The Impact

In today’s competitive business environment, there exist the need to investigate the adequacy of infrastructural flexibility for Business Intelligence Systems to support Sustainability on Firm’s Decision-making processes and performance. The Business Intelligence Systems consist of unique functions that are intrinsic aimed at supporting better quality decision-making within the organization. It is critical to the smooth operations of every organization. The intention of this study is not to discuss the technical details of implementing Business Intelligence Systems but to explore how to gain maximum benefits from the applications and usage of Business Intelligence Systems. An intensive literature review that highlighted the impact of Business Intelligence on firm performance and decision-making processes were initiated. The focus was on how to apply the Business Intelligence Systems to gain competitive advantage and to create more value from information by aligning it with the needs of employees who are engaged in complex business decision-making in today’s business environment. The study contributed in both academic and industrial operations by providing first time evidence of Business Intelligence solutions with particular reference to Nigerian firms located in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study employed the partial least square analysis with a sample size of 985 respondents randomly selected from five manufacturing companies. The findings suggested that the more effective use of Business Intelligence implementation, the more effective the decision-making processes and firm performance. The study offers a number of implications for theory and practice, noting that Business Intelligence System is in effect allowing firms to shift their structure to more carefully and thoughtfully align with the needs of customers and partners.

This exploratory study analyses the effects of the technical and organisational characteristics of business intelligence systems (BIS) on knowledge sharing, collaboration, and decision-making processes. The authors conducted a two-phase multi-method investigation. First, we surveyed 30 enterprises using BIS on a regular basis; then, we engaged in an in-depth case study with one of the respondent companies. Our results show that, on average, the technical and organisational characteristics of the BIS are positively associated with an increase in knowledge sharing, leading to an improvement in internal collaboration that subsequently brings improvement in the quality of decision-making. This case study adds that the way the BIS is designed and appropriated in organisations is important in obtaining such results is. A BIS being designed so that it can be appropriated by the general employee base is key in obtaining the desired organizational impacts. This suggests some requirements for BIS design that we will discuss in terms of theoretical and managerial implications.

Entrepreneurial Decision

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to call for inclusion of alternative but complementary conceptual perspectives in entrepreneurial decision-making theory and practice. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual approach, drawing on two sets of theoretical perspectives relating to decision making of entrepreneurs, is adopted. Findings The paper presents a conceptual framework of entrepreneurial decision making utilising the intersection between a metacognitive model of the entrepreneurial mindset and the recognition-primed decision-making theory. The paper argues that the convergence of these theoretical viewpoints provides a selection of decision-making processes for entrepreneurs in an uncertain business environment. Practical implications Decision-making models and tools are available to entrepreneurs; however, the relevance and applicability are restrained by the complexity and uncertainty of business environments in which entrepreneurs operate. New and more inclusive conceptual perspectives are required to improve the accuracy of decision making. Originality/value The study offers a framework that integrates two diverse theoretical dimensions of entrepreneurial decision making. The findings of this study provide direction for practice and for future research on entrepreneurial decision making. The paper intends to encourage researchers to support a new combined theoretical approach and to help practitioners better understand the reasons for entrepreneurial decision failure.

The Impact

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to identify the role of market dynamism in the relationship between market orientation and the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) operating in technology parks (TPs) in Poland. Methodology: The two methods used for performing the quantitative empirical research are CAWI and PAPI. The research sample included MSMEs operating in technology parks in Poland. The article is the answer to the needs for systematic research of models between market orientation and firm performance. Findings: The research findings provide an insight into the level of market orientation and performance of the analyzed MSMEs operating in technology parks in Poland. It was found that MSMEs in the research sample were not a homogeneous group in this respect. It has been proven that market orientation is a significant stimulant of firm performance, while market dynamism has not been classified as a moderator of the market orientation–firm performance relationship. Implications for theory and practice: This study contributes to strategic management by identifying the key role of market orientation for enterprises wishing to benefit from this type of strategic orientation. The important role of the predictor – market orientation in shaping the results of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises operating at TPs in Poland has been proven. In practice, this means that increasing the level of market orientation is conducive to increasing positively assessed financial performance. Originality and value: Our research carried out at MSMEs operating in technology parks in Poland enriches and supplements knowledge about market orientation as a phenomenon of universal character because it also applies to smaller sized business organizations.

Most papers in this issue deal with different sides of business intelligence systems. Empirical data froma number of countries and companies are gathered to illustrate how companies work and fail to workwith competitive intelligence.The paper by Alnoukari and Hanano, entitled “Integration of business intelligence with corporatestrategic management,” deals with the relationships between business intelligence and strategicmanagement. The paper proposes a BSC-BI framework that facilitates the integration of businessintelligence with the balanced scorecard methodology using an example of a case from the telecomindustry.The paper by Jürgens, “Patent bibliometrics and its use for technology watch,” is on the topic oftechnology watch and statistical analysis of patent information and proposes patent indicators fortechnology watch activities, which are classified into four categories: performance, technology, patentvalue and collaboration indicators. The case of nanotechnology for a whole country is applied asexample.The paper by Søilen, “Why care about competitive intelligence and market intelligence? The case ofEricsson and Swedish Cellulose Company (SCA),” tries to answer that question with an example of twoSwedish companies. The history of the intelligence function in private companies is compared to that ofstate and military organizations. The most interesting question turns out to be why more companiesdon't pay attention to CI and MI when so many arguments speak to their advantages.The paper by Gauzelin and Benz is entitled “An examination of the impact of business intelligencesystems on organizational decision making and performance: The case of France”. This empirical studyexamines the impact of business intelligence systems on organizational decision-making andperformance. They found that when BI systems are deployed in SMEs, they facilitate timely decisionmaking, improve organizational efficiency, enable a company to meet client’s needs appropriately andlead to more satisfied employees.The paper by Langlois and Chauvel is entitled “The impact of supply chain management on businessintelligence”. The authors argue for why it makes sense to see the BI function as an extension of supplychain management, but moreover they show how difficult it has become to separate BI from other ITintensive processes in the organization.As always, we would above all like to thank the authors for their contributions to this issue of JISIB.Thanks to Dr. Allison Perrigo for reviewing English grammar and helping with layout design for allarticles and to the Swedish Research Council for continuous financial support.

This paper aims at filling existing research by examining the impact of corporate governance and ownership structure on firm performance using cross-sectional data from companies in the MENA region for the years 2009-2013. The results indicate that higher ownership concentration is associated with higher returns. Furthermore, firms with higher international ownership share tend to perform better than those with only local private and/or state ownership. The results suggest some prevalent features with respect to ownership and performance of firms in the MENA region. Due to the volatile social and business environment, these firms operate in, they may be particularly dependent on effective ownership structures and support which may be provided by international, institutional, and large shareholders.
