Business Strategy and Analytics (MSIN0093)

Strategy is making interdependent decisions that result in better outcomes. Organizations are increasingly considering how data can be used to inform strategic thinking and decisions.

In this module, students will investigate data and the organisation from three paths. First, students will grapple with what data represents and how it is structured to build a functional understanding on its uses and limitations. Second, students will cover analytical methods that are useful in studying the impact of strategic decisions. Third, students will look at data and the organization, to understand the strategic value of data itself and wider ethical implications.

The goal is for students not only to learn practical skills and data analytical methods, but also to learn how to critically understand an uncertain problem, provide a framing for it, and arrive at viable solutions.
