The explosive growth in the amount of data created in the world by humans and machines continues to accelerate. This data deluge coupled with a societal awareness of the strategic value of data, has engendered a global business paradigm shift: the advent of a data-driven business era. In this new data-driven business world, business entrepreneurs and managers must get used to evolving in a volatile, fast changing and technology-driven business environment, and thus acquire new forms of expertise that are at the junction of management, advanced statistics, computer science but also artificial intelligence. This module aims at providing a solid multi-disciplinary training to help students equip with the necessary skill sets to solve today’s business problems through the use of business analytics techniques, and become an essential part of their future companies’ decision-making process.
