“…The research has generally argued that BI Investments induce better business performance [e.g., 45,51,52,54]. Some studies are more specialised, and analysed the impacts of BI Investments on specific parts of organizations such as relationship-based marketing [42,43], supply chain management [44,45], risk management [41], and knowledge discovery and management [46,47,50].…”

Much of the research on Business Intelligence (BI) has examined the ability of BI systems to help organizations address challenges and opportunities. However, the literature is fragmented and lacks an overarching framework to integrate findings and systematically guide research. Moreover, researchers and practitioners continue to question the value of BI systems. This study reviews and synthesizes empirical Information System (IS) studies to learn what we know, how well we know, and what we need to know about the processes of organizations obtaining business value from BI systems. The study aims to identify which parts of the BI business value process have been studied and are still most in need of research, and to propose specific research questions for the future. The findings show that organizations appear to obtain value from BI systems according to the process suggested by Soh and Markus (1995), as a chain of necessary conditions from BI investments to BI assets to BI impacts to organizational performance; however, researchers have not sufficiently studied the probabilistic processes that link the necessary conditions together. Moreover, the research has not sufficiently covered all relevant levels of analysis, nor examined how the levels link up. Overall, the paper identified many opportunities for researchers to provide a more complete picture of how organizations can and do obtain value from BI.

“…Organizational performance, in turn, was discussed through the first approach of goal-seeking and goal accomplishment perspectives including productivity [43,52,53,79] and revenue [59,60,81]. It also was studied through the second approach of constituents' satisfaction, e.g., customer satisfaction [42,46,68,77] and employee satisfaction [62].…”

“…[21] concluded that the use of simulation is a money saver which increase the use of simulation; conversely [22] stated that using simulation requires high cost due to the need to develop a specific system to match the training course needs. Furthermore [23] highlighted other limitations of using simulation rather than the high development cost, such as: eliminating face-to-face communications, limitation of students assessment and feedback and the need of suitable infrastructure along with high bandwidth. Nevertheless the study stated that using simulation enhance group collaboration, save travel cost and time for students and will offer a free time and place access.…”

Abstract-Different types of serious games have been used in elucidating computer science areas such as computer games, mobile games, Lego-based games, virtual worlds and webbased games. Different evaluation techniques have been conducted like questionnaires, interviews, discussions and tests. Simulation have been widely used in computer science as a motivational and interactive learning tool. This paper aims to evaluate the possibility of successful implementation of simulation in computer programming modules. A framework is proposed to measure the impact of serious games on enhancing students understanding of key computer science concepts. Experiments will be held on the EEECS of Queen's University Belfast students to test the framework and attain results.

“…Furthermore, there is a range of studies on online simulations and competitions that aim to develop global leadership and managerial competencies for business students (Anderson & Lawton, 2009;Borrajo et al, 2010;Brookes & Becket, 2011;Klein & Fleck, 2001;Lang & Rybnikova, 2012;Michalisin, Karau, & Conrad, 2006;Reeves, Malone, & O'Driscoll, 2008;Zhang & Shrestha, 2010). Different teaching methods in the intercultural communication domain have been shown to influence student learning outcomes (Metzger, Olarian, & Futoran, 1995).…”

Abstract:The increasing importance of global virtual teams in business is reflected in the classroom by the increased adoption of activities that facilitate real-time cross-cultural interaction. This article documents the experience of students from two Colombian universities who participated in a collaborative international project using virtual teams as part of the international business (IB) curriculum. The data reveals that in spite of challenges associated with time zone differences, technology limitations, and trust issues, the vast majority of students perceived that the use of virtual teams as a teaching tool facilitates cultural understanding and IB-relevant learning. The findings of this research suggest that online experiential exercises can be an effective approach in teaching and in the development of virtual collaboration skills.
