There have been a lot of promising words around about data mining for (at least) the last decade. If one investigates how much data mining is applied in business, it can be concluded that this is rather limited. Currently I am investigating the possible causes of this limited data mining usage for my Master Thesis of Industrial Engineering and Management. This investigation includes a literature study and input a couple of experts from the data mining field.

Currently I want to check my results for two aspect with aid of other data mining practitioners:

• Is my analysis of possible causes complete (what is missing?)

• Are the identified causes recognized confirmed or rejected by data mining practitioners?

I think that my findings might be useful for every practitioner in the field and encourage you to participate.
