What is BI?


Business Intelligence (BI)

“ The capability of an enterprise to use its human resources together with a broad category of processes, applications and technologies for accessing, collecting and analysing data in order to generate actionable and competitive information that can support its users to make better decisions.”


2,053 CIOs

36 industries

41 countries

“BI is a first priority

in technology

investment”

Gartner Research, 2013

Small and medium sized

enterprises (SMEs) have

lagged in BI uptake.

BI in SMEs

Flawed Decisions• instinctive

knowledge • inadequate

access to information

• loss of productivity

• less agility in the market place

Hilgefort, I 2010, Inside SAP BusinessObjects Explorer, SAP Press, Boston.


TODAY

BI more diverse, flexible, cheaper

and less complex.

SMEs need BI

Research questions

1. What is the state of BI

adoption in SMEs?

2. What are the enabling factors

affecting the adoption of BI

in SMEs?


Developing the research framework

1. Classify the SMEs to levels of BI

adoption

2. Determine the enabling factors affecting

BI adoption


BI Maturity Model

No common classification

of BI level adoption among

researchers.

STEP 2: Determine the enabling factors affecting BI adoption

1. Diffusion of Innovation theory (DOI) by Rogers

(1983,1995,2003)

2. Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE)

framework by Tornatzky and Fleischer (1990)

3. IS adoption model for small business by Thong

(1999)

Theoretical frameworks used


• Innovativeness• IT background

(knowledge)

• Competitive pressure

• Vendor selection

• Size• Age• Absorptive

capacity• Resource

• Relative advantage

• Complexity• Compatibility• Trialability• Observability

BI Adoption in SMEs


• The proposed BI adoption framework is based

on literature review, thus it is open and requires

testing to determine its relevancy and validity in

the practical environment.

Conclusion and Future research directions


• Prospective outcomes are expected to provide a

clearer understanding of the BI adoption rates

which government agencies and IT providers can

design policies and tailor their products in

accelerating BI diffusion among SMEs.

Conclusion and Future research directions
