OIT 276: Data and Decisions - Accelerated (Flipped Classroom)
Accelerated Data and Decisions is a first-year MBA course in statistics and regression analysis. The course is taught using a flipped classroom model that combines extensive online materials with a more lab-based classroom approach. Traditional lecture content will be learned through online videos, simulations, and exercises, while time spent in the classroom will be discussions, problem solving, or computer lab sessions. Content covered includes sampling techniques, hypothesis testing, t-tests, linear regression, and prediction models. The group regression project is a key component of the course, and all students will learn the statistical software package R. The accelerated course is designed for students with strong quantitative backgrounds. Students taking this course need to be comfortable with mathematical notation, algebra, and basic probability. Students without quantitative backgrounds should consider enrolling in the base version of the course.

OIT 280: Operations, Innovation, and Technology I
This course is the first part of a new two quarter course series (
OIT 280 &
OIT 281) that offers students a holistic perspective on the rapidly evolving and integrated world of operations, technology and innovation.
OIT 280 covers fundamental concepts and tools for excellent operations and new content on how business models, operational processes, technology and innovation come together in the real world.
OIT 280 is more methodological, focusing on key operational processes and how they interact with business models and innovation processes.
OIT 281 is more hands on, focusing on innovation processes. In
OIT 281, students study and practice the creation of new business and operating models and engage in an innovation project. In
OIT280, students focus on learning the key analytical tools and prepare a proposal for their innovation project. The course is under construction. Don't take it if you cannot tolerate sharp turns.

OIT 333: Design for Extreme Affordability
Design for Extreme Affordability (¿Extreme¿) is for students who have a passion for social impact, and want to experience designing products and services that address issues of global poverty, through tackling real world challenges in collaboration with low-resource communities. Extreme is a two-quarter graduate level sequence cross listed by the Graduate School of Business (
OIT333/334) and the School of Engineering (
ME206A/B). The program is hosted by the d.school and open to students from all Stanford schools. This multidisciplinary team, fast paced, project based experience creates an enabling environment in which students learn to design products and services that will change the lives of the world's poorest citizens. Students work directly with course partners, and the communities they serve, on real world problems, the culmination of which is actual implementation and real impact. Topics include design thinking, product and service design, rapid prototype engineering and testin

OIT 367: Business Intelligence from Big Data
The objective of this course is to analyze real-world situations in which a significant competitive advantage can be obtained through large-scale data analysis. Particular attention is given to the actionable insights that can be derived from data and the potential pitfalls associated with data-driven approaches. Students are challenged to formulate business-relevant questions and solve them through the manipulation of large data sets. The course showcases applications from diverse domains, including advertising, eCommerce, finance, healthcare, marketing, and revenue management. Students will learn to apply technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Python, and SQL to analyze data sets and generate knowledge that informs decision-making. The course covers the fundamentals of data-driven decision-making, including statistical modeling, machine learning, and experimental design. Students are expected to integrate these topics with their existing proficiency in mathematical notation, algebra, calculus, probability, and basic statistics.

OIT 384: Biodesign Innovation: Needs Finding and Concept Creation
In this two-quarter course series (
OIT 384/5), multidisciplinary student teams from medicine, business, and engineering work together to identify real-world unmet health-related needs, invent new technologies to address them, and plan for their development and implementation into patient care. During the first quarter (winter), students select and characterize an important unmet healthcare problem, validate it through primary interviews and secondary research, and then brainstorm initial technology-based solutions. In the second quarter (spring), teams screen their ideas, select a lead solution, and move it toward the market through prototyping/technical re-risking, strategies to address healthcare-specific requirements (regulation, payment), and business planning. Final presentations are made to a panel of prominent health technology industry experts and/or investors. Class sessions include faculty-led instruction and case studies, coaching sessions by industry specialists, expert gu
