This course will focus in mining this vast amount of data in order to learn the embedded business intelligence and apply that intelligence to run a business in a more efficient and effective manner. This course introduces business students to the various techniques of business intelligence and data mining so that they can identify problems and opportunities in their companies and apply these techniques. Students learn how to draw inferences from the data by learning how to ask the right questions and using the appropriate data mining tools. The emphasis is on understanding the application of data mining techniques to specific business intelligence situations, rather than the theoretical underpinning of the techniques.
