Captain: Frank Ficken

Your Crew on board S/Y MARAE Offering a service that goes above and beyond the level of quality typical of a luxury superyacht charter, Marae’s crew are what make a special charter something extraordinary. Whether it’s waiting with cool towels after a warm walk or anticipating your cocktail almost before you’d thought of it, the crew of Marae pay attention to the very smallest details – so you don’t have to. Frank Ficken CAPTAIN Captain: Frank Ficken Frank grew up in Vermont, boating on Lake Champlain most weekends with his family (when the ice was out!). He began sailing out of Newport, RI in the 1980s and began his professional yachting career decades ago. Frank brings many years of experience running large sailing yachts, including SY GEORGIA and the classic schooner TREE OF LIFE. He is also a former skipper of MARAE. Frank is very easy going and loves teaching guests about sailing MARAE. If you feel like dragging yourself away from comfort of the cockpit settees, you might get a chance to help sail her! Frank has both MCA and USCG Master’s licenses with commercial sailing endorsements. A passionate maritime history buff, one of his favorite sailing accomplishments was racing a wooden gaff-rigged schooner from Newport, RI to Bermuda using only a sextant and chronometer for navigation. He is a certified Rescue Diver, a certified Ship’s Medical Officer and also serves as the Race Committee for any guests who feel like racing the twin Laser sailboats that Marae carries. When he’s not sailing, he enjoys water sports, reading and photography. Frank has a great team working with him to ensure that guests always receive unparalleled service, whether you are relaxing in an anchorage or playing with MARAE’s armada of water toys. Steven Strenkert CHEF Steven is a trained chef from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. He has 10 years of experience in 5-star restaurants in New York, California and 15 years as a personal/private chef on estates, motor and sailing yachts on charter and passage in the Caribbean, Mediterranean and the Panama Canal. His approach and love of serving people delicious food is demonstrated through his philosophy of servant leadership. Brianna Alongi STEWARDESS Bri comes from Abita Springs, Louisiana. She picked up a love of fine dining and mixing cocktails from growing up near the city of New Orleans. Bri has been in the yachting industry for two years, cruising areas from the Bahamas to New England before joining the crew of S/Y Marae. For fun she enjoys cooking, exploring new cocktail combinations and snorkeling. Bri's attention to detail and passion for her job will ensure your every need is met and your trip is one to remember. Susie Weaver FIRST MATE/ENGINEER Susie grew up in Santa Barbara, CA, with a father who was a yacht captain/engineer for 40 years and a mother who was a yacht chef. She spent the majority of her childhood holidays sailing aboard her father’s ketch, stopping in the Caribbean and South Pacific, where they visited French Polynesia, The Cook Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. At a young age, she experienced what the world has to offer. After spending over a year in the yachting industry as a mate/engineer, she enrolled at the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, RI studying marine systems. She also holds a USCG 100GT masters license and is a PADI open water certified scuba diver. Susie is onboard to keep Marae in ship shape and ensure smooth sailing. Susie is also the person in charge of Marae’s many toys. Whether you wish to race around in the Lasers, kayak, paddleboard, or use one of the towable tubes, wakeboards, or water skis, she will make sure everything is prepared for a fun, safe time.

  • wpcf_mainimg_description: MARAE, pronounced Mar-eye 108' Pilothouse Sloop, "Best Sailing Yacht", International Superyacht Design Award, 2004 The name Marae has origins from the native Maori tribe in New Zealand meaning a special meeting place for family and friends. With Marae's New Zealand construction by Alloy Yachts, the name is a natural fit. This elegant yacht must be seen to fully appreciate her but in the interim the following description must suffice. On deck Marae has a private aft cockpit with collapsible spray hood and direct access to the master stateroom. This cockpit area is equipped with large cushions for lounging. A fold out stern section provides comfortable steps and a sturdy swim platform. Moving forward are the port and starboard steering stations, followed by a covered center cockpit with U-shaped sofas to port and starboard and hi-lo table for dinner or cocktails. These areas can be converted to lounging pads. Side windows slide open and a removable aft Isenglass curtain protects against the elements. A protected helm station is located to starboard. Captive winches keep the teak decks free of clutter. The interior woodwork on MARAE consists of stained walnut and is complemented by luxurious fabrics and crisp white linens, down duvets and down pillows in the staterooms. The upper saloon has a full wet bar with stools and a leather U-shaped sofa with coffee table that converts into a comfortable lounging area with panoramic views. Main saloon with comfortable sofas, coffee table and dining table seating six is located below, galley and crew areas are forward of the saloon and guest accommodations aft of the saloon. The master stateroom is full width aft with private access to the aft deck. Centerline queen size bed, office and en suite bath room. Roomy stall shower with built in seat. Private staircase from the master stateroom to the aft cockpit. Double guest cabin with en suite bath room, stall shower and built in shower seat. Twin guest cabin with Pullman berth and en suite bath room and stall shower. <p align="center">Go to Friendly MARAE Website: <a target="_blank" href="http://WWW.SYMARAE.COM">WWW.SYMARAE.COM</a> </p>

With Marae's New Zealand construction by Alloy Yachts, the name is a natural fit. This elegant yacht must be seen to fully appreciate her but in the interim the following description must suffice. On deck Marae has a private aft cockpit with collapsible spray hood and direct access to the master stateroom. This cockpit area is equipped with large cushions for lounging. A fold out stern section provides comfortable steps and a sturdy swim platform. Moving forward are the port and starboard steering stations, followed by a covered center cockpit with U-shaped sofas to port and starboard and hi-lo table for dinner or cocktails. These areas can be converted to lounging pads. Side windows slide open and a removable aft Isenglass curtain protects against the elements. A protected helm station is located to starboard. Captive winches keep the teak decks free of clutter. The interior woodwork on MARAE consists of stained walnut and is complemented by luxurious fabrics and crisp white linens, down duvets and down pillows in the staterooms. The upper saloon has a full wet bar with stools and a leather U-shaped sofa with coffee table that converts into a comfortable lounging area with panoramic views. Main saloon with comfortable sofas, coffee table and dining table seating six is located below, galley and crew areas are forward of the saloon and guest accommodations aft of the saloon. The master stateroom is full width aft with private access to the aft deck. Centerline queen size bed, office and en suite bath room. Roomy stall shower with built in seat. Private staircase from the master stateroom to the aft cockpit. Double guest cabin with en suite bath room, stall shower and built in shower seat. Twin guest cabin with Pullman berth and en suite bath room and stall shower. &lt;p align="center"&gt;Go to Friendly MARAE Website: &lt;a target="_blank"

Whether it&rsquo;s waiting with cool towels after a warm walk or anticipating your cocktail almost before you&rsquo;d thought of it, the crew of Marae pay attention to the very smallest details &ndash; so you don&rsquo;t have to.<br /> <br /> Frank Ficken CAPTAIN<br /> Captain: Frank Ficken<br /> <br /> Frank grew up in Vermont, boating on Lake Champlain most weekends with his family (when the ice was out!). He began sailing out of Newport, RI in the 1980s and began his professional yachting career decades ago. Frank brings many years of experience running large sailing yachts, including SY GEORGIA and the classic schooner TREE OF LIFE. He is also a former skipper of MARAE. <br /> <br /> Frank is very easy going and loves teaching guests about sailing MARAE. If you feel like dragging yourself away from comfort of the cockpit settees, you might get a chance to help sail her! Frank has both MCA and USCG Master&rsquo;s licenses with commercial sailing endorsements. A passionate maritime history buff, one of his favorite sailing accomplishments was racing a wooden gaff-rigged schooner from Newport, RI to Bermuda using only a sextant and chronometer for navigation.<br /> He is a certified Rescue Diver, a certified Ship&rsquo;s Medical Officer and also serves as the Race Committee for any guests who feel like racing the twin Laser sailboats that Marae carries. When he&rsquo;s not sailing, he enjoys water sports, reading and photography.<br /> <br /> Frank has a great team working with him to ensure that guests always receive unparalleled service, whether you are relaxing in an anchorage or playing with MARAE&rsquo;s armada of water toys.<br /> <br /> <br /> Steven Strenkert CHEF<br /> <br /> Steven is a trained chef from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America.

