| Course content and structure |
|
Taking the perspective of an information manager, this course
aims to provide students with the ability to use techniques and
tools of data analytics that are relevant for the modern
data-driven organization and its management. This involves
approaches to manipulate and analyse quantitative business data,
relating to fields such as employee analytics, operation analytics,
or consumer analytics, using example datasets and software tools.
Related to the analysis, the course also addresses relevant formats
and structures of data repositories, such as tables, files and
databases, as well as common meta-data and data exchange standards.
We address options and challenges with the visualization of data
and the related question of how to communicate results. Further
topics include: issues of making decisions based on a reduced,
quantified view on the business context and reflect on the future
challenges of a (big-) data driven business.
