Statistics Education and the Making Statistics More Effective in Schools of Business Conferences

Since 1986, the Making Statistics More Effective in Schools of Business (MSMESB) conferences have gathered academics and interested parties from government and industry to improve the effectiveness of statistics in business and business schools. We focus on the impact of MSMESB on business statistics courses, textbooks, and software. We trace some of MSMESB's history and draw out some recommendations on which consensus seems clear. Finally, we describe some key challenges and opportunities for the future.
