Course overview
The MBA with business data management concentration is designed to provide graduate students with knowledge and skills to effectively analyze large amounts of corporate data and information to support decision making and business performance management. This concentration aims to supplement the MBA core courses that discuss how managers and executives make their decisions in different business functions. To make such decisions, it is imperative that managers have the skills and knowledge to acquire appropriate data/information and transform it to actionable tactics and strategies.Applications of modern business analytics techniques, data visualization tools and sound database management design processes will be incorporated into the curriculum to give hands-on experience on viewing and manipulating data to make key business decisions such as inventory management, launching new products, acquiring new customers and others. Topics of how to properly acquire, store, manage and manipulate data in today's businesses are included. The concentration will train managers to develop and maintain a culture of data-driven decision making in the organization. The curriculum also aims to bridge the knowledge gaps between IT and non-IT workforces.
