Business Analytics

Failure to fully understand the importance of variables; constraints; limits; dependencies, and objectives in the beginning of the business analytics process hampers the effective and efficient use of business analytics for todays organizations. Provide at least three ways to overcome these challenges.
You must have at least four (4) scholarly references to support your arguments. Because Business Analytics is constantly evolving, all of your references must be within the last five (5) years. You must provide a link for each reference for my review.
This assignment contains multiple questions and topics. Do not use bullets or numbers to answer the questions. Your paper needs to be an essay. You need to integrate the multiple questions and topics into a single cohesive narrative.
Feel free to be creative in your writing. You can use your course reading material (limit of two (2)), personal experience, and any scholarly web resource to find information for your paper (Note: Wikipedia is not a scholarly source).
The critical thinking assignment will be submitted through Turnitin originality-checking tool. Review the Written Assignment rubric prior to submission.
