Authors

Abstract
The Business Statistics course is taught to MBA students in the first year in India and although many statistics teachers enjoy teaching the subject, they find that the joy of gaining insights and discovering hidden trends is totally lost to students. Hence, communicating in the correct way to keep the students interested is very important. A literature review of the past 30 years shows that statistics education has moved from computing information to understanding the data, engaging the student, using software and then applying the tools in the real world. As we move into a more digital world, gathering data is not a problem, analysing, getting insights and making predictions on the said data to gain advantage in business has become the urgent need of the hour. Hence, it becomes imperative for students of management to learn to use data wisely for decision making. This paper aims to uncover the secrets to imparting statistical knowledge to students through a review of papers for the past thirty years and hence act as a guide for the teachers of tomorrow.
