This demand of business user stemmed the need for effective training program targeting the business users. The purpose of this thesis is to develop the guidelines for improving the effectiveness of the BI&A systems training program for the business users. From the literature review, we identified the factors that may affect the effectiveness of the training and proposed the initial guidelines for the training program. We then collected data from six trainers and users, who have the experience in either training or taking the training program. Based on the findings, we developed the new guidelines for the training program. (Less)
