UK-based University of Essex on Thursday announced a free online masterclass series on how data can revolutionize businesses, services and products. An online masterclass titled ‘Flooded by Data: What Can’t Do with Huge Volumes of Data’ is to be held on 25 April.
The free online masterclass will cover key topics in data analysis for business. Sessions will include Business Analytics, Data in Agrifood Business, International Marketing, Big Data in Finance and show how small businesses can also use data. The institute claims that the participants who attend four out of the five sessions will receive a certificate of participation. Interested people can sign-up at www.essex.ac.uk.
The 90-minute masterclass will be hosted by a variety of experts from the Essex Business School, who will talk about how data affects every area of business and what it looks like in both theory and practice.
Professor Ram Ramanathan, Director of the MSc Business Analytics course at Essex, is one of the speakers. Professor Ramanathan leads a major European research project on improving the resource efficiency of agribusiness supply chains by reducing waste through Big Data and Internet of Things sensors, informs the university in its release.
Ramanathan points out that this session has great relevance in the Indian context, adding, “Big data analytics can prevent about 67 million tonnes of food from being wasted in India every year, and is valued at around Rs 92,000 crore. This will be enough to fill the stomach of the whole of Bihar for one year.
Professor Ramanathan said, “The aim of our courses is to introduce students to the study of business and data at the postgraduate level, as well as to the current important topics in these research areas.” “These issues are absolutely central to Indian businesses at the moment as they seek to harness the power of data ethically,” he says.
In addition, there are other sessions on various topics, including, How data can help agribusiness understand the full length of their supply chain with Professor Ramakrishnan Ramanathan, in International Marketing with Dr. Rebecca (Yu) Lee Data and methodological issues for new insights. And see how even the smallest businesses collect data with Dr. Marta Fernandez de Arroyabe Arrange.
