“…In accordance with Rajnoha et al (2016), organizations must have monitoring and tracking systems to collect information for the purposes of identifying threats and seizing opportunities. This information serves as the foundation for the work of this system, according to Kekwaletswe & Lesole (2016), who defined business intelligence as a system that charts business decision-making through analyses and reports prepared in accordance with the data that the organization possesses.…”

This study aimed to explain the impact of business intelligence systems in its dimensions (instant analytical processing, data collection and analysis, business performance management) on continuous improvement in its dimensions (leadership support, customer focus, technology employment) in Qatari banks, and the study used the descriptive analytical approach to achieve the desired goals, The survey method was used to determine the study sample, as the sample included all the vocabulary of the study community, which numbered (458) individuals, The study used the questionnaire for the purposes of collecting data from the study sample, and (411) were retrieved, and the number of questionnaires valid for analysis was (388), or 84.7%, Data collection and analysis, business performance management) on continuous improvement in its dimensions (leadership support, customer focus, technology employment) in Qatari banks and the variables of business intelligence and continuous improvement in their dimensions came at a high level of importance. Based on the findings of the study, the study recommended increasing the interest of Qatari banks in communication systems, which contributes to reducing the risks committed before carrying out work within the bank, and giving greater importance to international quality standards and continuity in the development of services provided to the customer.

“…Today it is recognised as a multidisciplinary research approach, which is increasingly oriented toward the study of technological and human aspects within organisations and social systems (Nardi, 1996;Barab, Evans and Baek, 2004;White and Cicmil, 2016). Recent examples of use reported in organisational and business sciences and published in various 'business journals' include its use for business intelligence (Kekwaletswe and Lesole, 2016), knowledge acquisition through process mapping (White and Cicmil, 2016) and the creation and evolution of new business ventures (Jones and Holt, 2008). The value of integrating AT into organisation studies, particularly those relating to organisational change and technology-mediated change has been noted (Harrington and Kearney, 2011;Kang and Hovav, 2018).…”

Activity Theory is used in this paper to demonstrate the process of critical analysis of qualitative data from two case studies. The paper explains the elements of an activity system (the subject, object, outcome, mediating tools, rules, community and division of labour). Thereafter, practical examples from the work of two recent PhD students are used to show the importance of identifying and analysing activities that are found either in the introduction or the current use of information systems in business organisations. These examples highlight the applicability of Activity Theory in analysing data from projects of interest to Business Management whose topics and contexts are very different. The first focusses on the introduction of an Accounting Information System to microbusinesses in a low‑income community in South Africa and the second focusses on Information Security Management in Mobile Network Organisations in Uganda. The examples illustrate the value of Activity Theory as a lens and as a way of stimulating critical analysis. Activity Theory is known for its ability to identify reasons for failure or disappointing performance in existing situations by highlighting contradictions either between different activities, between an earlier version of an activity and a later version as the activity evolves, or within an activity (between the elements of that activity). However, as shown in the first example, it can also be seen as a useful tool when proposing a new project as a predictor of success. Despite the fact that data is typically qualitative, the analytical process related to Activity Theory can be structured, which assists novice researchers or those unaccustomed to interpretivist analysis to uncover insights that are not immediately obvious. Activity Theory is said to act as a lens in data analysis and is particularly useful in organisational sciences for the theorization of technology‑mediated organizational change.

In this paper is analyzed the design of a software platform concerning a case study of process engineering involving the simultaneous adoption of data digitation, Data Mining -DMprocessing, and Augmented Reality -AR-. Specifically is discussed the platform design able to upgrade the Knowledge Base -KBenabling production process optimizations in working sites. The KB is gained by following 'Frascati' research guidelines addressing the possible ways to achieve the Knowledge Gain -KG-. The technologies such as AR and data entry mobile app are tailored in order to apply innovative data mining algorithms. In the first part of the paper is commented the preliminary project specifications, besides, in the second part, are shown the use cases, the unified modeling language -UMLmodels, and the mobile app mockups enabling KG. The proposed work discusses preliminary results of an industry project.
