BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE AND ANALYTICS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Business intelligence
and analytics requires a
strong database
foundation, a set of
analytic tools, and an
involved management
team that can ask
intelligent questions
and analyze data.

Business Analytics Overview
(Business) Analytics is the use of:
data,
information technology,
statistical analysis,
quantitative methods, and
mathematical or computer-based models
to help managers gain improved insight about
their business operations and make better, fact-
based decisions.
Pricing
◦ setting prices for consumer and industrial goods, government
contracts, and maintenance contracts
Customer segmentation
◦ identifying and targeting key customer groups in retail, insurance,
and credit card industries
Merchandising
◦ determining brands to buy, quantities, and allocations
Location
◦ finding the best location for bank branches and ATMs, or where to
service industrial equipment
Social Media
◦ understand trends and customer perceptions; assist marketing
managers and product designers
Business intelligence (1960s)
◦ Ability to store and analyse data
“How many units did we sell last month?”
“What products did customers buy and how much?”
“How many credit transactions are completed today?”
Information Systems (a modern discipline of BI)
Statistics (Regression, Forecast, Data Mining)
Operations research/Management science
◦ Using math/computer “model” to analyse and find solution of complex
decision problems
Decision support systems (BI + ORMS)
Data management
◦ Data storage
Model management
◦ Stat tools for building, manipulate, solve
models
Communication management
◦ Interface for user to interact with data
Benefits
◦ …reduced costs, better risk management, faster
decisions, better productivity and enhanced bottom-line
performance such as profitability and customer
satisfaction.
Challenges
◦ …lack of understanding of how to use analytics,
competing business priorities, insufficient analytical skills,
difficulty in getting good data and sharing information,
and not understanding the benefits versus perceived
costs of analytics studies.
