Introduction
In this unit, you will explore emerging technologies, focusing on their applications in Business Analytics. You will learn how these technologies can improve data-driven decision-making and operations in businesses globally and locally. You will examine the functionality, operations, and capabilities of these technologies, understanding their roles in Business Analytics through industry case studies. We will also address their impact and ethical considerations in business scenarios. Additionally, you will gain practical skills in integrating these technologies in business contexts which will prepare you to effectively deploy advanced technologies in Business Analytics.
