Data-Driven Decisions in Digital Markets
The Internet and related information technologies have revolutionized the ways of doing business. In this age of “everything digital” – Apps, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Yelp, etc. – every business is trying to stay ahead by developing a better understanding of the driving forces and the related changes in business models. In doing so, businesses are keen to analyze, for example, the sheer amount of data (“traces”) collected from different touch points – Google Glass, Apple Watch, smart phones, or simple computing devices – and make critical business decisions. Our goal in this class is to discuss the changes in business models that have been enabled by Internet technologies, and to get exposed to hands-on data analyses to quantify the impact these technologies and business models have on firms, economies, and people.
Web Data Analytics

By combining analytics skills with business acumen, it is geared toward providing students with the highly desired background – MBA/Masters with data analytics knowledge!The emphasis of the course will be on data savviness and practical usefulness.
