Research and practitioner interest in this area has been re-invigorated by recent advances in business analytics and business intelligence (BAI) technologies. BAI systems promise to deliver quantum gains by transforming organizational decision-making processes. This is similar to the promise of enterprise systems, which delivered quantum improvements in performance by transforming business processes. Spending on these technologies is expected to exceed $50 billion in the next few years.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Indeed, after business process transformation, transforming decision-making processes may be the next frontier for IS. However, despite a long-standing research tradition investigating the role of IS in decision-making, including those at the strategic and board level, there is little understanding of how BAI systems may transform decision-making processes, generate improvements in organizational performance, and serve as a source of competitive advantage.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>The theoretical issues raised in the study of BAI systems parallel those investigated in the research on enterprise systems, and also go beyond those previously examined. Research into enterprise systems has highlighted the roles of organizational transformation, process integration, structural change and management support, among others, in capturing benefits from enterprise systems. Adding further complexity, BAI systems involve boundedly rational decision-makers, and decision-making and resource allocation processes embedded in highly institutionalized organizational contexts. The organizational issues in transforming decision-making processes may be different and even more complex than those involved in transforming business processes.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>We solicit papers for this Special Issue that advance the above research agenda.