Once on board you will be able to discuss plans each day over breakfast – the wonderful thing about a private yacht charter is that YOU get to decide the pace of the trip and that in consultation with the Captain the itinerary is entirely flexible.

The British Virgin Islands are suited to families with young children and those new to sailing;   St Barths & St Martin offer similar glitz and glamour to the French Riviera;   St Kitts, Nevis & Antigua are all about historical colonial charm (and some amazing beaches); Dominica, St Lucia & St Vincent are full of lush rainforest, water-falls & stunning scenery; and the Grenadines are a beautiful group of Islands with great variety and world class diving.

Availability

Once we know your preferred cruising area we’ll send a selection of recommended yachts - you’ll see crew details, photos, menus and full specifications, we’ll then liaise with the yacht owners to confirm costs and availability.

Some yachts will have a home base for the season, and charge delivery or re-positioning fees for charters starting outside the home port.

The name Marae, pronounced as ‘Mar-eye’, has origins in the native New Zealand Maori tribe and it means a special meeting place for family and friends.  As Alloy Yachts are New Zealand based shipyard, the name is a genuinely natural fit. One of the best features of the yacht is a private aft cockpit on deck, which has a collapsible sprayhood, providing direct access to the master suite down below. The cockpit area is equipped with large cushions for lounging and it can also comfortably seat all guests for lovely al-fresco meals and panoramic views of the surrounding coastline during any of your super yacht charter cruises and whatever yacht charter itinerary is chosen.

Moving forward from the stern are the port and starboard steering stations, followed by one of MARAE's best features - a deck salon with a U-shaped sofa to port, an L-shaped one to starboard and hi-lo table for meals and cocktails. Side windows slide open and a removable aft Isenglass curtain protects against the elements. Very useful captive winches keep MARAE's sweeping teak decks free of clutter, while the protected helm station is located to starboard.

The upper saloon has a full wet bar with stools and a leather U-shaped sofa surrounding a coffee table that converts into a comfortable lounging area.

The Surprise of His Life

  • By Kim Kavin
  • Updated: April 2, 2016

Chef, Marae, Yacht

The box was wrapped in beautiful paper and waiting on the table when the father walked through the door. His wife and their adult children knew what was inside. They had kept it a secret for months. They gathered around, trying to hide their grins as they wished him a happy 60th birthday. The family held its collective breath as he opened the lid. A person they loved dearly was about to realize his lifelong dream.

The first thing the father saw was an 11-by-14 glossy photo. He picked it up and swooned over the lovely, traditional lines of the 108-foot Alloy Marae . Then he saw the Marae ball cap and polo shirt, both in his size. They were atop a bed of brochures for the cruising grounds in and around Newport, Rhode Island.

“You bought me a yacht?” he shrieked, turning wide-eyed to his wife while mentally calculating the family finances.

Marae

“He took a deep breath to realize we only chartered it for a couple of days, which was a much different financial investment,” she recalls with a laugh. “And then he started to look through everything, and he was so excited. He went right to the computer and started to look at Narragansett Bay, to understand whether he could get to Block Island, what would we do, where would we go. He spent the next five weeks making notes about everything, being very methodical about what he wanted to accomplish.”

Marae, at a lowest weekly base rate of $54,000 in New England, was a larger sailing yacht than she had planned for the family’s first-ever charter. But when she’d called Nicholson Yachts and told the broker that her husband stood 6-foot-5 — and that one son was 6-foot-4 while another was nearly 6-foot-10 — the broker advised skipping the smaller options.

Cake, Party, Marae, Yacht

And so the family found themselves walking up the dock the first night of their charter, trying to spot the yacht’s mast against the nighttime stars.

“The mast was illuminated in the dark sky. We originally thought it was a cell tower,” the wife says. “We had no idea the yacht was going to be as big as she was. We just could not believe how much space there was — and again, we’re talking about very big people.”

They didn’t even notice the weather. Capt. Frank Ficken had changed the pickup spot to the Hinckley facility in Portsmouth because winds in the 30s were blowing out of the north. Narragansett Bay already had gust-driven 2-footers rolling through the scenic anchorage off Goat Island in Newport. He wanted to ease the first-time sailors in slowly, until they could get used to being aboard.

Party, Marae, Yacht

The family didn’t realize that sleeping tied to the dock that night probably saved them a good deal of motion sickness. They instead were thrilled to cast off in the next morning’s daylight, when they could see everything happening all around them.

“The first morning, we weren’t sailing very fast, just moving along nicely, but the boat was pretty stable,” Ficken recalls. “We didn’t bury the rail or anything. We were probably doing 7 or 8 knots when we probably could’ve been doing 12 if we’d been with the owner. The next day, we put up a little more sail, then more the next day. At that point, we were sailing like they were lifelong sailors. They were driving the boat, we buried the rail — they had a blast.”

Ficken pointed the bow toward Block Island, which offered smaller crowds than Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket during the holiday weekend. When the family arrived, they rented bicycles. The wife had thought that seeing the island would be the best part of the trip.

“We were out there for about two hours, and we looked at each other and said, ‘What the hell are we doing this for?’” she recalls. “We turned around and went back to use the toys on the boat, the rafts, the paddleboards — we just wanted to be on the boat.”

Food, Marae, Yacht

Ficken remembers that same moment, only from the children’s point of view. He watched them as they watched their parents acting like teenagers, taking advantage of every water toy Marae carries.

“They couldn’t believe their mom was riding on the inflatable tube behind the tender,” Ficken says. “The sons were on the aft deck, watching and saying, ‘What are the odds that we would ever see mom doing that? One in a million?’ They couldn’t believe the fun she was having.”

The wife, being a first-time charterer, hadn’t asked for a birthday party for her husband. “I am not familiar with what goes on,” she says, “and I didn’t want to ask for any special acknowledgment.”

Nonetheless, chef Sue Ficken (Frank’s wife) and Marae’s crew arranged for balloons, happy birthday signs and, of course, a cake: Black Forest double-chocolate with imported black cherries, shaved chocolate and buttercream frosting.

“The presentation on the tabletop — I could go on for an hour,” the wife says. “We were transformed out of ourselves when we were on that boat. The five of us were someplace else.”

