This scientific paper shows the results formulated in the author’s research focused on strategic decision-making of the company management in a new entrepreneurial environment resulting from changes caused by integration processes, the development of information technologies and globalisation factors. The goal of this paper is to publish the changes in behaviour of the management of the selected entrepreneurial entities resulting from new factors of changes affecting the entrepreneurial environment. This is reflected in the process of strategic decision-making of entrepreneurial entities in the necessity to use new methods of decision-making of the company management as a reaction to factors of the external as well as the internal environment.

This chapter addresses the public sector equality duty, which is contained in Part 11 of the Equality Act 2010. Section 149 of the Act consolidates the specific duties in respect of race, gender, and disability, which were previously contained in separate pieces of primary legislation. It extends those duties to cover all of the protected characteristics except marriage and civil partnership (which is protected to a more limited extent). Meanwhile, section 1 of the Act, which is not currently in force, provides for a public sector duty relating to socio-economic inequalities. This requires specified public authorities, in the context of strategic decision-making, to have due regard to the desirability of exercising their functions in a manner designed to reduce inequalities which result from socio-economic disadvantage.

The University

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
