Assignment:
Introduction and Purpose of Assignment
This assignment uses an annotated bibliography to review the four acts that are part of the analytics-based decision-making process. An annotated bibliography is a summary of an article (or part of an article) that focuses on the research objective. In this case, the research objective will be each of the four acts that Bartlett includes as part of the analytics-based decision-making process.
Objectives
• Discuss the four acts in analytics-based decision-making.
Theory and Context
Bartlett (2013) presents four acts in the analytics-based decision-making process: Act I: Framing the business problem; Act II: Executing the data analysis; Act III: Interpreting the results; Act IV: Making analytics-based decisions. Working through the analytics-based decision-making by following these four acts should provide the business with pertinent data-driven information upon which to base decisions.
While Bartlett (2013) reviews the four acts throughout the textbook, additional research should provide clarity on the importance and/or processes to work through the analytics based decision-making process.
