摘要：It is estimated that 80% of all corporate data has content that is geographic, meaning that place or location can be associated with the data. This fact is leading innovative businesses worldwide to treat geographic data as an organizational asset and to realize that location information about customers, suppliers, and competitors can be a key business driver. It is within this context that the College of Business at Northern Illinois University (NIU) has, for the past eight years, offered both undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to learn business applications of geographic information systems. This paper describes this initiative, emphasizing the kinds of location-based business problems solved by students.
