An Empirical Study of Bl-based Corporate Performance Management in North America and East Asia

摘要

Managing corporate performance is an important yet challenging process. Recently, many enterprises have adopted business intelligence (BI) tools to facilitate more effective corporate performance management. Based on a survey with 290 organizations across North America and East Asia, this paper presents empirical evidence on the key benefits of and barriers to Bl-based corporate performance management (CPM). The study reveals that the implementation of Bl-based CPM faces multi-dimensional challenges. Organizations in East Asia perceived higher CPM benefits as well as higher CPM barriers than their counterparts in North America. Cultural, economic and environmental differences between the two regions explain these issues. The research findings offer important insights for multinational organizations that are planning or are in the process of implementing or reviewing their Bl-based CPM, as well as for consulting companies that are assisting with CPM implementation in different countries.
