Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course is blended with a MOOC where we will go through 4 techniques and practical cases where business analytical tasks are solved with research instruments and data analysis approaches. We will discuss these cases, practise methods that can apply, and look at the business context of each case. The course is targeted at those aiming at business-oriented jobs in marketing, sales and service analytics, etc., and requires a large amount of independent study. https://www.datacamp.com/courses/marketing-analytics-in-r-statistical-modeling

    Basic concepts of consumer behavior and client analytics. Classification of consumer behaviour models. Generic marketing strategies. Types of business models. Statistical methods for client analytics. Predicting client’s life-time value (LTV) with linear regression in R.

Models of satisfaction, expectation, performance, disconfirmation. Predicting client’s churn with logistic regression in R.

Assessment Elements

Assessment Elements

  • non-blocking MOOC results
    MOOC grade includes successful in-time completion of the four chapters of the online-course assigned by instructors (exercises and theory from all the chapters should be completed within the time assigned). Late completion is penalised.
  • non-blocking In-class activity
  • non-blocking Case-based project 1
    Project. Students create teams of 2-3 and work together on their projects. The first project focuses on reworking the programming code in R in order to calculate customer life-time value. Project details are available in LMS.
  • non-blocking Case-based project 2
    Project. Students create teams of 2-3 and work together on their projects. The second project is due towards the end of the course, and it reproduces the whole cycle of customer analytics, from data screening, to analysis, to creating a report targeted at the company’s management. The second project is reported as individual scripts of team members, so that individual contribution is transparent, and the final script that is meant for the client. Project details are available in LMS.
Interim Assessment

Interim Assessment

  • Interim assessment (2 module)
    0.1 * Case-based project 1 + 0.3 * Case-based project 2 + 0.4 * In-class activity + 0.2 * MOOC results
