The past 1,5 month I had a great time following the Business Intelligence course at my university which was given in collaboration with Deloitte. We even attended a BI/recruitment session at the headquarters of IBM Netherlands. BI seems like a great field for business students with technical capabilities.

Interested in Business Intelligence, Decision Support Systems, Expert Systems, Data Warehousing and Data Mining? Here follows an overview of all the academic papers on Business Intelligence that we had to read for our exam:

• A framework for the development of Decision Support Systems, R.H. Sprague, MIS Quarterly, Volume 4, Issue 4 (Dec. 1980).
• The science, not art, of business intelligence, M.C. O’Guin, et al.,  CompetitiveIntelligence Review vol 12(4) 15-24 (2001).
