These days, data collection and analysis are paramount to a business’ strategy.
In the sixth annual MSc Hack the Case competition, students in Ivey’s MSc Business Analytics stream had the opportunity to analyze loyalty program data to recommend acquisition and cross-selling strategies.
The competition was held virtually from April 4 – 14, 2022 and was sponsored by Deloitte, SAS, Scotiabank, and Centre for Advanced Computing.
In addition to working with real-world data, students participated in a training program on the SAS software and benefitted from having dedicated mentors from Deloitte and SAS.
