The literacy that managers need to utilize statistics & survey data for management

Livability ranking and “town I want to live in" ranking

Abstract

Various statistics and survey data may be used for business judgment, although this data may not be always correct. A certain level of market expertise and academic literacy is needed to determine whether this data is appropriate or not. This paper discusses the issues revealed by the survey data and what kind of literacy is required when comparing it for ranking of livability and ranking for what kind of town we want to live in. Conclusions are as follows. It is necessary to increase educational requirements in order to get better managers. We need to do this not by simply hiring degree holders as managers but also by encouraging executive candidates to study for degrees.
