Factors affecting the use of data mining in Mozambique

We present a study aimed at finding important factors that affect the acceptance and use of data mining in Mozambique. Input from potential users has been collected and analysed using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings indicate that the level of adoption of data mining in Mozambique is primarily affected by poor quality of data, limited skills and human resources, limited support of stakeholders, organizational issues, limited financial resources and lack of adequate technology. These factors are similar to those identified in other studies.
