Zusammenfassung

Der Wissensfundus der Business-Intelligence-(BI)-Forschung wird durch einen Strom heterogener technologischer und organisatorischer Innovationen kontinuierlich erweitert. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt auf, wie sich diese zu einem Leitbild bündeln lassen. Dieses ist für eine Reaktion auf wesentliche sozio-technische Makro-Trends ausgelegt. Die Komponenten des Leitbildes bilden fünf Forschungsstränge, die aus einer umfangreichen Literaturrecherche extrahiert wurden: BI im Geschäftsprozessmanagement, BI über Unternehmensgrenzen hinweg, neue Ansätze im Umgang mit unstrukturierten Daten, agile und benutzergetriebene BI sowie neue Konzepte für eine BI Governance. Das Beispiel des Makrotrends der Verbreitung cyber-physikalischer Systeme illustriert die Argumentation.

Bei der Verfolgung der aufgezeigten Vision ergeben sich diverse offene Forschungsfragen, die eine Koordinierung zahlreicher Forschungsinitiativen aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen erfordern. Durch die Einbettung der diskutierten Problemstellungen in übergreifende Forschungsthemen sowie über das zugrunde liegende Dynamic-Capabilities-Konzept liefert der Ansatz einen Forschungsbeitrag zur Wirtschaftsinformatik.

Abstract

The body of knowledge generated by Business Intelligence (BI) research is constantly extended by a stream of heterogeneous technological and organizational innovations. This paper shows how these can be bundled to a new vision for BI that is aligned with new requirements coming from socio-technical macro trends. The building blocks of the vision come from five research strings that have been extracted from an extensive literature review: BI and Business Process Management, BI across enterprise borders, new approaches of dealing with unstructured data, agile and user-driven BI, and new concepts for BI governance. The macro trend of the diffusion of cyber-physical systems is used to illustrate the argumentation.

The realization of this vision comes with an array of open research questions and requires the coordination of research initiatives from a variety of disciplines. Due to the embedded nature of the addressed topics within general research areas of the Information Systems (IS) discipline and the linking pins that come with the underlying Dynamic Capabilities Approach such research provides a contribution to IS.
