This module introduces students to big data, analytics and visualisation linked to business applications. The module also enables students to solve a variety of complex data-driven business problems using computer software tools, examples R and Gephi. The focus of the module thus is twofold: 1) building relative theoretical understandings, 2) and practice analytics for data-driven decision making for business operations and problems.

The module emphasises two broad theoretical and practical domains, which are specified as follows:
Theoretical understanding: This part provides the theoretical foundations of big data, analytics, network analysis and unstructured data. It further strengthens the effective use of data visualisation techniques, digitisation and their links with business applications. The theoretical foundations are further linked with a variety of business domains such as supply chains, network analytics and operations management.
Practical business applications: Students learn how to explore and solve business problems using R and Gephi software platforms. Students are involved through workshops and they actively solve variety of exercises that prepare them to be data-driven managers and executives capable of utilising data, analytics and digital networks for optimising their business performance.
