Abstract
One fundamental change in today’s business environment is the gradual replacement of the industrial society with the information society. Information has become one of the most powerful commodities in the world today. Information systems management is increasingly becoming integrated into corporate and business strategy, with data integrity and availability improving as a result. This process is providing a rich source of financial and business data, much of which is proprietary to an organization, which managers and investors can utilize for the analysis of strategic decisions. Statistical analysis can provide inferences about the properties of the behavior of economic, financial and business data. These properties can include price processes, trends, seasonality, and distributions, which are important considerations in the modeling and analysis of data.
