Case Study: National University of Singapore achieves industry-ready analytics education with QlikView (Qlik)

National University Of Singapore Business School Professor Uses Qlikview Academic Program To Build Curriculum

The National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School tasked adjunct professor Keith Carter with replacing a textbook-based purchasing and materials management course with a practical, industry-focused curriculum that builds students’ data-analytics skills — and he had only two weeks to design it. The challenge was to reinvigorate learning by giving students real-world experience with big data tools so they could analyze business problems across industries.

Carter joined the QlikView Academic Program, quickly deployed QlikView into the core curriculum, and used hands-on assignments and group projects (analyzing firms like Singapore Airlines and Heineken) to teach corporate and supply-chain analytics. The result was stronger student engagement and analytics capability, several graduates moving into supply-chain roles, and tangible business impact — including a student analysis that revealed roughly $2M in potential savings for a participating company.
