Synopsis

The guide to targeting and leveraging business opportunities using big data & analytics

Analytics in a Big Data World reveals how to tap into the powerful tool of data analytics to create a strategic advantage and identify new business opportunities.

  • Includes numerous case studies on risk management, fraud detection, customer relationship management, and web analytics
  • Offers the results of research and the author's personal experience in banking, retail, and government
  • Contains an overview of the visionary ideas and current developments on the strategic use of analytics for business
  • Covers the topic of data analytics in easy-to-understand terms without an undo emphasis on mathematics and the minutiae of statistical analysis

For organizations looking to enhance their capabilities via data analytics, this resource is the go-to reference for leveraging data to enhance business capabilities.

The science of analytics is a way to get inside customers' minds and understand the complex behavioral dynamics that affect business. Analytics in a Big Data World advances the discussion of big data by moving it out of the theoretical realm and into everyday business practice.

It has been said that data is the new oil an abundant resource of great value. The difference between data and oil, as top analytics researcher Bart Baesens understands, is that everyone has data. In areas like risk management, fraud detection, and customer relationship management, the potential gains afforded by big data analytics are well worth exploring. Reading Analytics in a Big Data World is the first step in extracting the valuable information waiting in your databases.

By taking a practitioner's perspective, this book shows readers how to use the latest developments and new ideas in big data to build an analytics strategy with practical applications.
