,1. Week 1 lecture 1: Introduction to Data Management & Business
Intelligence
1.1. Course introduction
Data management: “managing data as a valuable
resource.”
Business intelligence (BI) / analytics (BA)?: “data-
driven decision-making”. Transforming data into
meaningful information/knowledge to support
business decision-making.
3 concepts of BI & BA:
Data: items that are the most elementary
descriptions of things, events, activities, and
transactions. Can be internal, external, structured,
unstructured.
Information: organized data that has meaning and value.
Knowledge: processed data or information that is applicable to a business decision problem.
Descriptive analytics: use data to understand past & present.
Diagnostic analytics: explain why something happened.
Predictive analytics: predict future behaviour based on past performance.
Prescriptive analytics: make decisions or recommendations to achieve the best performance.

, 1.2. Introduction to Business Intelligence / Analytics
General view definitions:
• Business intelligence: data warehousing + descriptive analytics.
• Business analytics: predictive + prescriptive analytics.
Our view in this course: BI = BA. They are all decision support systems (DSS).
2 definitions of BI:
• Process view (Sharba, 2014): “BI is an umbrella term that combines the processes,
technologies, and tools needed to transform data into information, information into
knowledge, and knowledge into plans that drive profitable business action.”
• Product/output view (Shaberwal, 2011): “BI is information and knowledge that enables
business decision-making.”
