This module is intended to provide you with a blend of theory and current practice in organisational decision making and data management. The module critically discusses the complexity of organisational decision making by identifying key concepts and relevant theories. The module examines the role of knowledge in the contemporary organisations and explore the ways it can be used for better data management. Existing models for analysing decision making processes are examined, as well as how information systems and analytical tools can be used to tap into (big) data and support and enhance decision making within different organisational contexts.

Given the importance of data analytics, this module provides students with a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of applied statistical modelling. It shows how statistical analysis can be used to solve civil and environmental engineering problems, using real-world case studies whenever possible. Exploratory data analysis, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis are main topics covered in this module. The main focus will be on developing regression models. Students will gain hands-on experience in using statistical software.

GGES3006 Data Collection & Research Methods for Sustainability and Environmental Science, is a module which aims to equip students with the skills necessary to plan and undertake independent research as part of their studies and later in their chosen careers. Students are introduced to different research methods (quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods), with an initial focus on core quantitative research methods. They are then given the option to either continue learning quantitative research methods or to switch to receiving complementary training in qualitative methods.

In the first part of the module, students receive instruction on the fundamentals of quantitative data analysis. They are provided with relevant examples in Sustainability and Environmental Science and are given an opportunity to practice with these and write a quantitative report which contributes to the assessment of the module. They are also introduced to R programming language, which will be used throughout the module for all quantitative analyses.

The second part of the module focusing on further quantitative methods aims to introduce the students to statistical techniques relevant to broader applications. The alternative option focusing on qualitative methods aims to provide training on key concepts used in qualitative research. Students are also given an opportunity to apply the skills acquired in this part of the module to a project leading to a research report, which will also form part of the assessment of the module.
