Any interesting ideas for Master’s thesis in the fields of BA and finance?

I like to dabble in web development (end to end JS) and machine learning in Python and have been making a career in b-to-b sales before living in Munich and Amsterdam.<p>I live in Finland and started my second year of a Master’s degree in Finance and Business Analytics. Derivatives and financial econometrics by themselves don’t quite tick my interests and I’m not particularly good in math at all.<p>The thesis should ideally be quantitative and even commissioned by a company in order to be useful.<p>What could be some interesting datasets and ideas to perform “research” on and ideally graduate by next summer?<p>So the topics for my thesis should ideally be in the realm of strategic finance, business analytics, ML&#x2F;Data. Some of my early ideas to be developed, narrowed down and sharpened:<p>* a simple prediction&#x2F;forecasting service or model hosted as a service, * simple rule-based or ML dynamic pricing optimization, segmentation, or a simple recommendation system, * more general cloud economics topics from a business perspective (business agility &#x2F; CapEx to OpEx, etc), * Internationalization of the firm, Compensation&#x2F;incentive planning, or revenue&#x2F;sales operations&#x2F;territory management &amp; CRM processes&#x2F;automation<p>I would be mighty thankful for any ideas from you guys!
