Customer and Marketing Analytics

Marketing professionals and consultants are charged with a wide variety of responsibilities that require them to have a good understanding of the workings of the market (at both the micro- and macro-level), evaluate the impact of (and therefore demonstrate the value of) past marketing activities, and use these insights in the development of new marketing programmes. The objective of this course is to familiarize you with some of the main descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics methods that have now become fundamental to marketing decision making as well as to high-level marketing and strategy consulting engagements. The course guides you through the development and use of these tools without getting "bogged down" in the technical details. Fundamental to this course is the view that the way to truly appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of the various tools - so that you can be an "intelligent consumer" of them - is to gain first-hand experience as an end-user modeller.

The Data-Driven Enterprise

We are currently seeing three important trends in business. First, an increasing number of firms are engaging with the concept of customer centricity with the implication that much of the growth dynamic of their business is framed in terms of customer acquisition, retention, and development. Second, the digitization of business has led to the potential for an extraordinary atomization of many decisions. Third, the development of machine-learning and AI methods means that firms are developing more decision automation systems. This course explores how firms should organize for data-driven decision making in today's customer-centric, digitally enabled world. We explore the basic enabling technologies, review the key analytical tools, identify the information and decision silos that prevent firms from taking a truly customer-centric approach to their activities, and explore the organizational and technological challenges of breaking down the barriers associated with these silos.
