Business intelligence and organizational performance

Abstract

PurposeOrganizations introduce business intelligence (BI) to increase their performance, but often, this initiative is not aligned with the business process management (BPM) initiative, which also aims to improve organizational performance. Although some findings from the literature indicate that BI implementation has a positive impact on organizational performance, the impact seems to be indirect. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of how BI maturity is translated into organizational performance. Alignment of BI and BPM initiatives seems one possible way for creating business value with BI, particularly because BI enables process performance measurement and management, which allows the BI initiative to become more business focused.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was prepared and used to collect data in Croatian and Slovenian organizations with more than 50 employees. A BI–BPM alignment measurement instrument was developed for the purpose of this study using the recommended process of scale development and validation. A total of 185 responses were analyzed by the structural equation modeling technique.FindingsOur results provide evidence that the effect of BI on organizational performance is fully mediated by alignment of BI and BPM initiatives, and therefore, BI business value can be generated through the use of common terminology and methodologies, as well as a strong communication between BI and BPM experts, managers and teams in order to coordinate the two initiatives.Originality/valueThis study has responded to the call for better understanding of how the impact of BI on organization performance is realized. It confirmed that BI and BPM initiatives should be aligned in order to give BI a business value.

Market development strategy and process performance of knowledge-intensive SMEs in the epidemic era: a process-oriented perspective

“…In other words, the study identifies the way in which one kind of cross-functional ambidexterity—MDS—guides the resource allocation and value creation process to improve business process performance regarding cross-functional ambidexterity. We have witnessed the customer value perception and enterprise value provision processes from the perspective of innovation efficiency improvement, which complements previous models that provide a holistic framework of BPM for understanding which pieces of information are relevant for business improvement (Suša Vugec, 2020). We provide more detailed outside-in and inside-out perspectives to fully understand the BPM process from a more microscopic view in our research, especially the outside-in customer perspective, which has rarely been studied and is a good complement to existing BPM theory.…”

The Role of Adaptive E-Learning Co-Design as Main Solution to Higher Education’s Marketing Performance

“…The environment measures the success of SBI through the systematic acquisition, collection, interpretation, and exploitation of information to support learning. SBI's role in HEIs is data collection, storage, and knowledge management with elearning sustainability (Suša Vugec et al, 2020), such as customer intelligence, competitors, markets, products, and the environment (Ahmad, 2015).…”

“…These phenomena were the motivation for this study. In addition, there is a gap in previous research that shows that quality information (QI) is yet to be proven to improve successful business intelligence (SBI) (Ahmad, 2015) and organizational performance (Suša Vugec et al, 2020). The inability to increase SBI is caused by a lack of technical support, self-efficacy, social norms (Boateng et al, 2016), adaptive process (Feng & Hui, 2022), education space (Duggal, 2022) and learning-management (Rughoobur-Seetah & Hosanoo, 2021).…”
