Description

Big Data is considered as a next frontier for innovation, competition and productivity in various domains such as logistics, supply chain, finance, healthcare and retail. Big Data Analytics is the use of advance analytic techniques to make sense out of Big Data, helping business managers to gain new business insights resulting in significantly better, faster and informed decisions. The objective of this course is to teach business managers how to leverage big data for Logistics Intelligence. In order to achieve this objective, business managers have to play a "bimodal" role i.e. managers who both understand the business well and have a sufficient knowledge of how to use data and tools to make better, more analytics-driven informed decisions. This course provides the foundation for understanding the crucial role of Big Data in supporting management decision making and gaining competitive advantage. The course introduces technological and managerial issues related to business operations. It provides knowledge to conceptualize the problem and analyse qualitative and quantitative business data for operations and management purposes. It inculcates technological skills to design and develop descriptive, predictive and perspective analytic models for transforming data into useful insights to monitor, manage and improve business performance and support strategic decision making.
