Experimentation lies at the heart of innovation and involves a test-and-learn approach. Changes in how companies interact with customers make field experiments a more economically feasible way to learn about marketing questions. The rapid rise of the “test-and-learn” philosophy in marketing has created a huge demand for those who can design, execute, and analyze experiments. The objective of this course is to provide students with hands-on experience with experiments for business decision making. Experiments involve creating a hypothesis, designing and executing a test of that hypothesis, analyzing the results, and determining next steps.
