Business Analytics Challenge (CMCE30005)

This capstone subject for the Business Analytics major provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate and apply a framework for a business analytics project. Students can choose to work as part of a group with an industry partner to address a complex problem or challenge the organisation faces, or on an individual analytics project. The project will enable students to work with a range of structured and/or unstructured data sources in which different analytics techniques might be applied to address an organisational or policy challenge.  

Over the course of the subject students will be provided with guidance on project planning and design, techniques of identifying and appropriating relevant data, and application of analytic approaches learned over the course of the major.

The emphasis of the subject is on translating the concepts, models and theory derived from business and economics disciplines to frame a business or policy challenge, design an analytics project and apply tools of business analytics in practical situations.
