Description

Organisations and the environments they operate in become increasingly more complex, and information technology has become an indispensable component of the decision making processes that allow us to deal with this complexity. Business analytics use innovative IT techniques to model organisations and to reveal the impact of alternative choices on the quality of service, operational costs, etc. The applications of Business Analytics include strategic planning, market analysis, resource allocation and scheduling, online adaptation and operational control.
