The field of business intelligence (BI), despite rapid technology advances, continues to feature inadequate levels of adoption. The attention of researchers is shifting towards human factors of BI adoption. The wide set of human factors influencing BI adoption contains elements of what we call BI culture – an overarching concept covering key managerial issues that come up in BI implementation. Research sources provide different sets of features pertaining to BI culture or related concepts – decision-making culture, analytical culture and others. The goal of this paper is to perform the rview of research and practical sources to examine driving forces of BI – data-driven approaches, BI agility, maturity and acceptance – to point out culture-related issues that support BI adoption and to suggest an emerging set of factors influencing BI culture.

Factors Driving Business Intelligence Culture

Tactical Management is an area where businesses can pursue competitive advantage. Lately, it has been under-addressed and even ingested by operational and strategic trends in Management and Information Systems. It needs adaptability as managerial way of thinking and acting along with proper information requirements recognition, in order for the person performing the tactical management function to accomplish best possible outcomes. With our research we are aiming to provide support in increasing the adaptability to changes for tactical management. At the same time, we are mapping the tactical management information system needs, to prove that they are distinctive from strategic, operational and project management information needs and should be addressed accordingly.