Food, Party, Marae, Yacht

They enjoyed that feeling underway too, as they got comfortable with the motion of the yacht through the water. Experienced sailors can forget how it feels the first time you catch a good gust, look out toward the horizon and realize it’s just you, the yacht and the elements.

For this family, that moment was every bit as awe-inspiring as the husband and wife had always dreamed it would be.

“There’s a tactile experience of watching those sails unfurl, the light that comes through, the fresh air in your hair, the boat moving,” the wife says. “You feel so small against the grandeur of an unfurled sail. You’re looking up, and you just cannot believe you’re in the middle of this. If you’re not a person who is used to this, and this is new for you, you think, ‘I’ve done everything. I’ve gotten on jets. I’ve gone on cruises. I’ve been all over the world.’ You think nothing can really surprise you until you stand there and feel all that going on around you. There is nothing like it. I’ve had a very blessed life. I’ve had a lot of amazing experiences. Nothing can compare to the feeling of standing on that boat and sailing along.”

Fish, Food, Marae, Yacht

While the family’s finances don’t allow for this type of experience every year, she’s already saving to surprise her husband and family with another go. One day aboard, she heard the captain say in passing that Maine has a beautiful coastline.

The comment is stuck in her mind, she says, because one thing she learned as a first-time charterer is to trust the experts. Get the bigger yacht if your sons are tall. Trust that the crew will make your husband’s birthday amazing. Don’t dream of far-flung places when something stunning is waiting to be explored close to home.

“I figure, you only go around one time. We’re going to do it,” she says. “My kids are still talking about it, and my husband — it will always be etched in our hearts as one of the most extraordinary experiences of our lives.”

By Rebecca Bradbury   7 August 2018

The 33m/108ft superyacht MARAE from Alloy Yachts is offering a 10 percent discount on charters taking place from 15 September to 15 December as she makes her way from New England down through the Chesapeake Bay and into the northern Caribbean for the winter season.

Capturing the essence of a classic yacht while offering the spaciousness, engineering and amenities of a brand new build, MARAE delivers a superb charter experience for discerning travellers.

Combining the renowned build pedigree of New Zealand shipyard Alloy Yachts and design from Ted Fontaine, the award-winning sailing yacht underwent a major refit in 2014 and promises unsurpassed luxury and enjoyment to charterers taking advantage of her special rate this winter.

The yacht takes her name for the Polynesian word for social or meeting place and, living up to her moniker, she features an array of inviting spaces for charterers to spend time with friends and family on their private yacht charter , all while soaking up the gorgeous surrounds.

Offering the perfect indoor-outdoor space is the pilothouse cockpit. With a large table and ample seating, this is an ideal place to dine and entertain with the helm and sailing controls located nearby, perfect for those wanting to get involved in the sailing without being separated from their group.

Forward of the pilothouse is the upper salon complete with a full-service bar and a TV, while the aft cockpit offers a more intimate space for sunbathing and submersible steps on the stern allow guests to cool off in the refreshing waters or access the exciting water toy collection.

Below decks, warm walnut and sumptuous furnishings offer a comfortable yet elegant atmosphere which immediately puts all those aboard at ease. Guests can relax in a casual social area complete with sofas, armchairs and a TV and enjoy formal dinners around an inviting dining table.

Other highlights of luxury yacht MARAE include a shallow draft, which allows her to get closer to the shore than most other vessels of her size. This enables charterers to access coves, bays and islets usually off limits to superyacht-goers while exploring New England and the Caribbean .

After a day at sea, guests can retreat into one of three cabins, including a master suite, a double cabin and a twin cabin. Up to six guests can sleep on board during a charter vacation.

Business/Management Dissertation & Theses

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a business-related research topic, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses to see how this all comes together.

Below, we’ve included a selection of research projects from various management-related degree programs (e.g., MBAs, DBAs, etc.) to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

Looking at these titles, you can probably pick up that the research topics here are quite specific and narrowly-focused , compared to the generic ones presented earlier. This is an important thing to keep in mind as you develop your own research topic. That is to say, to create a top-notch research topic, you must be precise and target a specific context with specific variables of interest . In other words, you need to identify a clear, well-justified research gap.

35 years of research on business intelligence process: a synthesis of a fragmented literature

Management Research Review

ISSN : 2040-8269

Article publication date: 7 December 2020

Issue publication date: 7 May 2021

The business intelligence (BI) research witnessed a proliferation of contributions during the past three decades, yet the knowledge about the interdependencies between the BI process and organizational context is scant. This has resulted in a proliferation of fragmented literature duplicating identical endeavors. Although such pluralism expands the understanding of the idiosyncrasies of BI conceptualizations, attributes and characteristics, it cannot cumulate existing contributions to better advance the BI body of knowledge. In response, this study aims to provide an integrative framework that integrates the interrelationships across the BI process and its organizational context and outlines the covered research areas and the underexplored ones.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper reviews 120 articles spanning the course of 35 years of research on BI process, antecedents and outcomes published in top tier ABS ranked journals.

Building on a process framework, this review identifies major patterns and contradictions across eight dimensions, namely, environmental antecedents; organizational antecedents; managerial and individual antecedents; BI process; strategic outcomes; firm performance outcomes; decision-making; and organizational intelligence. Finally, the review pinpoints to gaps in linkages across the BI process, its antecedents and outcomes for future researchers to build upon.

Practical implications

This review carries some implications for practitioners and particularly the role they ought to play should they seek actionable intelligence as an outcome of the BI process. Across the studies this review examined, managerial reluctance to open their intelligence practices to close examination was omnipresent. Although their apathy is understandable, due to their frustration regarding the lack of measurability of intelligence constructs, managers manifestly share a significant amount of responsibility in turning out explorative and descriptive studies partly due to their defensive managerial participation. Interestingly, managers would rather keep an ineffective BI unit confidential than open it for assessment in fear of competition or bad publicity. Therefore, this review highlights the value open participation of managers in longitudinal studies could bring to the BI research and by extent the new open intelligence culture across their organizations where knowledge is overt, intelligence is participative, not selective and where double loop learning alongside scholars is continuous. Their commitment to open participation and longitudinal studies will help generate new research that better integrates the BI process within its context and fosters new measures for intelligence performance.

Originality/value

This study provides an integrative framework that integrates the interrelationships across the BI process and its organizational context and outlines the covered research areas and the underexplored ones. By so doing, the developed framework sets the ground for scholars to further develop insights within each dimension and across their interrelationships.

