definition for: #RelationalAnalytics

The term "Relational Analytics" and its cognates are used in various ways and contexts: to analyze, for example, the person-to-person relationship (which is the domain of psychology and sociology), or to analyze the relationship between digits and numbers (which is the domain of mathematics and computing). However, the term has become best known for measuring the dynamics of the relationships between entities - e.g. between an organisation and its investors and/or employees and/or suppliers and/or customers and/or surrounding community and/ or government. Alternatively between one part of an organisation and another - e.g. between the Board of an organisation and the Executive Team. This has applications e.g. in risk management, and productivity enhancement. In this sense, "Relational Analytics" is a dimension of business analytics or, more precisely, business intelligence.
