The organizations are investing more in information technology to collect, store and process vast amounts of information. Generally this information has no standard and repeated data, which hinders the decision making process. The cause of the difficulties is related to Information Quality (IQ) that has technical characteristics related to the architecture used in Data Warehouse (DW) and Business Intelligence (BI) environments. Based on the existing literature and insights from the author a research model was created to identify the relations between components of DW/BI architecture and IQ dimensions. We used the case study as research method. This research makes contributions to better understand IT architecture for DW/BI.

Organizations are currently investing more in information technology to store and process a vast amount of information. Generally, this information does not comply with any standard, which hinders the decision-making process. The cause of the difficulties can be attributed to Information Quality (IQ), which has technical characteristics related to the architecture used in Data Warehouse (DW) and Business Intelligence (BI) environments. On the basis of the relevant literature in IQ, DW, and BI, a research model was created to identify the relations between components of DW/BI architecture and IQ dimensions. This research model was applied in a real case study (Big Financial Company in Brazil). This case study involved semi-structured interviews with managers and analysts. This chapter attempts to provide a better understanding of the relations between IT architecture and IQ in DW and BI environments. The authors hope to motivate the discussion around the development of IQ-oriented architectures for BI and the relationship between these concepts.

The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the essence of financial literacy, including knowledge of banking (especially of young people). For this purpose, a literature review was used. Own research complements the topic as a case study, where the author verifies whether students assess their knowledge in a way that corresponds to reality and verifies whether students need to expand their financial knowledge sorely necessary nowadays. The survey was completed by 380 students from University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów, of both economic and non-economic field of studies. There are some unexpected results, for example the most important is that students from a financial field of studies end up with worse results than their peers from the non-financial degree programs.

This article presents a discussion on the importance of business intelligence (BI) and the role that a specific BI tool, Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, plays in the strategic decision-making processes in an organisation. The University of the Witwatersrand, often referred to as Wits, was used as a case study. The main objective of a business intelligence tool is to improve the quality and timeliness of the input of data to the organisational decision-making process. The quality of the data, which is an organisational asset, is therefore of the utmost importance. Approaches for the identification of business intelligence from corporate information and knowledge management were also assessed. A questionnaire was administered among key informants within the university in order to address some of the pertinent issues at higher education institutions. In addition, the role of a data warehouse within the business intelligence framework was presented. The paper itself covers a wide range of disciplines from information technology, knowledge management to decision sciences. The article also presents a proposed framework to be used in line with the best practices in the implementation of business intelligence solutions.Keywords: Business Intelligence (BI), Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (BIEE), Data Warehouse, Strategic Decision Making, Strategic Planning, Higher Education Institutions and Knowledge Management.Disciplines: Information Technology, Knowledge Management, Management Sciences, Decision Sciences & Management

Data warehouse is an important entity that contributes to the decision-making process, which can be seen in the literature available over the years. Data warehouse provides the basis for quality analysis of available data by deriving accurate information from data. Like many other industries, banking sector is also facing challenges due to various reasons like large over-dues, non-performing assets, changing customer demographics, matching customer expectation levels, increased competition from financial technological companies and banking competitors, etc. Thus data warehouse system serves to be the best solution for the banks to overcome challenges as data warehouse system integrates all the data at one place and provides a consolidated view of the past transactions which can be used for report generation and performing analytical analysis in order to help the management to maximize business performance.

This chapter examines the effect of group dynamics on the 2016 decision within the administration of President Barack Obama to lead the international coalition in a mission to liberate Raqqa, Syria, from the Islamic State. The authors show that whereas the groupthink syndrome characterized the decision-making process of the US-led coalition’s decision to attack Raqqa, it was polythink that characterized the decision-making dynamics both in the US-led coalition and within the inner circle of Obama’s own foreign policy advisors. Through case-study analysis, the authors illustrate that groupthink is more likely in strategic decisions, whereas polythink is more likely in tactical decisions.
