Assignment Motivation
One of the important aspects of the business world is that people use graphs and data to illustrate what is going on. The business world is quantitative and it is important to realize how businesses use numbers.
However, one number by itself is not helpful to give insight. It takes at least two numbers to provide insight on something.
There are some basic strategies that people use to put numbers in to context.
• See how a number changes over time
• Compare numbers from two or more companies
• Compute a number in different ways: total sales and total sales/per employee.
This assignment is to have you look at the WSJ and find instances of where this is done in articles.
