The New Edition of a Business Classic

This landmark work, the first to introduce business leaders to analytics, reveals how analytics are rewriting the rules of competition.

Updated with fresh content, Competing on Analytics provides the road map for becoming an analytical competitor, showing readers how one can create new strategies for their organizations in line with sophisticated analytics. Introducing a five-stage model of analytical competition, Davenport and Harris describe the typical behaviors, capabilities, and challenges of each and every stage. They give an explanation for how one can assess your company’s capabilities and guide it toward the highest level of competition. With equal emphasis on two key resources, human and technological, this book reveals how even essentially the most highly analytical companies can up their game.

With an emphasis on predictive, prescriptive, and autonomous analytics for marketing, supply chain, finance, M&A, operations, R&D, and HR, the book accommodates a large number of new examples from different industries and business functions, such as Disney’s vacation experience, Google’s HR, UPS’s logistics, the Chicago Cubs’ training methods, and Firewire Surfboards’ customization. Additional new topics and research include:

  • Data scientists and what they do
  • Big data and the changes it has wrought
  • Hadoop and other open-source software for managing and analyzing data
  • Data products―new services and products in line with data and analytics
  • Machine learning and other AI technologies
  • The Web of Things and its implications
  • New computing architectures, including cloud computing
  • Embedding analytics within operational systems
  • Visual analytics

The business classic that turned a generation of leaders into analytical competitors, Competing on Analytics is the definitive guide for transforming your company’s fortunes within the age of analytics and big data.
