Of course, you may
“hear” me say this at least another dozen times–but it truly is ALL
about the data (information), when it comes to BI, and businesses rely on
information as truly one of its most important and highly-regarded assets!
As a response to this
Conference Topic (on “Information”) there are several topics, of
which you only need to choose one (1): (REF Chap 6 of your textbook):
1. Information
“Types” (Transactional & Analytical)
2. The Importance of
Information Timeliness
3. Information Quality
4. Information Security
5. Data Warehousing
6. Data Mining
After selecting a topic
from the list, read about it in your textbook, and research one (1) additional
Internet resource (EXCEPT Wikipedia) on the subject-matter. In your own
words, and in a succinct manner, answer the following questions:
1. Why would this
(subject) be so important for a business today?
2. Give an example of
its use, or importance, in terms of how a business would benefit from it, and
3. “Could”
this subject-matter pertaining to information be beneficial for your business
(Hometown Deli)? Why, or why not?
(Reference your
Internet source as part of your response).
