Mokshud Alimd.mokshudali@gmail.com<p>The revolutionary impact of business analytics on corporate strategy in modern firms is investigated in this research paper. Integrating analytics into strategic planning has become essential for gaining a competitive edge in a time of rapid technological innovation and data abundance. The significance of this study is in its capacity to clarify how data-driven decision-making can improve organizational performance and flexibility in a changing marketplace. The main goal of this study is to investigate the effects of employing business analytics in the development of corporate strategies, with a particular emphasis on how these processes affect decision-making and the overall efficacy of strategic initiatives. By analyzing these dynamics, the study hopes to offer firms looking to use analytics for strategic success practical insights. The scope of the study includes a thorough investigation of how business analytics impacts many aspects of corporate strategy, such as risk management, customer relationship management, and operational efficiency. The main issue discussed is the discrepancy between conventional strategic planning techniques and the requirement for a more data-centric strategy that can adapt to changing market conditions. The idea that better strategic results can result from the efficient application of business analytics forms the basis of the theoretical framework that directs this study. Using secondary data sources including case studies, industry reports, and scholarly literature, a qualitative research methodology is used to accomplish these goals. This methodology makes it easier to conduct a comprehensive analysis of current business analytics methods and knowledge in strategic situations. Organizations that successfully incorporate analytics into their strategic planning procedures report better performance metrics and increased decision-making capabilities, according to the main findings of the analysis. Potential biases in secondary data and the difficulty of extrapolating results across several businesses are drawbacks, though. In terms of theory and practice, this study has consequences. Theorists can better grasp how business analytics may transform strategic frameworks, and practitioners can learn about the most effective ways to put data-driven plans into reality. The findings of this study ultimately highlight how important it is for businesses to develop a strong data culture that values analytics as a fundamental part of their strategic decision-making procedures.</p>2024-11-18T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Nazma Begum, Sheikh Rezaul Karim, Md. Mokshud Alihttps://globalmainstreamjournal.com/index.php/IJBM/article/view/231Financial Strength and Governance Challenges of Dumuria Upazila Parishad in Bangladesh2025-03-20T20:38:51+00:00Md Shakhawat Hossainauthor@globalmainstreamjournal.com<p>This research examines the financial strength and governance challenges faced by Upazila Parishads in Bangladesh, with a particular focus on Dumuria Upazila Parishad. The study explores the sources of revenue available to Upazila Parishads, including land transfer fees, land development taxes, housing rents, and government allocations through the Annual Development Programme (ADP). The findings reveal that despite these revenue sources, the funds are insufficient to meet the growing demands for services and development in the region. The revenue income from sources such as Hat-Bazar, land transfer fees, and land development taxes exhibit instability, further hindering the effective delivery of services. Additionally, government allocations through ADP are inconsistent and insufficient, which limits the Upazila Parishad's ability to plan and implement development projects. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive financial reform to enhance the revenue-generating capabilities of Upazila Parishads. Recommendations include increasing the share of land transfer and development taxes, introducing provisions for sharing VAT and income tax revenues, and ensuring more stable and adequate ADP allocations. By addressing these financial challenges, the research suggests that Upazila Parishads can improve their governance, service delivery, and overall effectiveness in rural development. Ultimately, strengthening the financial autonomy of Upazila Parishads is vital for sustainable development and the well-being of local communities.</p>2024-12-18T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Md Shakhawat Hossain
