Presenting and interpreting information for decision-making

Narrated lesson · press play

Managers drown in raw numbers, so the skill that scores marks is turning those numbers into a clear picture. In this lesson you will choose the right chart for the job, calculate the degrees of a pie chart with the category-over-total-times-360 formula, draw a bar chart, and read a line graph to advise a decision. You will also learn to spot a misleading graph, because presentation can hide the truth as easily as it can reveal it. Everything is built on real N$ figures from a Namibian tuck shop.
