low usage. A survey of 600 British MBA graduates indicates that almost two thirds were users of some form of statistical techniques. Given that all respondents would have been exposed to the techniques during their MBA course, the awareness and usage levels even among those using statistics was low. The reasons given for this low usage are explored, and the respondents' perceptions of what the statistical content of the ideal MBA course should be are reported. |
