Tips about writing essays. 1. The number one tip for an essay is to: Make sure each question includes one thesis statement. This is really important advice for any and all essays, reports, projects, etc. This is especially important for an essay written by a graduating undergraduate senior or a graduate student!!!! Seriously: Include a thesis statement. An essay must have a strong thesis statement. If you aren t familiar with the contents of a thesis statement, then look at these websites: Integrate examples into your answers. a) Use examples from the readings. The chapters (in the Business Intelligence: A Managerial Perspective on Analytics text) provide many example cases. Use these examples to support your essay arguments. We did not directly discuss the example cases in class, but I expect to see them incorporated into your answers. b) Use examples from your personal experience, if you have experience that is relevant to the topic.

6 c) Please note: An essay without examples will not get a good grade. 3. Avoid making unsupported assertions make sure that you can provide evidence for your answers rather than simply providing your opinion in the answers. 4. Use bullet points and/or tables to structure your answers. B. Sample essay questions 1. Assume that there is a relatively high failure rate for the implementation of business intelligence systems in organizations. How might failure be defined when related to the implementation of a business intelligence system? What are at least three main contributors to the failure of these systems? What can an information technology professional do to prevent the failure of a business intelligence system? 2. How does big data differ from not-so-big-data? Is an organization that is using a data warehouse incorporating the use of big data? Is big data required for an organization to be using business intelligence effectively? 3. Should an organization have a business performance management system in place prior to the implementation of a business intelligence system? How does BI rely on BPM and how does BPM rely on BI? 4. What is the relevance of key performance indicators to the implementation success of a business intelligence system? Do you believe that information technology professionals need to understand the key performance indicators of an organization? Why or why not? 5. Some authors posit that an organization s strategy for data management should be similar to a strategy for the management of any other organizational asset. Do you agree that data is an organizational asset and should be managed like other organizational assets? Why or why not? 6. Describe four problems that an organization could have with data quality. Explain how those problems could be fixed. Explain how they might be prevented. 7. Explain how data warehousing is used as a solution to data quality and data integration problems for some organizations. 8. Is real-time data warehousing appropriate for all organizations? What factors should be considered when choosing between a real-time data warehouse (also called an active data warehouse) and a more traditional batch-oriented data warehouses?

7 9. Compare and contrast two different architectures for a data warehouse. Do you believe that the architecture for a data warehouse affects the relative success of a business intelligence system? 10. What are the issues that an organization should consider when deciding to implement a business intelligence system? Should all organizations embrace business intelligence? 11. Governmental organizations are not driven by profit and are not usually concerned with gaining market share. What are the benefits and drawbacks of using business intelligence and analytics within a governmental organization? 12. Do you believe that technical problems contribute to the failure of business intelligence in an organization? What are at least three important technical problems that could occur during the implementation of a business intelligence system using a data warehouse? 13. Must an organization have a data warehouse in order to conduct business intelligence practices? 14. Do the methods used for information visualization affect how data is perceived by people? What is the impact of information visualization on the analysis and use of data? What is the impact of pre-attentive techniques on information visualization? 15. Compare and contrast the purpose of a reconciled data model versus a data mart in the design of a data warehouse. Should all organizations using data warehousing have both a data mart and a reconciled data model design?
