Annotated Bibliography

Sparks, B. H., & McCann, J. T. (2015). Factors influencing business intelligence system use in decision making and organisational performance. International Journal of Sustainable Strategic Management, 5(1), 31-54. doi:10.1504/ijssm.2015.074604

In this quantitative research, Sparks and McCann examined the factors that influenced Business Intelligence System (BIS) use including the maturity of the system, information access quality, information content quality, and the analytical decision-making culture of the organization. For maturity of the BIS, they considered the level of data integration and analytical capabilities of the system. To measure organizational performance benefits, they used Porter’s value chain to assess business process performance benefits. They found that there was a positive relationship in use of the BIS to organizational performance benefits. This article relates to my research plan because I am studying factors necessary for effective BIS adoption in the banking industry. I will include this article in the literature review of my capstone project.
