Business Intelligence Systems

Internal Code: MAS3273 Case Study: Your prototype will be accompanied by a business report with a research component. This means that you have substantial scholarly work to do and are expected to investigate beyond just the lectures and reading material provided. The research component in this assessment builds on your project proposal research. You should demonstrate an ability to analyse critically, think reflectively, argue persuasively, and to synthesise the argument with source material. Questions:

• Restate the problem briefly and the need for decision support. Explain the approach you used to build the prototype.
• Provide documentation and screen images1 on how to run the DSS/BIS prototype.
• Provide a high-level summary. What are your findings and/or recommendations ? Explain how the prototype supports decision making. What are your suggestions for possible improvements of the prototype at a later date ?