Introduction

The business intelligence (BI) process research has grown exponentially during the past three decades into a fragmented state drawing from a diverse set of studies with widely different contributions ( Talaoui and Kohtamäki, 2020 ). Although this pluralism is necessary for the BI process research to generate momentum from insightful findings, it can yield a disjointed theoretical progress if it lacks proper literature reviews that uncover what is already known and set a direction for the way ahead (Hart, 1998 ; Rowe, 2014). Unfortunately, extant reviews of the BI process research still focus on the scheme that BI follows to provide actionable intelligence for organizations to act upon (Jourdan et al. , 2008 ) rather than the context where this process occurs and guide organizations (Bingham and Eisenhardt, 2011 ; Loock and Hinnen, 2015 ). For instance, the stock of previous reviews on BI research focused on its attributes and conceptualization (Ekbia et al. , 2015 ), its methodologies and research strategies (Jourdan et al. , 2008 ), its application to operations models (Roden et al. , 2017 ), its contribution to business value (Trieu, 2017 ) or decision-making (Mora et al. , 2005 ), its dimensions and taxonomy (Holsapple et al. , 2014 ), its usage (Watson and Wixom, 2007 ), its field development (Arnott and Pervan , 2005, 2014 ; Toit, 2015 ), its attitudes (Rouach and Santi, 2001 ), its characteristics and applications (Chen et al. , 2012 ; Eom and Kim, 2006 ; Moro et al. , 2015 ), its technologies and challenges (Shim et al. , 2002 ; Sivarajah et al. , 2017 ) and its trends (Watson, 2009 ).

To this date, no literature review has examined the BI process and its interrelationships with the organizational context. To address this gap, our paper synthesizes the body of knowledge of the BI process to discern patterns of the interrelated relationships of its characteristics, and its context, i.e. antecedents and outcomes (Hutzschenreuter and Kleindienst, 2006 ; Rajagopalan et al. , 1993 ; Van De Ven, 1992 ). We follow other scholars’ conceptualization of BI process as an integrative sequence that encompasses the collection, transformation and usage (Chen et al. , 2012 ; Davenport and Paul Barth, 2012 ; Trieu, 2017 ) that occurs in an organizational context, exerts an influence upon it and is shaped by its antecedents (Bingham and Eisenhardt, 2011 ; Loock and Hinnen, 2015 ).

To capture the BI process within its context, we follow the process framework of Hutzschenreuter and Kleindienst (2006) , Rajagopalan et al. (1993) and Van De Ven (1992) for it allows to position the BI process within its organizational context and explore their interrelated linkages. In this vein, we purposefully follow Levy and Ellis (2006) and Webster and Watson (2002) ’s “effective methodology” of conducting systematic reviews in cross-disciplinary research such as the BI process body of knowledge and adheres to its processual scheme to select 120 articles published in top tier ABS ranked journals that we synthesize and integrate drawing from the process view framework that emphasizes the role of organizational context (Hutzschenreuter and Kleindienst, 2006 ; Rajagopalan et al. , 1993 ; Fischer et al. , 2016 ; Vaara and Lamberg, 2014 ). By so doing, we seek to synthesize the contributions of prior studies on the BI process and its organizational context and pinpoint to gaps in linkages across the BI process, its antecedents and outcomes for future researchers to build upon. The paper begins with a detailed explanation of our systematic method, then presents our synthetic review and concludes with research gaps for further studies.

Methodology

It addresses the peculiar and cross-disciplinary nature of the IS research in general and the BI body of knowledge in particular.

It follows a process protocol of literature reviews that fits our process perspective of integrating the BI body of knowledge.

Following Levy and Ellis (2006) , a high-quality input yields a high-quality output if it adheres to comprehensiveness, quality and relevance inclusion criteria. To ensure comprehensiveness, we go beyond the IT contributions on BI and extend our search scope beyond one database to capture all fruitful work regardless of its inherent discipline (Levy and Ellis, 2006 ). We, therefore, use four scientific databases, reputable among scholars of management, marketing and information management fields, namely, ABI/Inform, EBSCO academic search elite, EBSCO business premier, Emerald journals (Levy and Ellis, 2006 ; Webster and Watson, 2002 ). We conducted a pilot search of keywords in the aforementioned databases with two keywords, namely, BI and competitive intelligence. The intention of this trial was to gather all keywords related to both concepts. In total, 26 keywords were deemed appropriate for this review. Boolean operators (“AND” and “OR”) and the asterisk “*” wildcard were used to concatenate the keywords set to generate multiple query strings that returned 11,745 hits across the four databases from 1985 through 2020 as Table 1 depicts. We selected 1990 as a starting year of our search as it represents the inception of BI (Chen et al. , 2012 ; Davenport et al. , 2001 ). A first scrutiny of the hits sought the elimination of duplicates shrinking the set of papers to 780 including conference papers, which we excluded because their research rigor is inferior to top journals and are not subjected to a rigorous peer review process (Culnan, 1978 ; Levy and Ellis, 2006 ; Webster and Watson, 2002 ). Besides, the high quality input criterion Levy and Ellis (2006) and Webster and Watson (2002) impose limits our sample to articles published in high quality peer reviewed journals of a reputable ranking because they are likely to contain the major contributions we ought to deal with to ensure rigor and leading theoretical discussions on BI (Levy and Ellis, 2006 ; Vogel, 2012 ; Webster and Watson, 2002 ). Therefore, we chose the ABS journal ranking because it offers an extensive cross-disciplinary list that is corroborated by a documented hybrid and iterative ranking process based upon peer reviews, peers’ consensus and citations (Mingers and Willcocks, 2017 ; Morris et al. , 2009 ), which, in turn, offers us a credible guide that we can gauge papers against with confidence (Levy and Ellis, 2006 ; Morris et al. , 2009 ; Webster and Watson, 2002 ). This high-quality criterion reduced our sample to 290 articles whose abstracts we read and evaluated against our relevance criterion that, based on the research gap and motivation, deems only articles addressing BI process, antecedents or outcomes relevant to the review at hand. This step reduced the sample to 113 articles that contain one or several linkages to the BI process, antecedents or outcomes. To verify the comprehensiveness of our sample and prevent the exclusion of any older and relevant contribution, we conducted a backward search that consists of reviewing the reference lists in our final set of papers to identify any work that our time frame criterion might have excluded and/or that our databases search might not have revealed (Bandara et al. , 2015 ; Levy and Ellis, 2006 ; Müller and Jensen, 2017 ; Thennakoon et al. , 2018 ; Webster and Watson, 2002 ). Our backward search analyzed each title in the reference lists of the 113 articles and identified 7 seminal works published prior to 1990 such as El Sawy (1985) and Ghoshal and Kim (1986) , which, in turn, extended our final sample to 120 articles. We gauged the census of this review complete when no new concepts or relationships were identified in the literature set (Levy and Ellis, 2006 ; Webster and Watson, 2002 ).

