General information:Business analyticsis an approach to decision-making that is informed by analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. We live in an era where data-capture and data-processing capabilities are increasing exponentially. The challenge for businesses is to determine the best way to take advantage of the wealth of information potentially available to them.For example, methods such as regression models are used to describe and quantify ‘on average’ relationships (e.g. between advertising and sales), to predict new behaviours (e.g. whether a patient will react positively to a medication) and to forecast future values (e.g. next week’s web traffic). This information informs individuals on what decisions to make to benefit their business.

  • Your answers must be incorporated into sentences and paragraphs that include facts from the case study.

  • All answers must be specific for the business in the case study; marks will not be given where your essay does not relate to the business in the case study.

  • The answers to the questions in the case study must be integrated into an essay, which should include an appropriate introduction and conclusion; no marks will be given for ‘quality of essay’ if a question-answer style is presented.

  • You can present the information in the order that you feel flows best; you don’t have to present it in the order of the questions.

  • Care must be taken in all aspects of the essay, including spelling and grammar.

  • Sources must be referenced, if applicable.
