| Business Analytics (22 hours) | |
| Thematic Sequence available within minor. Available to all students. | |
| Business Analytics is the latest battleground for corporations seeking to gain competitive advantage or simply to survive in a fiercely competitive business environment. It can be roughly divided into two disciplines: (1) Descriptive analytics, in which practitioners collect data in real time about a firm’s many business processes (filling orders, hiring employees, purchasing supplies, etc.) and keep track of exactly how the firm is performing in these areas. Descriptive analytics allow managers to react quickly to rapidly changing circumstances as the need arises. (2) Predictive analytics, in which analysts go beyond descriptions and attempt to determine the effects of potential changes in their business processes. The predictive analyst helps firms to anticipate customer needs, create opportunities, and beat their competition. The “Business Analytics” minor complements many majors, including all majors offered by FSB. Through this minor, students gain the managerial, analytical, and technical skills to (1) gather data in real time; (2) store and organize those data; (3) analyze those data using quantitative methods; and (4) use the resulting information to make decisions that will allow an organization to gain competitive advantage.
