Business intelligence and analytics in general are currently experiencing a resurgence in interest from both the business and academic communities. As a response, a Business Analytics Special Interest Group (SIG) was formed at Villanova University in 2007 to better link these two communities and support the growing needs of business. As a multi-disciplinary group composed of both analytics professionals and academics, one of the first tasks was to investigate how businesses viewed analytics and how they were incorporating them in actual practice. With this in mind, an interview questionnaire was developed and senior-level executives from a diverse group of sixteen different firms were interviewed in a group context. Their responses led to the development of a new, integrated analytics curriculum and the establishment of a new Analytics Round Table. The results from this series of semi-structured interviews are presented in this paper.

Education In Ghana

Narratives offer academic communities a moment of reflexivity. However, stories told by members in academic communities are  under-studied. Drawing on Wenger’s idea of community of practice, the present study examined the narratives of 12 senior  communication educators in three public universities in Ghana, and how the narratives shape the knowledge economy. Using field notes, technical documents, and structured interviews, the study revealed that community practice in the field of communication education in Ghanaian public universities is constrained by a not so vibrant community that faces challenges in localising a Western curriculum, and is yet to coordinate its local language research agenda.

This case takes place at SCC, a recognized shopping mall located in Cali, Colombia. In March 2018, Javier Ortiz, CEO of SCC, contacted a group of researchers to identify the key success factors before the implementation of business intelligence practices. For this, the researcher's group conducted a set of deep semi-structured interviews to establish the current state of processes, people and technologies around business information. With this information, a business intelligence maturity stage model is presented to identify a low level of business intelligence practices, that represents a long list of challenges to be faced by the SCC with a limited budget. This case focuses on how to analyze the business intelligence readiness assessment using exploratory analysis, and seeks to promote the skills and competencies oriented to prioritize actions based on research to improve decision making before a business intelligence implementation project.

As a result of the changes in higher education, universities are utilizing business intelligence and analytics applications, which are private-sector practices. This study aimed to determine the extent of the use of business intelligence and analytics applications at Turkish universities. For this purpose, case studies were conducted at 12 Turkish universities that have different characteristics. Case studies were conducted face to face as semi-structured interviews. It was revealed that universities use information systems for their business processes; however, they lack the utilization of business analytics applications, especially predictive and prescriptive analytics.

Roma segregation in Albania has been causing growing concern since the fall of the communist regime. In this study, we analyze the effectiveness of the Albanian national action plan for Roma inclusion 2016–2020, in 2018, halfway in its implementation period. We gathered data on education and employment from the pre-implementation period (2015) and compared it with the latest available data in 2018. Interviews with local experts and surveys by the Balkan Barometer will provide background information to assess the current state of Roma integration in Albania. Moreover, descriptive statistics from national and international institutions and structured interviews will draw an independent narrative of Roma affairs. In our conclusion, we suggest moving beyond the “us and them” approach with programs run on inertia; our findings highlight that although encouraging achievements have been reached under the 2016–2020 action plan, real inclusion is still far, as statistical achievements do not say much about the quality of the education or job training provided under the 2016–2020 action plan.

The objective of the main research is to investigate the current state of implementation of mechanisation and automation in the Industrialised Building System (IBS). The aim of this paper however, is to provide an overview on the implementation of mechanisation and automation in the IBS construction approach. Questionnaire survey and semi structured interviews were conducted to collect the viewpoints among contractors and manufacturers of IBS to ensure the richness of the data collected. The results illustrated that although most respondents have agreed on most critical issues in the implementation of mechanisation and automation, they were not ready to move forward. These responses were quite consistent across the professions.
