With the Online MBA with Data Analytics, you will acquire the knowledge to address the growing area of data science to work effectively at a senior, strategic management level, empowering organisations to achieve their objectives.
In this day and age, data is very easy to gather and store; it's knowing what to do with it that presents an obstacle. You'll explore methods and techniques that enable identification of data to answer strategically important questions. You'll review organisational infrastructures for capturing and managing large volumes of data, and identify database and cloud-based technologies that enhance it. Finally, you'll explore issues such as ethics, privacy, and security.
The course will equip students with the ability to address the gap many organisations have when it comes to managing big data – the lack of a structured and systematic approach to leveraging the value of big data. You will move through the well-proven CRoss Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) methodology for data analytics. You will also develop a strong appreciation of the impact of big data and explore methods and techniques that will enable your organisation to identify the most important data to answer strategically important questions and thus link big data to innovation.
