Academic Papers about Data Analytics

This website presents the scientific research of the Data Analytics cluster of the Department of Marketing at Ghent University. The field we practice is also known as analytical customer relationship management (CRM) / Business Intelligence in Marketing / Predictive Analytics in Marketing / Customer Data Mining. Moreover, we contribute to many methodological journals to advance the field of Data Analytics as a whole.
