Hands-On Course Highlights

Introduction to Business Intelligence (MGT 4020)
This course provides students with a foundation in developing insights and analytics-driven decision making processes, and in identifying dimensions and metrics for a given company and/or industry. In groups of three to four peers and under the supervision of the professor, students work with clients to directly apply their learnings in a real-world business environment. Past participating corporations include AT&T, IHG, Boehringer Ingelheim, and entrepreneurial start-ups. After identifying and organizing available data and discussing appropriate business intelligence techniques, students develop a framework that aids in the analysis of a business problem.

Analysis of Business Data (MGT 4110)
In groups of three to four students, students will conduct real-world analytics projects. Each group will formulate business questions that will ultimately lead to business strategies or actions. After following the six phases of the CRISP-DM framework, each group will present key findings of the project through storytelling.

Business Modeling (MGT 4140)
In teams of four to six, students run a hotel using "The Hotel Game," an educational online simulation tool designed to make the economics of pricing more intuitive and easy. The game provides insights into the relationship between selling channels, market structure, and optimal pricing. Each group of students is in charge of setting the prices for their hotel rooms to beat the competition.
