Mini-track title: Business Intelligence for Organizational Performance Management

 

Track: Decision Support, Data Management Systems, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence (SIGDSS)

 

Description:

The goal of business intelligence (BI) is to summarize massive amounts of disparate corporate and customer data into succinct information that can help management better understand their business processes, make informed decisions, and measure and improve organizational performance. BI can provide managers with the ability to integrate enterprise-wide data into metrics that link specific objectives to the performance of different business units. In today’s economic downturn, accurate real-time BI metrics are even more critical for measuring and enhancing organizational performance. Many technologies contribute to BI solutions, including databases, data warehouses, data marts, analytic processing, and data mining, among others. BI needs to acquire data from multiple platforms and provide ubiquitous access. This requirement presents numerous managerial challenges. This mini-track aims to promote innovative research in the BI domains of organizational performance measurement and improvement.

• Real-time business metrics for performance measurement
