Teaching an Learning Business Intelligence: Business Evaluation Last but Not Least

Abstract

Most data mining, business intelligence and data warehousing university courses are focused in techniques and modeling. But they fail in teaching business understanding, prototyping and how to involve business users from the first stages of a business intelligence project. In this paper we review research related to business intelligence teaching identifying strengths and weaknesses of most common ways of teaching and learning. Following we describe our experience teaching business intelligence in different areas. We continue proposing a method to test the project business applications and the return of investment study.
