Business Intelligence Quarter (hereinafter, the Quarter) is a lecture introducing the learners to team analysis primarily through key topics related to business intelligence. The Quarter is the second of four lectures of Team Quadrivium, which is the sixth of seven modules of Septem Artes Administrativi (hereinafter, the Course). The Course is designed to introduce the learners to general concepts in business administration, management, and organizational behavior.


Outline

Market Engagements Quarter is the predecessor lecture. In the enterprise analysis series, the previous lecture is Social Rationale Quarter.

Concepts

  1. Regulatory compliance. A legal entity's adherence to laws, regulations, guidelines and specifications relevant to its businesses. Violations of regulatory compliance requirements often result in legal punishment, including fines.
    • ISO 9000. A series of international quality management standards that set uniform guidelines for processes to entire products conform to customer requirements.
    • Standard. (1) A level of quality or attainment; (2) A concept or thing used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations.
  1. Business intelligence. Information that managers can use to make more effective strategic decisions.
    • Anonymization. The severing of links between people in a database and their records to prevent the discovery of the source of the records, and to maintain privacy and confidentiality.
    • Association. A link between two elements or objects in a diagram.
    • Systematic study. Looking at relationships, attempting to attribute causes and effects, and drawing conclusions based on scientific evidence.
    • Behavioral analytics. Using data about people's behavior to understand intent and predict future actions.
  2. Data curation. The management of data throughout its lifecycle, from creation and initial storage to the time when it is archived for posterity or becomes obsolete, and is deleted. The main purpose of data curation is to ensure that data is reliably retrievable for future research purposes or reuse.
    • Data validation. The process of ensuring that data have undergone data cleansing to ensure they have data quality, that is, that the data is both correct and useful.
    • Data gap. Indentification of data gaps in available information in reference to a particular procurement.
  3. Data manipulation. The action of manipulating data in a skillful manner.
    • Filtering. A sender's deliberate manipulation of information to make it appear more favorable or be seen more favorably by the receiver.
    • Filter. A mechanism that includes or excludes specific data from reports based upon what the user decides to filter (e.g., to tightly tailor a report, you might strictly want records of customers between the ages of 25 and 35 who like skiing, but you want to exclude everyone else).
  4. Big data. The vast amount of quantifiable information that can be analyzed by highly sophisticated data processing.
    • Contextual data. A structuring of big data that attaches situational contexts to single elements of big data to enrich them with business meaning (e.g., instead of a customer record that tells you the customer's name and address, data appended to this record data also gives the customer's buying preferences, which is gathered from recent web activity data). The result is a more complete understanding of the customer and her lifestyle.
    • Multipolar analytics. A distributed big data model where data is collected, stored, and analyzed in different areas of the company instead of being centrally located and analyzed.
  5. Data visualization. A method of putting data in a visual or a pictorial context as a way to assist users in better understanding what the data are telling them (e.g., a map is a way to visualize which areas of the country get the most rainfall).
    • Data point. An individual item on a graph or a chart.
  6. Forecasting. A process that uses historical data to predict future outcomes.
    • Forecast. Prediction of outcome.
    • Qualitative forecasting. Forecasting that uses the judgment and opinions of knowledgeable individuals to predict outcomes.
    • Quantitative forecasting. Forecasting that applies a set of mathematical rules to a series of past data to predict outcomes.

  1. Data broker. A business that collects personal information about consumers and sells that information to other organizations.
  2. Business intelligence analyst. A professional who produces financial and market intelligence by querying data repositories and generating periodic reports. He or she devises methods for identifying data patterns and trends in available information sources.

Methods

  1. Data-analysis technique. An established procedure for data analysis.

    • Database. A collection of data arranged for convenient and quick search and retrieval by applications and analytics software.
    • Management information system (MIS). A system used to provide management with needed information on a regular basis.
    • Digital tool. Technology, systems, or software that allow the user to collect, visualize, understand, or analyze data.
  2. Performance management system. Establishes performance standards used to evaluate employee performance.
