BI can provide managers with the ability to integrate enterprise-wide data into metrics that link specific objectives to the performance of different business units. In today’s economic downturn, accurate real-time BI metrics are even more critical for measuring and enhancing organizational performance. Many technologies contribute to BI solutions, including databases, data warehouses, data marts, analytic processing, and data mining, among others. BI needs to acquire data from multiple platforms and provide ubiquitous access. This requirement presents numerous managerial challenges. This mini-track aims to promote innovative research in the BI domains of organizational performance measurement and improvement.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Suggested topics:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Real-time business metrics for performance measurement <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Using BI to support the “balanced scorecard” <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Developing the warehouse to create “digital dashboards” <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Critical BI success factors for management control <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Analytical processing <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Techniques for summarizing data <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Assessing organizational performance using BI metrics<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Information extraction and report generation<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Real-time decision making</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Online analytical processing (modeling)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Business performance management (BPM) and improvement<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Economic analysis of business intelligence <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Business intelligence strategies <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Business intelligence performance metrics <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Business intelligence implementation management<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>BI governance, implementation, and management<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Mini-track Chair(s):<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dr. Benjamin Shao<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Arizona State University<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="mailto:ben.shao@asu.edu">ben.shao@asu.edu</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>(480)727-6790<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dr. Robert D.
