This textbook is a comprehensive, step-by-step learning guide to each aspect of business analytics and its role and significance in real-life business decision-making.
Correct capture, analysis and interpretation of data can have an immense impact on business productivity.

Descriptive, predictive and prescriptive models and data mining techniques are increasingly being used to interpret large quantities of data for getting useful business insights.

Using cases from all aspects of a business venture (finance, marketing, human resource and operations), the book helps students to develop the skill to evaluate a business case scenario, understand the business problems, identify the data sources and data availability, logically think through problem-solving, use analytics techniques and application software to solve the problem and be able to interpret the results.
