Description

In modern business's big data era, within organisations information is created and transferred within and across organisations. Appropriately skilled staff are critical to optimising the value of the data via the insights and decision-making capability it brings. In this subject, students learn about specific emerging technologies (big data, data analytics, AI and cloud computing) and how the underlying concepts of these are intrinsically intertwined to influence the design, measurement, control and monitoring of supply chains. This subject gives students an overview of the Internet of Things 4.0 methods and how they can be applied in business applications to build digital supply chains that are more efficient, transparent and effective. Additionally, it provides students the fundamental knowledge of ethical implications of data capture, usage, storage and privacy across different contexts.
