General Information

Overview

With today’s digitisation and technology development, many organisations can easily collect and consolidate tremendous amounts of data and store them in databases and data warehouses. In this unit, you will use various computational techniques and/or methods to evaluate and analyse “big” data in real-time for trends, patterns, classification, relationships, and other useful information. You will learn how to examine data sets for statistical inference and conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis, predictive modelling, regression, data mining, and optimisation. You will also use these analyses in relation to evaluating your proposed solution to a workplace problem. In addition, this unit is designed to develop critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills fundamental to business law, business ethics and the ethical use of data. You will demonstrate your ability to analyse legal and ethical issues in a business context and apply your legal knowledge to make informed business decisions.
