Across industries, researchers are analyzing new sources of data in creative ways: unstructured text, real-time financial information, social networks, trace data, GIS, remote sensing information and more. At the Center for Business and Social Analytics (CBSA), our goal is to accelerate research that uses digital resources to understand and predict social, economic, business and government processes from the ground up.
To empower innovation, we provide coordinating resources to enhance multi-college collaboration and idea sharing across Michigan State University. Unlike a traditional brick-and-mortar research center, CBSA operates as a virtual entity, which provides flexibility and efficiency.
