IIM KASHIPUR MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Business Analytics for Managers Programme Outline Companies today are capturing terabytes of data and information about customers, suppliers, employees and operations. Leading companies are increasingly applying sophisticated analytical tools on this rich data to make better and faster management decisions. Application of analytical techniques in shorter time span to create numbers-driven business decision models has therefore become a core skill for managers. Managers who understand and apply analytical and statistical techniques can act quickly on the data, and generate new impressive insights about customer behavior, employee productivity and effectiveness of marketing campaigns and supplier performance. Unfortunately, a lot of managers find analytics a difficult science to master. Some find it outright intimidating. This program overall is aimed to demystify the field of analytics. With focus on applied industry relevant examples, hands-on tutorials and business relevant cases from Harvard, the program will empower participants with the toolkit, vocabulary and skills to analyze large data and prepare decision models quickly and effectively.
