The Impact of Data Environment and Profitability on Business Intelligence Adoption

摘要

The deployment of business intelligence (BI) involves complex processes of data reconfiguration and resource alignment. This study investigated whether the issues of data environment and profitability affect BI implementation for the manufacturers that have already adopted enterprise resource planning systems. We individually considered the factors of data warehousing, online analytical processing (OLAP), and data mining for the data environment, while return on assets, return on sales, and return on investment were transformed into a single component of profitability using principal component analysis. Through logistic regression, we determined that OLAP and data warehousing play important roles in the adoption of BI; however, data mining and profitability indicated no such influence.
