A Breakdown on the Forecasts and Obstructions ofQuantitative Techniques for Managerial and MarketingDecision Making in 21st Century Businesses
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study examines various relevant management and marketing literatures to evaluate the relative significance and obstacles of quantitative techniques for managerial and marketing decision making in 21st-century businesses. The aim is to identify factors that either facilitate or hinder the application of quantitative techniques. The outcomes align with earlier studies conducted by other investigators and professionals. According to the authors, businesses in the twenty-first century are eager to apply mathematics and statistics through cutting-edge computer and device software and apps, and they have a good amount of faith in quantitative models. One important finding is that employees in management and marketing need to be more enthusiastic about upcoming courses and training sessions on the application of quantitative methods. These kinds of programs ought to offer ways to get rid of various obstacles to decision-making. With any luck, this study on secondary data analysis will produce some important insights into how to make and keep the proper decisions for issues with management and marketing. Anticipating the results of this research will accelerate a certain level of commercial success.