A synthetic framework of the business intelligence process

According to Levy and Ellis (2006) and Webster and Watson (2002) , a good literature review offers a complete census of its synthesis and follows an analytical framework to structure the body of knowledge it deals with. As a corollary, we followed the process linkage exploring framework of Hutzschenreuter and Kleindienst (2006) and Rajagopalan et al. (1993) because it emphasizes the role of organizational context (Vaara and Lamberg, 2014 ) and the mediating mechanisms that reveal the causality between antecedents and outcomes (Fischer et al. , 2016 ). We coded all articles using a two-digit key (01–120) that we plotted in Table 2 to provide summaries of the studies. Our thorough review of the 120 articles revealed shared patterns along which three streams were discernable, namely, antecedents, BI process and outcomes. In addition, our analysis revealed that each article focused on different interrelationships across the organizational context of the BI process. For the sake of comprehensiveness and in-depth analysis, we marked each article with a linkage code composed of a letter designating the contextual domain [(1) antecedents; (2) BI process; and (3) outcome] and a number that refers to the factor responsible of the relationship between contextual domains:

Antecedents . Similar to biological organisms, firms’ actions are often constrained by their external environments (Brownlie, 1994 ). This implies that organizations should constantly monitor their respective environments to ensure the detection of plausible alterations susceptible of jeopardizing their competitive advantage. Their BI processes are, hence, influenced by environmental factors (A-I) such as uncertainty ( Hubert and Daft, 1987 ), complexity ( Child, 1972 ), rate of change ( Daft et al. , 1988 ), importance ( Aaker, 1983 ; Pfeffer and Salancik, 1978 ), culture (Leidner et al. , 1999 ) and competitive pressures ( Zhu and Kraemer, 2005 ). Further influence on the BI process can be attributed to the organizational context (A-II). This may include organizational factors such as size (Yasai-Ardekani and Nystrom, 1996 ), institutional isomorphism ( DiMaggio and Powell, 1983 ), core technologies (Thompson, 1967), structural flux (Maltz and Kohli, 1996 ), market orientation ( Narver and Slater, 1990 ) and IT sophistication ( Armstrong and Sambamurthy, 1999 ). Finally, managerial and individual attitudes (A-III) affects the BI process through managerial heterogeneity (Cho, 2006 ), experience ( Thomas et al. , 1991 ), managerial attitude (Qiu, 2008 ; Pryor et al. , 2019 ), absorptive capacity (Elbashir et al. , 2011 ) and decision roles ( Mintzberg, 1973 ).

BI process. While alterations in the aforementioned antecedents are believed to impact the BI process, characteristics of this latter are also crucial for understanding the different patterns of the BI process literature. At the outset, the intelligence collection phase (B-I) is pictured as the first link between a firm and its environment, whereby it can comprehend the happenings and remain vigilant to changes ( Hambrick, 1981 ; Lönnqvist and Pirttimäki, 2006 ; Turban et al. , 2010 ). Traditionally, the collection phase was fed through open and human sources. However, with the advent of the internet, it faced the challenge of information overload (Chen et al. , 2002 ). The abundance of data created a lack of executives’ attention, and called for a more tailored intelligence transformation phase (B-II) to support managerial action ( Fabbe-Costes et al. , 2014 ; Christen et al. , 2009 ). In response, the BI analysts used computerized decision support systems to prepare the requested intelligence for executives (Leidner and Elam, 1993 ). Such decision aids stimulated, eventually, the design of the executive information system with the purpose of retrieving the information related to internal operations and the business environment ( Turban and Schaeffer, 1987 ; Turban et al. , 2010 ). A further scrutiny of the transformation phase (B-II) reveals that both structured and unstructured data are extracted from operational and external sources, then prepared and loaded into the data warehouse, for a later clustering into Data Marts. This process is usually performed through the extract-transform-load (ETL) application. On the one hand, the data warehouse usually deploys a relational database management system (RDBMS) to store data and rapidly execute queries across a wide range of data. On the other hand, the data warehouse is corroborated by an online analytic processing (OLAP) server in charge of filtering, and drawing thorough analysis (slicing and dicing, drill down…) of the data, which, in turn, is communicated to the user interface (dashboards, spreadsheets…) that yields the way to the Usage phase (B-III) (Chaudhuri et al. , 2011 ; Sen and Sinha, 2005 ; Singh et al. , 2002 ). This last phase of the BI process offers the required capability to conduct predictive analysis, streamline intelligence content and ensure an effective practice of the BI process and its alignment across organizational culture, analytical capabilities and the human capital propensity for BI (Holsapple et al. , 2014 ; Viaene and Bunder, 2011 ; Chaudhuri et al. , 2011 ; Sen and Sinha, 2005 ; Singh et al. , 2002 ).

Outcomes . The BI process was found related to certain outcomes (C): of a strategic order (C-I) such as strategic management process (Hofer, 1978 ) and managerial representations of competitive advantage ( Porac and Thomas, 1990 ); at a firm performance level (C-II) such as share of wallet ( Zeithaml, 1988 ), customer perceived value (Hughes et al. , 2013 ), product development (Lynn, 1998) and superior sales growth (Slater and Narver, 2000 ); related to decision-making (C-III) including decision-making speed (Leidner and Elam, 1995 ), problem identification speed (Leidner and Elam, 1995 ) and extent of analysis ( Miller and Friesen, 1980 ); and under the umbrella of organizational intelligence (C-IV) encompassing perceived intelligence quality (Popovič et al. , 2012 ), perceived information availability (Leidner and Elam, 1995 ), intelligence use (Maltz and Kohli, 1996 ), receiver’s trust ( Moorman et al. , 1992 ) and insight generation speed (Heinrichs and Lim, 2003 ).

After plotting the linkages of each study in Table 2 , we sought to allow for a visual display of the linkages explored, and the ones overlooked, therefore we juxtaposed the elements of the BI process (BI-II-III), antecedents (AI-II-III) and outcomes (CI-II-III) in a review matrix, exhibited in Figure 1 , where rows represent the independent variables, and columns represent the dependent variables, and each coded study (01–120) is allocated into its appropriate linkage cell. Finally, we synthesized and depicted the aforementioned interrelationships in the form of an integrative framework we present in Figure 2 . The framework displays three clusters of antecedents (A), namely, environmental factors (A-I), organizational factors (A-II) and managerial and individual attitudes (A-III); three characteristics of the BI process (B), namely, collection (B-I), transformation (B-II), usage (B-III); and four sets of outcomes (C), namely, strategic (C-I), firm performance (C-II), decision-making (C-III) and organizational intelligence (C-IV). Research within the framework falls into four categories, namely, the first one explores the influence of the antecedents on the BI process (A-I-II-III – B-I-II-III); the second explores the BI phases separately, describing the state of affairs and prescribing optimal processes (B-I-II-III); the third set of studies examines the linkages between the BI process and its ensuing outcomes (B-I-II-III – C-I-II-III-IV); and the fourth set of studies examines the moderating role of antecedents on the relationship between the BI process and outcomes (A-I-II-III – B-I-II-III – C-I-II-III-IV).

Literature synthesis

Stream 1: the influence of antecedents on the bi process (links a-i-ii-iii – b-i-ii-iii).

