The principal investigator and his colleagues have designed this conference to reach out to faculty and professionals interested in statistics for business and economics, particularly in the context of business schools. The primary aims of the conference are to improve the teaching of statistics and the level of statistical thinking in business education and practice. In addressing these themes, the conference has sought to attract faculty from both teaching and research oriented schools. In addition, major aims of the conference are to draw in faculty members from small schools and to encourage the participation of doctoral students in statistics who are planning to become faculty members in a business school. The organizing committee recognizes that funding is often not available for these groups and so will provide grants to enable these individuals to participate.The conference themes reflected in the title will be addressed by special sessions on statistical advocacy, recent research developments, the use of technology to stimulate active learning, and a panel discussion on how to improve statistical practice in business schools. The conference will also include poster sessions for participants, and software and textbook exhibits.

首席研究员和他的同事们设计了这次会议，以接触对商业和经济统计感兴趣的教师和专业人士，特别是在商学院的背景下。会议的主要目的是提高统计教学和统计思维在商业教育和实践中的水平。在讨论这些主题时，会议试图吸引来自教学和研究型学校的教师。此外，会议的主要目的是吸引来自小型学校的教员，并鼓励计划成为商学院教员的统计学博士生的参与。组织委员会认识到这些团体通常无法获得资金，因此将提供赠款以使这些个人能够参与。题目所反映的会议主题将通过以下特别会议来讨论：统计宣传、最近的研究发展、利用技术刺激主动学习，以及关于如何改进商学院统计实践的小组讨论。会议还将包括参与者的海报会议，以及软件和教科书展览。
