ETL and Dashboards for Student Recruitment & Marketing
No full textIn higher education, student recruitment and marketing play a prominent role in the success of educational institutions, maintaining a robust student population and fostering diversity. Institutions compete for the attention of prospective students, and in this data-driven era, a strategic and data-driven approach is required to compete and make informed business decisions. The student recruitment and marketing team of the University of Helsinki possesses various data sources that require storage, transformation, and visualization to get insights from that data.
This thesis aims to solve these problems by creating a cloud database using Azure SQL Database, building Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) pipelines using Azure Data Factory, and developing dashboards in Power BI that allow the student recruitment and marketing team to transform and load their data into a database and visualize the data in Power BI that helps in making better strategic decisions and sharing the dashboards with stakeholders across the institution.
The results establish the ability to use Azure services for data management. Results include interactive dashboards in Power BI consisting of various visualizations that meet the requirements of the student recruitment and marketing team by providing Key performance indicators (KPIs). This approach enabled data-driven decision-making for the student recruitment and marketing team

Individuals’ intention and actual behavior are correlated with each other, therefore, it is expected that positive strong intention direct towards actual purchase of any object. Furthermore, the research on consumers’ intention towards packaged food in developing and under developing countries are still far behind to figure out the solution on this issue. Therefore, this study has targeted Pakistani consumers to examine their intention towards healthy packaged food consumption. The objective of the study was accomplished with traffic lights symbols, health claims, user friendly food label, subjective norm, self-efficacy, attitude towards food label, five personality traits and intention to consume healthy packaged food. Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior was used as the underpinning theory. For data collection self-administered questionnaire was employed to target MBA students of fourteen universities. The sample size was 537 and technique was systematic random sampling. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the complete model. The traffic lights symbol was having ineffective for Pakistani consumers whereas health claims and user friendly food label indirectly influenced consumers’ intention with the mediation of attitude. In addition to, subjective norm and self-efficacy were having positive significant effect on intention to consume healthy packaged food. Moreover, conscientiousness and agreeableness were supported for moderation effect. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed. Finally, this research provides suggestions for future research
