This exploratory study analyses the effects of the technical and organisational characteristics of business intelligence systems (BIS) on knowledge sharing, collaboration, and decision-making processes. The authors conducted a two-phase multi-method investigation. First, we surveyed 30 enterprises using BIS on a regular basis; then, we engaged in an in-depth case study with one of the respondent companies. Our results show that, on average, the technical and organisational characteristics of the BIS are positively associated with an increase in knowledge sharing, leading to an improvement in internal collaboration that subsequently brings improvement in the quality of decision-making. This case study adds that the way the BIS is designed and appropriated in organisations is important in obtaining such results is. A BIS being designed so that it can be appropriated by the general employee base is key in obtaining the desired organizational impacts. This suggests some requirements for BIS design that we will discuss in terms of theoretical and managerial implications.

Hotel competency is inherently intangible and multivariate. It involves a multiple-criteria decision-making problem. Particularly in the currently rapidly shrinking hotel market in Taiwan, what determines domestic chain hotel groups’ (DCHGs’) competence and survival involves more complex and multiple factors. A practical and effective tool is urgently required for making appropriate decisions. This paper thus proposes a combined consistent fuzzy preference relations (CFPR) and the VIKOR model, aiming to prioritize criteria and solution alternatives for hotel managers. In contrast to prior studies that have used mathematical programming, the model here is also tested using real-world hotel management cases and expert consultation. First, based upon the resource-based view, we propose 21 criteria and six dimensions as the determinants of DCHG competencies. Then, VIKOR is applied to produce the most appropriate alternatives with the corresponding weights obtained using the CFPR method. The combined method successfully manages the problems of linguistic ambiguity and consistency, determines the relative weights of the different factors and provides a ranking priority. The result is compared with some similar methods and is shown to be more useful and reliable. Finally, the verified model can be used to produce strategies. A decision-maker can make selection(s) from the solution formula. Our study may thus contribute to the hotel industry with the efficient decision-making tool of resource-based view (RSV) and two-phase methodologies.