The environmental influence on the BI process motivated multiple studies that shaped the first cluster of this stream, although the nature of this linkage is still equivocal. This is due to inconsistent views of environmental heterogeneity and uncertainty, and the partial accounts of the BI process. These treatments, rooted in management, bifurcate into two strands. First, a constellation of studies that focus on the frequency and scope of BI collection (Boyd and Fulk, 1996 ; Daft et al. , 1988 ; Ebrahimi, 2000 ; Elenkov, 1997 ; Maltz and Kohli, 1996 ; May et al. , 2000 ; Sawyerr, 1993 ). Their findings are at best exploratory and piecemeal as they adopt a “one rule fits all” approach to different environmental layers (e.g. political, customer, direct and remote) let alone country-level contexts (e.g. developed vs developing). By so doing, they overlook the peculiarities of developing economies where other informal pressures and singularities (cultural, institutional and cognitive) moderate the relationship between the environment and BI collection. The second thread of studies examine executives’ goal orientations (Pryor et al. , 2019 ), strategic priorities (Opait et al. , 2016 ) quality of information source (El Sawy, 1985 ; Jones and McLeod, 1986 ; Robinson and Simmons, 2017 ), experience and educational background (Cho, 2006 ), entrepreneurial attitude (Qiu, 2008 ), intuitive judgments (Constantiou et al. , 2019 ) and boundary spanners’ intelligence effort (Le Bon and Merunka, 2006 ; Mariadoss et al. , 2014 ), customer orientation (Hughes et al. , 2013 ). Unfortunately, these studies overlook to consider the collection activity as a formal unit within the organization, and explore the informal BI collection and source selection of boundary spanners and executives despite previous evidence of their bounded rationality (Cyert and March, 1963 ). Besides, we still know little about the upper management’s cognitive and managerial characteristics, which implicitly determine their BI collection, not to mention the need to verify, which leadership approach serves best this activity. Credit is given to Elbashir et al. (2011) , being the only scholars of this stream who examined the influence of the absorptive capacity of managers on BI assimilation. Similar studies must follow this line to explore the influence of absorptive capacity on the entirety of the BI process. To this date, all we know, in this context, is the positive influence of the absorptive capacity of managers on organizations’ BI assimilation (Elbashir et al. , 2011 ). Further, studies examining boundary spanners collecting and gathering of intelligence like their engagement to their desire for upward mobility and recognition. Therefore, boundary spanners’ involvement in BI collection is a variable of managerial stimulation, and hence, more studies are needed to examine the moderating effect of management appraisal on the linkage between BI collection and boundary spanners’ scope and frequency of BI collection.

The significant focus of management scholars on the environment and the managerial and individual factors as the primary antecedents of the BI process came at the expense of overlooking the organizational factors susceptible of influencing the BI process. Conversely, studies, rooted in marketing and decision support, shed light on the ability of the organizational context to alter the BI process, particularly the collection phase and its linkage to decentralized organizational culture (Babbar and Rai, 1993), size and core technologies (Yasai-Ardekani and Nystrom, 1996), inter-functional distance and structural flux (Maltz and Kohli, 1996 ), organizational market orientation (Qiu, 2008 ), resource scarcity (Christen et al. , 2009 ), institutional isomorphism (Ramakrishnan et al. , 2012 ), analytical culture (Holsapple et al. , 2014 ; Popovič et al. , 2012 ); IT infrastructure (Elbashir et al. , 2011 ), organizational culture ( Leidner and Elam, 1995 , 1999 ) and organizational beliefs (Reinmoeller and Ansari, 2016 ). Although harmonious in its uniformity, this line of research was limited to the BI collection phase except for two studies that extended their focus to BI support and its linkage to organizational orientation and culture (Lin and Kunnathur, 2019 ) and organizational tensions (Kowalczyk and Buxmann, 2015 ).

Stream 2: the business intelligence process (links B-I-II-III)

The review of the literature illustrates a shared conceptual meaning, across marketing and management scholars, regarding the nature of BI collection as an activity that seeks to proactively monitor a dynamic environment and that ends once data has been collected (Babbar and Rai, 1993 ; Bernhardt, 1994 ; Calof and Wright, 2008 ; Slater and Narver, 2000 ). Unfortunately, the literature within this stream was considerably explorative of the BI collection activities and practices ( Taylor, 1992 ; Vedder et al. , 1999 ; Dishman and Calof, 2008 ; Wright et al. , 2009 ). While some marketing scholars emphasized the use of Bayes’ theorem to determine when more collection becomes cost (Michaeli and Simon, 2008 ), other explored information sources companies use (Fleisher et al. , 2008 ; Lasserre, 1993 ; Peyrot et al. , 1996 ) or developed indices to evaluate the adaptability of firm capabilities to BI collection of boundary spanners (Hallin et al. , 2017 ) or to collect BI from disaggregated data (Kumar et al. , 2020 ). While a stream of scholars examined trust in BI collection quality (Robinson and Simmons, 2017 ), others investigated the type and source of the collected intelligence (Peyrot et al. , 1996 ) or the capabilities to decode each type of intelligence be it soft (Lasserre, 1993 ) or web-based (Fleisher, 2008 ; Pawar and Sharda, 1997 ). On the other hand, an apparent discussion within this stream involves the collection approach, i.e. the comprehensive vs the project-based model. A priori, the comprehensive mode seems a better fit to broad strategic decisions, while the ad-hoc approach is more project-oriented. The narrowed focus of the project-based approach is believed to generate more accurate intelligence compared to the holistic model (Prescott and Smith, 1987 ). Nonetheless, this paradox shifts the debate to the culture and the core business of organizations. For some scholars, organizations might choose to participate in the environment rather than passively observing it (Brownlie, 1994 ). By so doing, the underpinning motive of such an activity swings from BI collection to sense giving (Gioia and Chittipeddi, 1991 ), from informing to influencing, from a mere passive to proactive BI collection (Brownlie, 1994 ). Other scholars suggest that ambidexterity arises as a reasonable option whereby the firm can develop two cultures, namely, one for sensing peripheral patterns; the other is core business-oriented (Brown, 2004 ; O’Reilley and Tushman, 2002 ; Ghosal and Westney, 1991 ; Gilad et al. , 1993 ).

Conversely, literature with scaffolding in information systems and decision support, fueled by the desire of bridging the gap between the business user and BI transformation and usage, criticized the firms’ focus on collection over analysis despite the challenge of information overload and gave significant attention to testing in-house acquisition techniques of BI collection to curb the exorbitant price of third-party sources by proposing Limited Information NBD/Dirichlet (LIND) models to infer key competitive measures based on site-centric data (Zheng et al. , 2012 ) or two level conditional random fields (CRF) models to extract comparative relation features from entities and words (Xu et al. , 2011 ) or event detection (NEED) applications that perform events detection based on properties extracted from news stories (Wei and Lee, 2004 ) or proposed 80/20 rule-based models for reduction of cycle time (Kohavi et al. , 2002 ; Liu and Wang, 2008 ) or suggested data slicing and dicing technologies, which index and analyze documents collected from websites matching users’ interest (Chen et al. , 2002 ) or grant rapid access displays of data ( Walters et al. , 2003 ). One commonality within this research stream is the evaluation of the proposed tool against the commercial engines (Chen et al. , 2002 ; Zheng et al. , 2012 ; Xu et al. , 2011 ).

The coming of the WEB 2.0, digitization, the internet of things and Big Data further challenged the BI process by technical issues in regard to (a) the time consuming process of transforming and storing structured and unstructured data into the data warehouse, (b) the lack of techniques capable of, simultaneously, alleviating data heterogeneity and integrating slice, dice, roll-up and drill-down dimensions for data evaluation, (c) the multidimensional view of data through OLAP, which needs continuous performance improvement; (d) the rising volume of data, which challenges the capacity of the RDBMSs to query and store data, (e) the pressure on ETL to filter, cluster and integrate current operational data, for real time decision-making support and (d) detect hidden patterns in terabytes of data (Chaudhuri et al. , 2011 ). This ushered most empirical studies in this stream to shift their attention to what Chen et al. (2012) refer to as BI 3.0 or mobile BI and accordingly update BI technologies and develop new applications that can detect patterns in terabytes of data, diminish further information overload, and merge structured with unstructured data (Chen et al. , 2012 ; Srivastava and Cooley, 2003 ; Chung et al. , 2005 ; Chau et al. , 2007 ; Cheng et al. , 2009 ; Lin et al. , 2009 ) or decipher frameworks for evaluation BI process based on users’ feedback ( Brichni et al. , 2017 ) or modeling its best practice approach for less challenges ( Vidgen et al. , 2017 ; Wang et al. , 2018a ; 2018b ). However, this might not be enough to ensure an effective usage of BI as this latter hinges on the alignment across organizational culture, analytical capabilities and the human capital propensity for BI (Holsapple et al. , 2014 ; Viaene and Bunder, 2011 ). No empirical studies have yet to investigate this triadic relationship and its moderating variables for better BI usage.

