授業の概要 Course Overview

Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement

Big Data and analytics are the current “new frontier” for business. To gain competitive advantage all about innovation, superior customer service delivery, value-adding collaborations, and value chain maximization. But all these may not be enough to compete with “asset light” world beating companies like Tencent, Rakuten, Amazon, and Spotify. These companies use big data and analytics to drive their decision making.

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

What is the big data and analytics frenzy all about? When we watch Netflix or Tiktok, or merely walk with our smartphone, we are being big-data-dissected and “predicted,” i.e., about what we need to buy or watch next, whether we like it or not. The business press has added to the frenzy with jargon like “Digitization,” “AI,” “algorithms,” etc. We are awed by the science.

In this course students will learn about the foundations of data and analytics. We dive beneath the jargon into the how-to of analytics. We do practical in-class exercises on data analytics. We should no longer feel the intimidation. We must, however, do the math moves in order to appreciate the more sophisticated tools available to businesses.

到達目標 / Achievement Goal


The class will get a brief refresher on the a few statistical concepts, and focus on descriptive, predictive and prescriptive tools such as CLV, Monte Carlo simulations, SPC-SQC, OLS/Logistic regressions, and recommender systems. These are the foundations for many big data applications such as AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning. We simplify and get into the practical understanding. Students will not be a data scientist overnight from this course; that is more difficult and requires deep study of programming languages and data science concepts such as matrices and vectors. Rather, from this course students will know the foundations of data science and be able to intelligently talk to, and even manage, data scientists.

Big Data and Analytics is a 1400 minute, "quant" course. Students, please expect intense math and stats drills. Be prepared to review and use multiple Excel and stats principles. Before each class students read problem sets and mini-cases. You are expected to have your laptops and Excel at all times. Be ready to hear part-lecture, but to also participate actively in discussion to solve problems. There will be one midterm exam and one final exam.
