工商管理理学学士-业务分析

当今的组织由于自动数据收集工具和高级数据库技术而淹没了大量数据。组织面临的一项重大挑战是如何利用这些海量数据通过改善客户关系，产品开发，业务计划，内部流程和/或运营来最好地实现或保持竞争优势。这就是业务分析（BA）领域发挥作用的地方。BA致力于数据驱动的决策，其最终目标是将数据转换为特定于上下文的信息，以促进高质量，及时，增值的业务决策。佛蒙特大学的文学学士学位课程旨在通过强调数据使用，技术，优化和统计分析以及预测性和探索性建模的课程来发展和提高学生的技术，定量和分析能力以及他们的批判性思维能力。数据和数
Today's organizations are drowning in vast amounts of data, the consequence of automated data collection tools and advanced database technology. A substantial challenge for organizations is how to use these vast amounts of data to best achieve or maintain a competitive advantage by improving customer relations, product development, business planning, internal processes and/or operations. This is where the field of Business Analytics (BA) comes into play. BA focuses on data-driven decision making with the ultimate goal being the conversion of data into context-specific information to facilitate high quality, timely, value-added business decisions. The BA concentration at the University of Vermont is designed to develop and improve students' technical, quantitative, and analytical abilities as well as their critical thinking skills through courses emphasizing the use of data, technology, optimization and statistical analysis, and predictive and exploratory modeling. Data and numbers are only part of the solution however - students must also understand organizational business models, information flows, and the importance of business processes within the organizational value chain. Students concentrating in BA will take classes covering content in the areas of information systems technology, quantitative methods/tools (operations research, statistics), and business applications (supply chain management, six-sigma quality, marketing research, business process improvement, etc). It is recommended that students who select the BA Concentration pursue a minor in Computer Science, Math or Statistics. The concentration is flexibly designed to align with student interests in a particular area and to incorporate content from the entire Grossman School of Business curriculum.