Stream 3: the influence of the business intelligence process on outcomes (links B-I-II-III – C-I-II-III-IV)

Drawing from marketing research, scholars explored the influence of BI collection and managerial representation of competitive advantage (Qiu, 2008 ), managerial belief in formulating and implementing strategies (Vedder et al. , 1999 ) improvement of marketing strategies (Fleisher et al. , 2008 ). Other scholars suggested that BI collection translates to share of wallet and profit margin (Hughes et al. , 2013 ) and sales performance (Mariadoss et al. , 2014 ), product innovation and competitive pricing strategies (Trim and Lee, 2008 ), price optimization, expanding product lines and service improvements (Peyrot et al. , 1996 ), superior sales growth, customer satisfaction (Slater and Narver, 2000 ), innovation (Tanev and Bailetti, 2008 ) and profitability and revenues increase (Wright et al. , 2009 ). Although these studies might pinpoint to the relationship between BI collection and strategic outcomes, the question of whether or not this step of the BI process contributes to strategy formulation or implementation remains ambiguous.

Furthermore, the available evidence, drawing from management, demonstrates two stocks of research: one that indicates a clear relation between BI support and productivity enhancement, and information distribution cost savings (Belcher and Watson, 1993 ), price competition (Abramson et al. , 2005 ), firm performance (Akter et al. , 2016 ; Gupta and George, 2016 ), business value (Côrte-Real et al. , 2020 ; Seddon et al. , 2016 ; Wang et al. , 2018a ; 2018b ), innovation (Ghasemaghaei and Calic, 2020 ); another that suggests BI support adds value to the organizational intelligence in at least two interrelated ways, namely, workforce learning (Cheung and Li, 2012 ), information access quality (Popovič et al. , 2012 ), data security (Gordon and Loeb, 2001 ; McCrohan, 1998 ; Sheng et al. , 2005 ; Vedder et al. , 1999 ) and intelligence use (Maltz and Kohli, 1996 ) and organizational knowledge management (Côrte-Real et al. , 2017 ; Shollo and Galliers, 2015 ).

The research strand, rooted in information systems, was limited to providing benchmarks of their BI support technologies to which they ascribe a linkage to the decision-making process. Scholars presented their prototypes and evaluated their success for mergers and acquisitions (Lau et al. , 2012 ), and banking and financial decisions (Moro et al. , 2015 ). Besides, information systems scholars had a penchant for solving tactical issues because of their straightforward evaluation or to scholars’ approach to BI, as a set of separate technologies rather than a holistic decisional paradigm. Therefore, their contributions integrate BI technologies such as data warehouse and data mining into BI support and address its ability to improve firm performance indicators. Studies examined and demonstrated the positive impact of BI support on crafting personalized customer strategies (Li et al. , 2008 ), decision-making (Aversa et al. , 2018 ), strengthen innovation capability (Mikalef et al. , 2019 ), business value (Sharma et al. , 2014 ), identify sales ordering patterns (Cheung and Li, 2012 ), business model insight (Heinrichs and Lim, 2003 ). Research, herein, seems obsessed with solving tactical issues because of their straightforward evaluation or to scholars’ approach to BI as a set of separate technologies rather than a holistic decisional paradigm.

Studies rooted in decision support empirically examined the linkage between BI support and the speed of problem identification, decision-making speed and the extent of analysis (Leidner et al. , 1999 ; Leidner and Elam, 1993 ; Leidner and Elam, 1995 ; Belcher and Watson, 1993 ; Arnott et al. , 2017 ). Still little is known about how BI collection influences decision-making. While it is true that explorative studies reveal the utility of BI collection for organizational decision-making (Ghosal and Westney, 1991 ; Vedder et al. , 1999 ), no empirical evidence has yet examined this belief. The outcome of BI collection on decision-making might be, as well negative than positive, at least for competitor analysis blind spots in the case of capacity expansion, new business entry and acquisition (Zajac and Bazerman, 1991 ). One might keep wonder about the contexts and the extent to which BI can bring value to the decision-making if scholars’ attention does not shift from explorative, inductive studies to more cross functional longitudinal ones to further delve into the relation between BI and the decision-making process.

Stream 4: the moderating effects of antecedents on the relationship between the business intelligence process and outcomes (links A-I-II-III – B-I-II-III–C-I-II-III-IV)

This stream of research is threefold, namely, research at the individual level, organizational level and environment level. At the individual level, scholars, with scaffolding in marketing research, investigated the moderating role of boundary spanners adaptive skills on BI collection sales performance outcomes (Hughes et al. , 2013 ; Mariadoss et al. , 2014 ; Ahearne et al. , 2013 ), the moderating role of the relationship between intelligence officers and strategists on boosting product innovation and generating competitive pricing strategies (Trim and Lee, 2008 ), the moderating effect of the relationship between district managers centrality and district BI quality diversity on salespersons’ performance (Ahearne et al. , 2013 ). Unfortunately, studies rooted in management and information systems or decision support overlooked the moderating role of antecedents at the individual level on the relationship between BI process and outcomes.

At the organizational level, management scholars explored the moderating role of the alignment between business strategy and IT on the relationship between BI usage and business value (Côrte-Real et al. , 2019 ; Urbinati et al. , 2019 ), the moderating role of the relationship between the alignment of business strategy and BI analytics on BI usage and firm performance (Akter et al. , 2016 ), the moderating role of deep organizational structure on the relationship between BI usage and strategy outcomes (Audzeyeva and Hudson, 2015 ), the moderating role of organizational learning and ambidextrous organizational culture on the relationship between BI usage and business value (Bordeleau et al. , 2020 ) and BI usage and organizational learning (Fink et al. , 2016 ) and the mediating role of dynamic capabilities on the relationship of BI usage and firm performance (Wamba et al. , 2017 ). In like fashion, marketing scholars investigated the moderating effects of the relationships between organizational antecedents such as structural flux and perceived intelligence quality on BI usage (Maltz and Kohli, 1996 ), the curvilinear relationship between organizational size and BI use, as well as between marketing departments size and BI usage (Peyrot et al. , 2002 ). On the other hand, decision support scholars shed light on the moderating role of decision-making culture on the relation between the BI content quality and the BI usage (Popovič et al. , 2012 ), the moderating role of the relationship between organizational readiness and design factors on the relationship between BI usage and business value (Popovič et al. , 2012 ) and the moderating role of the information system BI infrastructure investment on the relationship between BI usage and value targets (Grover et al. , 2018 ).

