Project Requirements: We have to conduct an exploration on the use of Analytics 
in an industry (we chose Healthcare) and summarize it as a report. The use of 
Analytics may support any business function in the industry/firm: marketing, 
product development, finance, supply chain, etc. The report prepared should 
address all or most of the following: description of the industry/firm, the problem/ problems that are being solved in the industry/firm through Analytics, the tools 
being used, the changing trends in the use of Analytics in that industry/firm and 
any new breakthroughs that are anticipateed such as the adoption of artificial 
intelligence or any other.
The project scope offers considerable flexibility to accomodate a student’s 
individual interests and area that they want to explore as long as a significant 
portion of the report is centered around a discussion on the need and application 
of handling/analyzing data. This could include data visualization, data modeling, predictions/forecasts, optimization, simulations, to name a few of the topics 
that we specifically cover in BUS 609 or any that may be outside of this list as 
well. 
Project Deliverable: The output will be a 3-5 page paper, single-spaced, 
including any visuals and tables that you include in the report. Please cite your 
sources in a concluding section titled “References.” 
As a clarification, the project requirements do not require you to collect data and
analyze it. The focus is on uncovering the use of analytics in a certain industry 
and summarizing in a report.
