Business Analytics

(22 semester hours)

The burgeoning field of business analytics (often called business intelligence) is the latest battlefield for corporations seeking to gain competitive advantage or to simply survive in a fiercely competitive business environment. The focus is on collecting data in real-time about a firm's many business processes (such as filling orders, hiring employees, or purchasing supplies) and keeping track of exactly how the firm is performing in these areas. Managers can react quickly to rapidly changing circumstances as the need arises. The most sophisticated firms are attempting to go beyond this and to determine the effects of potential changes in their business processes.
