Von der hinteren Coverseite

This innovative new textbook, co-authored by an established academic and a leading practitioner, is the first to bring together issues of cloud computing, business intelligence and big data analytics in order to explore how organisations use cloud technology to analyse data and make decisions. In addition to offering an up-to-date exploration of key issues relating to data privacy and ethics, information governance, and the future of analytics, the text describes the options available in deploying analytic solutions to the cloud and draws on real-world, international examples from companies such as Rolls Royce, Lego, Volkswagen and Samsung.

Combining academic and practitioner perspectives that are crucial to the understanding of this growing field, Business Analytics acts an ideal core text for undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA modules on Big Data, Business and Data Analytics, and Business Intelligence, as well as functioning as a supplementary text for modules in Marketing Analytics. The book is also an invaluable resource for practitioners and will quickly enable the next generation of 'Information Builders' within organisations to understand innovative cloud-based analytic solutions.

Key features include:
  • An engaging and accessible explanation of the development and evolution of cloud-based computing and its role in contemporary organisations
  • Appeals to both technical and non-technical students
  • A clear strategic framework to help students make decisions around appropriate cloud-based analytics solutions
  • Embeds ethical considerations when using sensitive data into the discussion of uses of big data
  • Provides students with a clear understanding of the challenges to organisations in managing and governing this new wave of analytics on the cloud
  • A companion website offering PowerPoint lecture slides and exam questions to accompany each chapter of the book
