The field of Computer Science is experiencing a transition from computation-intensive to data-intensive problems, wherein data is produced in massive amounts by large sensor networks, new data acquisition techniques, simulations, and social networks. Efficiently extracting, interpreting, and learning from very large datasets requires a new generation of scalable algorithms as well as new data management technologies. Business and Big Data Analytics is about harnessing the power of data for new insights. The book covers the breadth of activities and methods and tools that Data Scientists/Analysts use. The content focuses on concepts, principles and practical applications that are applicable to any industry and technology environment, and the learning is supported and explained with examples that you can replicate using open-source software. In this book(s), we explore key data analysis and management techniques, which applied to massive datasets are the cornerstone that enables real-time decision-making in distributed environments, business intelligence in the web, and scientific discovery at large scale. The book provides the readers with a combination of technical and managerial course work needed for dealing with future challenges in the technology and data-driven global environment. Course work includes use of various software tools and applications in Finance, Marketing, Logistics and Supply Chain, Human Resources, Operations, Manufacturing, Information Systems, and Economics using these tools. “Big Data is the new frontier for innovation, competition and productivity” – McKinsey & Co. Big Data is a reality today. Companies that want to be innovative and maximize their revenue potential must have the right solution in place so that they can harness the volume, velocity and variety of data coming into their organization and leverage actionable insight from that data. Today’s phenomenal growth of data requires that companies not only understand big data to decipher the information that counts, but also – more importantly – the possibilities of what they can do with it using big data analytics. An MBA/MS/M.Sc. in Business Analytics and Big Data is intended for hands-on Big Data Specialists, for people in leadership roles working with Big Data and for Entrepreneurs. The curriculum of this program is highly multi-disciplinary, with courses from A (Analytics), B (Business) and C (Computer Science) and projects to practice and implement the integration of these three aspects. Students graduate with an understanding of how to manage industry, product, consumer behaviour and social media data and deliver it in formats that can be used to make decisions. The book is written keeping in view the syllabi of various Universities/Institutions offering “Business and Big Data Analytics” as a subject of Study/Specialization/Research in their Programs viz., MBA, MMS, M.Mgt, MCA, ME/BE (CSE, CE, IT), M.Tech./B.Tech. (CSE, CE, IT), M.Sc. (Business Analytics), MS (Management Science), BBA, PGDM, PGPBA, CPBAE, PGDBA, Certificate Programs, PG Certificate in Big Data Engineering and others.