At the environmental level, marketing scholars showcased the moderating role of the relationship between perceived competitiveness of the environment and the perceived value of BI quality on BI usage and organizational outcomes (Maltz and Kohli, 1996 ; Peyrot et al. , 2002 ). On the other hand, one study, rooted in information systems, explored the moderating role of the environment dynamism on the influence of the BI usage on value creation (Chen et al. , 2015 ).

Future research

35 years of BI process research seemed fragmented and scattered around similar areas, with scant initiatives to weave strands of lookalike contributions into one unifying paradigm. Research spawned a considerable number of articles partly prescriptive, partly explorative, revealing discrepancies between theory and practice across the BI process, antecedents and outcomes. Figure 3 displays the covered and underexplored areas in each of the aforementioned streams. Antecedents exploring studies focused on the supply side of the market to formulate viable strategies for an existing industry. These contributions unanimously adopted an outside in perspective, examining the external environmental influence on the frequency and mode of BI collection. They adopted the same structuralist approach to different business environments and neglected the influence of cultural factors and institutional pressures on the BI process. Another limitation of this stream is the exclusiveness of collection activity to executives, rather than the organization as a whole, following a top-down approach in an apparent discontinuity from the literature on bounded rationality that grant executives limited capacity to fathom the dynamism of the environment.

The significant focus on the environment as the primary antecedent of BI collection marginalized discussions on organizational factors susceptible of influencing the BI process. For instance, the ramifications of one single event on the BI use of multinational corporations in different settings. In this vein, managerial heterogeneity seems a potential frontier for research through which scholars shall compare heterogeneous teams to homogeneous groups of executives’ vis-a-vis their uncertainty perception and use of the BI process. Additionally, researchers still need to investigate, which structure represents an environment ripe for effective BI use: organic or mechanistic structure. Similarly, the causation link between strategic orientation and BI process is still vague, despite some studies suggest a one-way association from strategic orientation to BI collection. Moreover, contrary to the trend line of recommendation positing the BI process at the outset of the decision-making or the strategic management process, the authors of the article at hand personally encountered situations, in monopolistic economies, where the BI process was regarded more as legitimacy tools that solidify an already taken decisional or strategic choice. As a corollary, it might be crucial to incorporate the singularity of the decision-making process in developing countries, when hypothesizing coming empirical studies. Another trend line across studies examining BI use is the focus on the receiver’s trust in regard to the intelligence sender. Nonetheless, this latter’s willingness to share intelligence was treated as a given, while it is far from being the case. Particularly, in developing countries where information is shared among individuals pertaining to the same interest groups. It becomes, hence, evident to account for the sender’s trust and influence on the BI dissemination and use, in future research.

In addition, cognitive factors of managers and boundary spanners were rarely on the scholars’ agenda. After all, the environmental uncertainty is a matter of interpretation, which, in turn, is framed by intrinsic factors rooted in the person’s background. More studies, in this respect, should incorporate elements such as age, gender and personality traits. Moreover, the rationale behind decision-makers’ BI collection behavior still appears ambiguous, for there seems to be no evidence regarding the value it adds to their mental models. Another overlooked matter by scholars, caught in an everlasting development of new ways of codifying structured and unstructured data, is the ability of the BI process to acquire and communicate tacit knowledge. Another gap worth mentioning is the scarcity of studies comparing BI practices of multinational corporations in the western world to emerging countries, in a world where anything might happen any second, where new technologies disrupt the status quo of businesses, economies and political regimes. The Covid-19 epidemic, political upheavals or data privacy issues present an opportunity for researchers to examine the linkage between the BI process and strategic agility let alone employees’ and organizations’ privacy and readiness for disruption.

Finally, a myriad of research methods was adopted by scholars, to delve into issues related to the BI process phases ranging from bibliometric studies, surveys and case studies. Some were conceptual papers, whereas others field tested their hypotheses or settled for laboratory experiments. Except for qualitative exploration examining linkage between BI transformation to decision-making success, benchmarking data mining or data warehousing applications against commercial products marked most BI transformation studies, let alone the quantitative exploratory and conceptual articles representing a common trend across studies tackling BI collection. The absence of comparative studies urges researchers to invest time and money probing differences across industries, not in an exploratory superficial manner, but more as a longitudinal thorough analysis depicting whether or not the industry type is a contributing factor to the BI process. Longitudinal studies were, surprisingly, absent, notwithstanding their presence in multiple scholars’ future directions. Another advantage longitudinal studies shall have is related to the evaluation of prototypes and technologies in an accurate manner, encompassing the residual value of such applications on the organizational learning. Longitudinal studies might also enable scholars to tap into cognitive changes prior and after BI collection and usage and track front line managers intelligence use as they assume high level positions. With that said, studies shall alter to a more dynamic view of the environment capable of capturing all the various interactions among its constantly shifting elements.

Nowadays, confidential strategies and tactics are swiftly replicated; the sustainability of the competitive advantage is no longer a result of a secret recipe. Managers shall recognize that room for intuition is shrinking as the need for a rational predictability is rising. Therefore, it seems wiser and beneficial for managers to tear down their walls, and engage in double loop learning with scholars, should they want a better real time decision-making and strategic agility. This review carries some implications for practitioners and particularly the role they ought to play should they seek actionable intelligence as an outcome of the BI process. Across the studies this review examined, managerial reluctance to open their intelligence practices to close examination was omnipresent. Although their apathy is understandable, due to their frustration regarding the lack of measurability of intelligence constructs, managers manifestly share a significant amount of responsibility in turning out explorative and descriptive studies partly due to their defensive managerial participation. Interestingly, managers would rather keep an ineffective BI unit confidential than open it for assessment in fear of competition or bad publicity. Therefore, this review highlights the value open participation of managers in longitudinal studies could bring to the BI research and by extent the new open intelligence culture across their organizations where knowledge is overt, intelligence is participative, not selective and where double loop learning alongside scholars is continuous. Their commitment to open participation and longitudinal studies will help generate new research that better integrates the BI process within its context and fosters new measures for intelligence performance.

Although far from completeness, this systematic review strived to synthesize the BI process body of knowledge via an integrative process framework that pinpoints to areas of redundancies and research gaps where scholars’ attention should be directed. It is hoped that this article will encourage researchers to change perspective and adopt a more comprehensive view of the BI process aimed at contributing to its organizational context and focus its attention on the interrelationships across the BI process, antecedents and outcomes. Drawing from Levy and Ellis (2006) and Webster and Watson (2002) , we sought comprehensiveness from four databases and quality from the ABS ranking list. Therefore, this paper excludes conference papers and book chapters. A caveat regarding the 26 keywords of this study is worth mentioning, as there might surely be some articles that the query strings failed to retrieve; let alone in-press- publications, not yet available when the database search took place. Notwithstanding, a backward search of references allowed the verification of this review’s comprehensiveness, gauged near completion when no new concepts were identified in the literature set (Webster and Watson, 2002 ). However, the material upon which this scrutiny is based epitomizes an open invitation for other researchers, to compare and test whether or not the results herein stand up to close examination. After all, this is the ultimate way to expand and enrich the body of knowledge probing BI process research.
