We are now in an era of voluminous real-time data, with fast, affordable computing and data-driven decision making. Firms across the spectrum are gathering detailed real-world data on their customers, competitors, and marketplace. This vast volume of information will provide significant competitive advantage to companies and managers who can leverage these data and derive meaningful managerial insights. This course has been designed for professionals who will be using analytics on large datasets, and so is intended for students wanting to go into marketing, finance, consulting, entrepreneurship, business strategy, or operations management. More specifically, the course provides experience with applications of data analytics specific to business decisions. Usually offered every semester.
