Business Intelligence & Big Data for Innovative and Sustainable Development of Organizations Minitrack

Minitrack co-chairs: Celina Olszak, Sandeep Goyal, Jozef Zurada

The development of the Internet, social media, distributed databases, and a variety of mobile devices has caused a huge increase in data. Much of this diverse data in unstructured and structured forms has a high business value and, if properly utilized, can become an important organizational asset. It contains various information about customers, competition, labor market, and development trends for industries, products and services, as well as the public and political mood. For innovative and sustainable development, it is essential for organizations to utilize this data to increase sales, identify future opportunities and new markets, outperform the competition, enhance products and services, recruit talent, improve operations, perform forecasting, protect the brand, and identify areas for improvement to name a few. However, many organizations make a limited use of this valuable data available to them either because they lack necessary tools or do not understand the value of this data.

The main objective of this minitrack is to provide organizations a theoretical, conceptual, and applied grounded discussion of Business Intelligence and Big Data (BI & BD) to aid in innovative and sustainable development as well as effective decision-making. This minitrack addresses the following questions:
*             What is the substance (nature) of BI & BD?
*             What is the added-value of BI & BD to development of organizations and their decision-making process?
*             How to support organizational creativity, innovation and decision-making using BI & BD?
*             How to design intelligent information systems and build decision support systems based on BI & BD?
*             How to use BI & BD tools and solutions to achieve innovative and sustainable development of organizations?

*             Theoretical foundations for BI & BD development
