Description
Business analytics is concerned with the use of data, quantitative analysis, predictive models and fact-based management to create value for organisations. With the tremendous growth in the amount of data being generated by organisations, government and society, it is crucial that the leaders of tomorrow understand the proper tools to be able to make evidence-based decisions. In Foundations of Business Analysis, students are provided with the foundations of business analytics, as well as an introduction to techniques and methods required to undertake practical problems. Students can ultimately gain the necessary knowledge to initiate and conduct small scale business analytics projects and professionally communicate their findings to a diverse set of stakeholders.
