Good insight on identifiation of metrics which would cater to business process changes required. Also helped me in brushing up me old knowledge on statistical formulae.
Umang P –
It’s a decent course that explains how you define metrics with respect to the various businesses out there, and to minimise redundancy by skipping the metrics that are neither in your control, nor are they applicable to your analysis objectives.
Daisy C –
Very inspiring content, though I found the financial analysis part is rather heavy and boring (Maybe because I am not so interested in finance).
Ebad A –
A good course that delved into introductory business metrics. However, more focus should have been on increasing tangible contents rather than talking about various data driven roles in an organization.
Megan S –
Great class to refresh the fundamentals and learn new metrics for web based internet company analysis.

A good starter to understand business metrics. It would be better if include some new companies as the example to analyze
Jianxu S –
One of the very useful concepts I learned from this course is the idea of evaluating how digital a company or business is. It provides a rough prediction if a given company will be more successful in the future and what type of data related roles are needed in the company.
Yini L –
Nice structure and vivid case studies for telling me the business metrics
Ho J Y –
The course was really well prepared, and it had so many helpful tools for a new learner. I just wish the course had more depth and length, but I understand that this is a beginner’s course, so nothing to complain about it. Thank you for the great course.

Felix S –
This course has the resource to give me well perspective on how to gather data on business analysis. However, there are still so much material given were not explained in detail on how does the formula came from. Well, I do think that it would take so much time and would not be efficient for the course
Alan M –

SHAKIL A –
It was an informative fundamental course that is best for basic learners. Some easier real life case studies should add in this course. Thank You, Sir, for this learning.

Some topics are not explained well enough and I had to search Google to find out. For example all the calculations that needs to be more detailed, explained and provide us with more examples.

It is a primer for understanding what Business Analytics exactly is. It is a wonderfully paced and organised course and is designed for you, if you do not have any background knowledge of business analytics just like me. I thank Daniel Egger and his team for wonderful lectures and well planned quizzes.

Natalia G –
This course is an intro to the specialization. If you have been working with ratios, you probably won’t learn anything new, however, it is a good overview of business metrics, and is ok to take as an intro to the whole specialization it is part of.
I–Ching W –
Quite practical course for beginner! Professor Daniel clearly explain the difference between different industries and specific analytics related profession. I am a marketing analyst and recently plan to change my career path to business analyst. After finishing this course, I am more sure that I want to be a business analyst and especially expert in customer segmentation. However, course 1 is more like the introduction of data driven industry and related jobs but lacks data analytics.

Oleksii K –
Great course, which consists of lots of business related metrics (goal of which is to increase efficiency of the enterprise) and interviews with specialists from different data related jobs. However, in this course I’d like to have more information on how to chose the right metric for specific situation and create your own based on the data available.
Ekat –
Very bad explanation of economic concepts, inadequate use of mathematical description
Abigail A –
Very Informative!
Jan C –
I liked the course, especially the explanation of different business roles and the cash flow case study. That was amazing. My only objection would be thattThe topics covered are kind of not very interlinked (of course they relate to each other, but it seemed to me a bit too much of jumping from one topic to another).
Zainulabideen –
This was my first experience with coursera and duke university. the expectations were high and I was never let down by their combined efforts.
