Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) has introduced the MSc in Business Analytics program in collaboration with the prestigious Robert Gordon University (RGU), Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
Business Analytics is one of the most used Buzzword in today’s tech savvy, data overloaded dynamic business landscape. Business Analytics Abbreviated as BA, is the study of data through the combination of human skills, technologies, applications and processes such as statistical and operations analysis, the formation of predictive models, application of optimisation techniques by which organisations are able to make better informed decisions based on past performances, facts, data and statistical evidence and formulate strategic plans to drive business decisions.
In a corporate sector locally and globally where only the smartest will survive, organisations are looking out for data, information, competitor information and environmental data which will enable an organisation to make informed decisions and formulate strategies based on the analysis of such data. A comprehensive analysis of such business data will provide an organisation an edge over their competition.
