Yes, this is a book on business analytics - but it's really much broader. It encompasses up-to-the-minute topics like analysis of social media data, automated machine learning, visual analytics, open source tools, agile methods, and ethical issues like algorithmic bias. It's a complete and accurate guide to how analytics are currently practised in leading organizations. * Thomas H. Davenport, Babson College, USA * Provides an impressive overview of business analytics approaches to support a data-driven organisation, and runs the full gamut from understanding and analyzing big data, to designing the right business model for strategising and organising a leadership that drives analytics value creation. * Leroy White, Warwick Business School, UK * In an age where information matters for business survival, companies need to understand and appreciate the value derived from data. Business Analytics provides a toolkit for the practitioner to unlock said value. I would highly recommend it to executives and students who are thinking about or already on the analytics journey. * Yudhvir Seetharam, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa * This is a great book for introducing MBA students into the area of business analytics with up-to-date information, a comprehensive coverage of topics and clear explanations for the non-specialist. It reflects a careful approach to use analytics for creating value in business. * Martin Kunc, Southampton Business School, UK *
