Problem: Pretend that you have asked your boss (me) to support your request for tuition assistance for the MBA program, and given him a copy of the curriculum. He responds that he is generally supportive, but doesn't see the relationship between some of the courses, statistics being one of them, and being an effective manager. He has requested a written explanation of the relationship between what you learn in this course and being an effective manager. Convince him that this course has value for future managers.
