What is Business Analytics?

Business Analytics (BA) is a study of statistical and operational information given out / produced by any organization or a business. Business Analytics requires quantitative methods and evidence-based data for business modeling and decision making. For example such data could be from a sales department cross checked with marketing department and production department in a given company. Once the analysis is complete, the conclusion / the solution / the prediction will be modeled back into business operations to maximize the output. Hence the term ‘data driven’ organizations / businesses emerge.
