Business Analytics combines the fields of Management, Business and Computer Science. The business aspect entails both a high-level understanding of the business as well as the practical limitations that exist. The analytical part involves understanding data, studying statistics and computational methods. This combination of fields allows analysts to bridge the gap between management and technology. The idea is to assess past business decisions and strategies to make the current and future strategies more efficient to drive the business performance.
