Write a research paper describing an emerging trend in data analytics and business intelligence.

Location-based analytics, recommendation engines, data-as-a-service, and analytics-as-a-service are topics for consideration. Published reports by research and consulting firms, such as Gartner and Accenture, are good sources of ideas, as well as articles on trends in major publications that cover business and IT, such as Forbes, InformationWeek, and CIO.

Your paper should address the following points regarding your chosen topic.

• Describe the emerging trend in a way that would be understandable to a nontechnical business manager.
• Provide at least two examples of how the trend is being applied in organizations currently.
• Predict how the trend is likely to develop over the next 5 years.
• Analyze how the trend may impact business organizations in the coming years, including both positive and negative impacts.
• Recommend what you think interested business organizations should do with regard to this trend.
• Final Papers must be 10–12 pages in length (not including the title page and table of contents but including the reference list); be in 12-point, Times New Roman font; be double spaced; and include a title page, table of contents, introduction, body of the paper, summary or conclusion, and references.
• Papers must follow APA format. Please review and follow the APA resources in the Syllabus.
• References are very important. At least five authoritative, outside references are required. Anonymous authors are not acceptable. Web sources, if used, must be authored by recognized experts in the field.
• Appropriate citations are required
