ABSTRACT: This study examines the influence of organizational controls related to knowledge management and resource development on assimilation (i.e., strategic integration and use) of business intelligence (BI) systems. BI systems use analytics and performance management concepts to leverage enterprise system databases and provide core management control system (MCS) capability. Our results indicate that organizational absorptive capacity (i.e., the ability to gather, absorb, and strategically leverage new external information) is critical to establishing appropriate technology infrastructure and to assimilating BI systems for organizational benefit. Further, findings show that while top management plays a significant role in effective deployment of BI systems, their impact is indirect and a function of operational managers’ absorptive capacity. In particular, this indirect effect suggests that leveraging BI systems is driven from the bottom up as opposed to the top down. This differentiates BI from other isolated strategic MCS innovations that have traditionally been viewed as top-management driven.

PurposeBusiness intelligence (BI) systems (i.e. technology and procedures that transform raw data into useful information for managers to enable them to make better and faster decisions) have enormous potential to improve organisational efficiency. However, given the high expenditure involved in the deployment of these systems, the factors that will enable their successful integration should be thoroughly considered and assessed before these systems are adopted. Absorptive capacity (ACAP) is the ability of organisations to gather, absorb and strategically influence new external information, and as such, there is a strong theoretical connection between ACAP and BI systems. This research aims to empirically investigate the relationship between the dimensions underpinning ACAP (i.e. acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation) and whether and how they affect the efficiency of BI systems, which, in turn, can enhance organisational efficiency.Design/methodology/approachThis study formulates five hypotheses addressing the effect of ACAP dimensions on BI systems efficiency and the effect of BI systems efficiency on organisational efficiency. It synthesises previous qualitative work and current research to derive sets of measures for each of the key constructs of the study. It follows a quantitative methodology, which involves the collection of survey data from senior managers in the telecommunications industry and the analysis of the data using partial least squares – structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results of the analysis confirmed the validity of the constructs and proposed measures and supported all five hypotheses suggesting a strong positive relationship between the ACAP dimensions, acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation and the efficiency of BI systems and a strong effect of BI systems efficiency on organisational efficiency.Practical implicationsThe study offers a comprehensive model of ACAP and BI systems efficiency. The set of measures that underpin these constructs could help researchers understand how ACAP dimensions are practically implemented and could contribute to their efforts to develop ACAP measurement instruments. At the same time, the model can help managers assess the readiness of their firms to adopt BI systems and identify which areas should be further developed, before committing to the substantial financial investment associated with BI systems. It also provides a set of practical solutions that could be implemented to enable a more robust ACAP and support a better integration of BI systems.Originality/valueFollowing an empirical approach, this study refines one’s theoretical and practical understanding of ACAP as an organisational dynamic capability and its dimensions; it provides an account on how each dimension affects different aspects of BI systems efficiency, which, in turn, may contribute to the improvement of organisational efficiency. Moreover, the study reframes ACAP measures as a set of requirements that can be practically assessed and followed before attempting to purchase BI systems.

Business Performance Management

Zarządzanie przedsiębiorstwem we współczesnych warunkach wymaga stosowania zaawansowanych systemów umożliwiających gromadzenie i przetwarzanie informacji do postaci użytecznej w podejmowaniu decyzji zarządczych. Możliwości takie stwarzają systemy klasy Business Intelligence. Systemy te obecnie są już szeroko stosowane w krajowych przedsiębiorstwach. Ostatnio coraz popularniejsze stają się systemy określane mianem Business Performance Management, które są traktowane jako kolejna generacja Business Intelligence. Istota systemów Business Performance Management dotychczas nie była szeroko prezentowane w literaturze krajowej. Część badaczy zajmujących się tą tematyką traktuje wymienione kategorie systemów jako tożsame. W artykule przedstawiono istotę systemów Business Performance Management oraz omówiono różnice pomiędzy tą kategorią rozwiązań i systemami Business Intelligence. Omówiono także elementy tworzące systemy Business Performance Management. Przedstawiono również metodykę oraz korzyści stosowania Business Performance Management w przedsiębiorstwach.

A significant amount of research has been conducted on the impacts of emissions reduction, absorptive capacity, and buffer inventory on firm performance. According to the resource-based view (RBV), absorptive capacity and buffer inventory are organizational capabilities and resources to create sustainable competitive advantages. Yet, the resource orchestration perspective (ROP) of the RBV emphasizes that firms need to develop a new capability to orchestrate and deploy their existing capabilities and resources. From an organizational learning perspective, firms with the low-level release of toxic chemicals have established a structured system and systematic organizational routines, strengthening their learning capabilities to share and use internal and external information across functional areas for continuous improvements. This study explores and seeks to understand toxic emissions through systematic operational routines as an organizational mechanism. These routines orchestrate and deploy the firm-specific absorptive capacity and buffer inventory to generate a sustainable competitive advantage. We examine the impacts of the absorptive capacity and buffer inventory on firm value in terms of Tobin’s Q, respectively. We also explore how such impacts are moderated by toxic emissions. Our results show that the absorptive capacity significantly enhances the market value of firms. However, the relationship between the buffer inventory and firm value is insignificant. Our additional analyses indicate that the impacts of the absorptive capacity and buffer inventory on the firm value are both significantly positive when firms release low toxic chemicals. Our results further suggest that firms can maximize their market value with a high absorptive capacity, high buffer inventory, and low toxic emissions.

The Impact

Integration of Strategic Intelligence with corporate strategic management is becoming of vital importance for modern and flexible organizations in the last few years. The main achievement of this integration is to help decision makers to implement systemically their corporate strategies, adapt easily to changes in the environment, and gain competitive advantages. In this article, the authors will extend the studies in this domain, and clarify the relationships between Business Intelligence, Competitive Intelligence with Strategic Intelligence. They will also explain the impact of Business Intelligence on Corporate Performance Management, Operational Business Process, Competitive Intelligence, and Strategic Intelligence. Finally, the authors will explain the new proposed framework BSC-SI that can facilitate the integration of Strategic Intelligence with Balanced Scorecard methodology.

As every small or large organization requires information to promote their business by forecasting the future trends, information is now the primary tool to understand the market trends and understand their own position in the market comparison to its competitors. Business intelligence is the use of an organizations disparate data to provide meaningful information and analyses to employees, customers, suppliers, and partners for more efficient and effective decision-making. BI applications include the activities of decision support systems, query and reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP), data warehouse (DW), statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining.
